WASHINGTON, September o. In
spector Ross of Memphis, In q tele'
gram to the National Board Of Health
to-day, suggests that all attempts Il
persuade the colored people to entel
the camps outside of Memphis be sban
doned. There is no disposition shown
by them to do so, and it is believed
that their leaders, while pretending Il
favor the movement, really oppose it
DIR. Ross also states that should any Of
the negroes becoms hungry and accep
offers of board already made there are
tents enough on hand to provide fol-
them, and they can be fed for fifteer
cent? per day.
The regular semi-annual meeting Of
the National Board of Health will b,
held in this city about the middle Of
