person of man named Charles Mccormack,
who had Just arrived there from Memphis.
He was taken to the pest-house, and meas
ures were taken to guard against the spread
| Of the disease. On the same day Dennis
tween Havana and New York, died OF yellow
fever in Brooklyn, N. Y.
DISPATCHES of the Esd announce
that the entire South was rigidly quarantined
against Memphis.
DIR. FITZPATRICK, Sanitary Inspector
| of the National Board of Health, telegraphed

and there was another case of the fever, the
subject being also refugee.

cided on the 18th that no boat or people from
Memphis should be allowed to come up to
the former city after the 26th. A proposition
had been tclegraphed to Washington that a
refugee camp be located on an island near the
st. Louis quarantine landing. No case of the

Spanish sailor recently arrived from Havana
A NEW ORLEANS special of the 9th
to the Chicago Tribune says three well-de-
velOped cases Of yellow fever had manifested
themselves there, all in the upper part of the
city. There was no fear, however, of the
disease becoming epidemic, owing to the
precautions taken by the Sanitary Society,"
Sporadic cases occur every year, and the ap-
pearance of the disease there at this time
should give no cause of alarm under ordi-
nary circumstances.
THIRTEEN new cases and three deaths
were reported in Memphis on the 26th, and
fourteen new eases aud nine deaths on the
9Th. At meeting of the Howard Associa-
ton. held on the afternoon Of the 9th, it was
resolve that the Association needed no as
sistance rs yet from physicians and nurses
from abroad to attend to the comparatively
few eases under their charge. Two coloict.
military companies had gone into camp on
the bluffs, Ulder orders of Colonel j. F. Cam
cron. Tie Police and Fire Departments of the
'city had been strene tLcned, and the authnri-
tics no longer anticipated any trouble.
ONE of the three cases reported in
New Orleans on the 9th died on the 2Sth,
aud an additional case was reported in the
same neighborhood. The locality for four
blocks around Was thoroughly disinfected,
and the utmost precaution was taken to pre-
vent the spread of the disease.
ANOTHER death from yellow fever,
making the third in that city, occurred in
Louisville on the 2Sth, the victim being a
woman just arrived from Memphis. No local
case had occurred. One well-defincd case was
