- SAYS Washington correspondent: 1.-THE
reports to the Supervising Surgeon of the
Marine Hospital Service, from Acting Col
lector Goodrich, at Brownsville, Texas, in
dicate that, while the yellow fever is
spreading there. it has not yet assumed
severely malignant form, and does not ap-
pear to have spread to other localities. 1t
may, perhaps, by precautionary measures
be confined to that locality, but there is
reason to apprehend sudden spread OF the
fever, or its appearance elsewhere, as did
the fever of 1878 In that year it appeared
in Key West early in July, and at New Or
leans about the 18th. From Key West 1t
did not seem to spread, either from sani-
tary precautions or because of some pecu-
liar condition of the atmosphere or
other cause, but frcHrV New Or
leans it passed up the river, and, ap-
parently finding another condition of
things, which fed 1t, became very yirhlent
at Baton Rouge, Port Gibson, Grenada.
Memphis, Vicksburg and other places
along the river. From the experience Of
that year the necessity of prompt action
to stop the spread of contagion became APP
parent. Nothing has been done this year
by the general Government beyond the
appropriation by Congress of two sums of
100000 and $50,090, the former as an
emergency fund and the other to aid State
and local Boards, and local quarantine sta
tions in carrying out their own rules and
regulations. How far this sum of $50 600
may be applied by the National Board OF
Health, or whether it must go directly to
the local institutions, is now before Comp
