GALVESTON, Septmbe IA "A special to
the NsoCs, dated Matamoras, September IS,
says: "The epidemic at this point seems to
have undergone but little change, there
being Few scattering cas-, IS throughout the
CITY, each section having 6 O cases. Yester-
gays report up to a. m. z ives 3 deaths, 2
OF .teVer, and t0.day's repOr gives deaths,
also = OF fever. The river is very high, and
has inu2 2dated some houses In the suburbs,
but no Suffering has been caused as vet.
The IT. .6T city Is R,oShsay. entirely surrounded ;u!T s
there were four hundred and twenty-
six new cases aud twenty. -four deaths,
and thus far this week thel e have been
one hundred and eighty seven cases
and nine deaths. OF these one hundred and
seventeen cases and three deatl Is were re-
ported for the twenty-four no urs ending at

dsy. Thirty-seven new cases are reported

PENSACOLA, September 14--There were
eleven new cases of yellow fever to-day and
Two deaths. The fever continues to rage
here, and destitutiol7 and suffering
increase, while the mea us of amelioration
daily grow less. The aggregate expenses of
the relief associations end the Board OF
Health amount to from $500 to 5000 per day.
The National Board has agreed to appro-
pirate $3.50 per day, about One-fourth of the
u n.
aid issued by the Relief G ommittee Of the
Young Mems Christian A ssociation have
come from New Orles ms. No re-
sponses from any other city are reported
aJ their rooms. This is, doubtless, due to
the fact that an impression prevsile that
the National Board would supply all the
needed relief. AS such is not the case, it is
earnestly urged upon the Young
Mems Christian Associations Of
collections as the benevolence of the people
OF their towns and cities may be- willing to-
give, and send the same to the. Chairman
and Secretary of the Relief Committee az
expeditiously as possible.
About one hundred cases are u nder Great
ment. The doctors have been taxed to
their fullest energies, and have st Ood like a
stone wall. Every relief committee Is work
ing zealously and harmoniously. The
Young Mems Christian Association acts
with prayer and confidence in the Christian
benev0lence OF the country. When that
fails, they say all fails. General Superin-
tendent Ssltmarsh, of the Louisville and
Nashville Railway, is reported better to-
night.

The Rio Grande is still rising. We are com
pletely isolated. Our mails neither come
nor go. There were 80 new cases of yellow
fever to-day, but no deaths. All the sick In
the city are doing well. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the physicians have en-
tire control Of the fever, and hopes
are entertained of its disappearance inside
of two weeks. The sick In Fort Brown
are doing well. There are no new cases.
Those at Point Isabel are doing well. A
few new cases are reported, but no deaths
for several days past at Matsmoras. The
people are very indignant at the establish
ment OF the quarantine. The city Is re-
ported healthy. The weather is clear and
pleasant.
