BROWNSVILLE, TEX, October 14.-The
people here desire mail Communication re-
established now that the sickness is over.
But one mail has been sent from here since
the establishment Of the quarantine. No
new cases OF yellow fever reported to-day
at any places near here. The weather is
showery.

yellow fever occurred during the past week.

a. fourteen dollars were received at the
Maritime Exchange to-day for the relief of
the yellow fever sufferers at Pensacola.

press Company will forward free money and

PENSACOLA, FLA, October 15.-Fifty-
eight new cases OF yellow fever aud two
deaths were reported yesterday. making the
total number of cases to date ,543, and the
total number of deaths 1877. The reduced
mortality is encouraging, but any forecast
founded thereon would be premature. The
weather Is seasonable and pleasant, but
gives no hope Of early frost. A family of
Norwegians utterly unacclimated, who ar
rived here yesterday, have been removed to
the woods, few miles from here by the
Board of Health.
Edwin A. Adams, Chairman of the Mari
time Exchange Relief Committee of New
York, has authorized the Board of Health to
draw on him for $1,000, collected by the
committee. Mayor Grimes, OF Columbus,
Ga, has $3.50, contributed by the citizens of
that city. The citizens of Apslachicola
send $92, and few minor contributions have
been received.
IL is rumored that number of suspicious
cases OF fever have occurred at Warrington,
adjacent to the navy yard, and also along
the line OF the Pensacola and Atlantic Rail-
road at Milton and beyond. These rUmors
are given for what they are worth, without
any assurance OF their authenti city.
SixtY-four new cases of yellow fever and
three deaths are reported to-day. The
weather Is again warm, giving no promise
OF FROST A drive through certain suburbs
In company with the Chairman of the Ex>
ecutive Committee of the Board of Health
revealed scenes Of destitution and distress
which were appalling. White and col
ored are suffering and alike partak-
ing OF the relief provided for
the distressed, but the negroes really die Of
yellow fever. DR.. White, of the Marine
Hospital Service and two other phy-
sicians are sick. The list will probably be
ready for dutyIin the course Of day or two.
Some sensation has been occasioned by
the appearance of an italian pro-
fessor who claims to be able 10
cure yellow fever effectually In the course
of three hours without restricting the pa
tients in drink, diet or locomotion. The
physicians are very indignant, and some of
them propose the immediate expulsion of
che professor. More prudent counsel will
probably prevail, In consequence, as it is
supposed, OF repetition of some scandal
that generally occurs In epidemics.
Major Walthall, superintendent of nurses
for the Board OF Health, has orders posi-
lively forbidding nurses from accepting
presents from the patients under their care.
The wife OF Hon. j. NJ. Tarble, Mayor
and Collector of this port, is Ill Of the fever,
but carefully attended by nurses of the
Board of Health.
