tuition and Distress.
PENSACOLA, FLA, Oct. l6.-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 to-day, In company
with the chairman of the executive com
mittee of the Board Of Health, revealed
scenes OF destitution and distress which was
appalling. White and colored people alike
are suffering and alike partake Of the relief
provided for the distressed, but the negroes
rarely die of the yellow fever.
Doctor White of the Marine Hospital
service is well and the two other physicians
on the sick list will probably be ready for
duty In the course of II day or two.
AN ITALIoN PROFESSOR.
Some sensation has been occasioned by
the appearance here of an Italian professor
or doctor, who claims to be able to cure
yellow fever effcctually in few hours, with
out restricting the patient TO drink, diet or
locomotion. The physicians are very indig-
nant and some of them propose the imme-
diate expulsion of the professor. More pru-
dent counsels, however, will probably pre-
vail. In consequence, as is supposed of a
repetition of the same old scandal that
generally occurs in epidemics, Major
| Wathall, Superintendent of Nurses for the
| Board of Health has issued All order posi-
lively prohibiting nurses from accepting
presents from patients under their care.
| The wife of MIR. j. VI. Tarble, Mayor and
Collector Of the Port, is i'll of the fever, but
is carefully attended to by nurses OF the
Board of Health.
