view expressed last night and for several
days past is not sustained by the reports to-
night, there being nine new cases of yellow
fever within the past twenty-four hours
though no deaths. The people and the
physicians as well, the latter of whom
have labored heroically and without inter-
ruption, had anticipated that the enemy was
conquered and that the disease had about
spent its fury, but the developments of this.
the eleventh day OF the fever, are not at ali
encouraging. The doubtful cases under
observation by the doctors have nearly
all been pronounced yellow fever. It
is not unlikely that several others
on the sick list will receive the same recog-
milton tomorrow. The Relief Association
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian Association have sent tonight,
through the Associated Press at New York,
an appeal for aid. This appeal bears the in
dorsement OF the City Physicians and OF the
Board Of Health"
