Some beautiful young ladies in white

way and showered bouquets Of flowers
upon the guests. Immediately
following the archwsy on
either side Of the street
were long stands gaily decorated, and
there stood hundreds of f%ancifully
dressed little girls, who also showered
bouquets into the carriages. Down
every street so lar as the eye could
reach was seen dense crowds Of people
packing either side, while every build.

The Navy Department Blamed for
the Spread of Yellow Fever at
the Navy Yard.
No New Cases and no Deaths
An Explanation from Head
quarters.


Special to the Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON, August 3l.-The
Navy Department is coming in for a
great amount OF abuse Just now on &C.
count of the spread Of the yellow fever
in the Pensacola navy yard. Well
known physicians, who are not. in the
navy, say that, a soon as the first case
showed itself, every man, woman and
child within the navy yard reservation
except the attending physicians and
nurses, should have at once been re-
moved to outside quarters. Had this
been done many lives, it is claimed,
would have been saved. As il is,
almost every one in the ward has either
died or is now down with the fever.
The public may o expect a report
from the board Of naval officers, who
were appointed to investigate the orr
gin OF the fever, but just what good
that will do is hard to tell. ; Up tC
this time there has not been one single
authenticated Ease of yellow fever out
side the navy yard limits, which goes
to show that greater precautions
against the spread Of the disease wert
taken by the Marine Hospital Service
than by the naval authorities.
NO NEW CASES OR DEATHS.

You arc mistaken. Surgeon Owens
did not die at Pensacola, but at the
navy yard, seven miles away. No one
here believes he died Of yellow fever
but of pneumonia, after great debility
from sunstroke. Patients do not &c

been only one white death in 30 DAYS
The health of the city is exceptionally
good. Hundreds of people are NOT
leaving. Since the post mortem hello
sixty days ago, developing that the
fever was malarial and not yellow
fever, less han half a hundred have

here and no one is hurt, save the mer.
