there has been no official announcement Of

merely rumor or supposition, bat it is strong
enough to cause a very marked sentiment in

Tue lack of confidence in the Board
OF Hesllh and the physicians at New Or
leans tends TO strengthen the faith in any
rumors of yellow-fever that come from that
city, because it is alleged that these gentle
men invariably try to conceal the fact when
fever does appear there. An Associated

member of the Galveston Board OF
Health that DIR. Fly, president of the
Board, was TO telegraph from New Orleans
if he found that the reports had any founda-
