JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 3d.
IWenty-three new cases of yellow fever
were reported to the board of health for
the tWenty-four hours ending at 6
O'Clock this afternoon. Among them
were members of several leading
families, including Father Kenney,
Mrs. ii. T. Daniel, Mrs. Susan L'Engle
and o. S. Keene. There were
three deaths during the same time.
Lafayette Darcy, confidential clerk of
the internal revenue Office; Mrs. D. j.
Crowley, wife of the manager of the
Western Union Telegraph office, and
David Luigiu, an Italian. A number of
patients have been discharged, but the
record of discharged is no longer
kept by the board of health.
1t can hardly be said that
the disease is more malignant than
week ago. Except for the yellow fever

an extraordinary summer dullness.
intense indignation was caused
here by the action of the
surgeon general in stopping
refugees in going to healthy points to
which they have been invited, and re-
quiring that all be detained at ouaran-
