THE SITUATION IMPROVING.
The situation is improving. Many more
white people are out. The streets look less
like an African town transported to Amer
lea. Faces are not SO long. Steps are
brisker and salutations more cheerful. A
few red-cheeked apples nestle content
edly in their boxes on a
lonesome looking fruit stand as if
sure of company before long. The
delightful atmosphere is that Of late
autumn, when friends and strangers are
pouring in our gates, but long time, or
what viii seem as such, must pass before
either can come into this devoted city.
"Wiping out' yellow fever is just half, the
bigger half, it's true of JacEsOnville's work;
keeping it out Will be next III order.
MUCH MORE TO BE DONE.
The list of new cases is decreasing, and
there are few deaths, but there is appa-
rently no less work to be done for the bene-
fit of the public. 1t would require q very
large book to contain all the orders, resolu-
lutions, ETC., of the board of health, official
physicians and executive Committee iii
this city. New rules and orders are
ground out daily, and none Of the former
are repealed.
DR., Porter is showing his level Medicines
bureau. To-day he shipped oil number
Of imported nurses, as there was no further
use for them, and they were being kept
here at an expense of 50 each per day.
KEEPING THE MONEY AT HOME.
The home nurses are being retained, as
tho doctor wants the money to remain
among the home people. In this and other
matters the doctor has lately shown that he
is the right man in the right place. Some
nj 4 hal trin In ba
bureau have yellow flags tiutterng from
their buggy Whips. This is q good scheme
to let the public know who they are. DR..
Porter has now DR.. Ecnemendia and his
fulnigaring aids under his charge and draw
ing pay from the government Dr. Eche-
mendia, in his work Of furnigating, renders
as good service as any physician in jackson

TAMPA's INFECTION.
The fever exists in Tampa in the mildest
possible form, and as the cases are all con-
fined to localities previously infected, no
apprehension is folt. Nine cases and one
death, that of Father O'Srllivan, is re-
ported for the past week. Only four deaths
have occurred since Aug. T.
Since Aug. % there have been twenty cases
at Mango, but no deaths.
Three deaths from yellow fever occurred
ON Aug. 20 ard 49, at Palmetto, on the
Manatee river, and DR.. K. NJ. Wells re-
ports twenty cases now at that place, but
all the patients are doing well.
