FERNANDINA IN BAD SHAPE.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, September 90
Fernandina is in bad shape. Fifteen
new eases are reported this noon, but is
very hard to get any details from the
place. Fernaudina has at last been de-
clared infected with yellow fever, and by
the time this is read the Island City will
be almost depopuhted unless the people
are cut OF from places of safety by the
cruel and unnecessary Quarantnes at
certain local points. 1t ismore than pro-
bable that the refugees will find no acces-
sible place that will receive them, and We
fear that great and unnecessary suffering
will result During the past few days
the fever seems 10 heye been doing its
work there. 1t has claimed several vic. |
tins, If the reports that have reached US
have any foundation, but the character
of the disease seems % have rather been |
mistaken by The local physicians and The
Board Of Health or proper announce
meni o. the facts has been deliberately |
suppressed with a view to deceiying the
public.
