at O'Clock TO night shows that there are
| tweniy-tOur new cases and two deaths
The total number Of cases to date are
25S, and the deaths thirty four. A mod
crate cyclone passed over tie city this
afternoon, After the vortex went bY
there was a gale from the southwest ac-
companied by loud thunder, keen flashes
of lightning and heavy rainfall con-
Iinuing several hours, clearing the atmos-
phere wonderfully and lowering the tenn
perature, washing the surface of the
streets perfectly clean, as well as car y
ing several hundred barrels of lime which
had been scattered abroad into the river.
The effects of the storm, said leading
Cuban physician to day, viii have a good
effect and will tend to lessen materially
the infection, but will be bad on the tick
Unless watched with great care many
patients may have a serious backse; in
consequence of the change in the weather.
1t is still raining. Clear, bright, moder-
ately cool weather Is hoped for tenor
row.
A special train of five coaches left here
at 2 O'Clock this afternoon via the SAYAn.
nah, Florida and Western Railroad, and
the East Tennessee, Virginia aud Georgia
Railway for Atlanta. Owing TO the Ehort
notice and Misunderstanding about free
transportation only 81 persons went on 1t.
From the tenor of the kilograms 1t was
generally thought here that 1t was Gov

equisitioE of the Surgeon General, but
the full fare, 1880, was charged to At.

The incomClete announcement rel lsting
