give up for medical treatment until Satur

Two cases were discharged as cured. There
have been an even hundred cascs all told,
many light, with marked yellow fever
symptoms, and believed TO be remittent or
bilioWs fever. The infected district is en-
larging. Tho Sands Point hospital has re-
ceived much needed enlargement, and the
accommodations are now ample. There are
plenty of nurses and IL the doctors do not
/
care.
The report that the Savannah, Florida and
Western railroad had refused to carry re-
sugee passengers on through trains to
sorthern points whore they were welcome
Is found to be true, and is causing much in
dignation. 1t is reported that car full OF
refugees from this city have been turned
back by the WaycrOss authorities and pre-
vented from reaching safe nsylums There is
III feeling over the report.

ing to get up direct line OF steamers from

demand an opportunity 70 escape
Nor is this all. BY this order no ono from

established expressly FOR the refugees from
this city. Scores Of kilograms have been
sent Off trying 10 ascertain by whose author.
ity this is done, but no replies have been
vouohsafed from Washington or Savannah.
The streets resemble the avenues of sleep
ing city. A solitary pedestrian is seen once
la while, while the sound OF football
echoes and rs-echoes up and down the de
psrtsd walks
II Is said there are far more cases which
have not been entered in time for the official
report One OF the doctors said that ht
thought the number would be above tbs
record and not far short OF twenty. Tbs
deaths are three, though one will be en-.
tered in to-day's report-namely, Mr.
EoArthur.
