Seven Deaths Reported -N0t Much ! Change I'm She stricken CIsy-Texaa ! Declares Quarantine Against New l s0rleAns.
 l JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept, 17.-Ths of- fcial report to-day shows 52 new cases and seven deaths. This does not include the re- port of the medical bureau of visiting phY sicians which came in after the official list closed and embraced 54 new cases, many of which, however, were duplicated. Only seven deaths were reported up to o'clock thia evening, but it is certain that there have been several others during the past 24 hours. The irregularity and want of sys- tenn among physicians in making reports renders correct figures tonight impossible. Quite number of unacclimated nurses have reached here from various places and it is expected that more than dozen will be rs- turned to Camp Perry en route north to- morrow. Several physicians who came here without their services having been accepted by the board of health are expected to return home. Among the unacclimated nurses is reporter for a leading New York paper. None but acclimated and skilled yellow fever physicians and nurses will be received here- after.
 A special to the Times Union says: Six cases of yellow fever have appeared at Gaines vile among members of the GainesvilleG that recently went to help suppress the long shoremen's riot. A Fernandina special says that place is absolutely healthy. There was 8 stampede from Gainesville yesterday, but a cordon has now been drawn and it is hoped and believed that the fever cannot become ep- idemic there owing to recent extensive sani- tary Improvements. The news from Me- Clenny is favorable, the immediate wants of the community having been relieved and physicians, nurses, provisions and money have been sent there. The weather continues wet and unfavorable.
