Dissatisfaction at the Efforts of the Au-i thorities to Conceal Its sprend-The Disease Attacking the Upper Class. Refugees Having Hard Times.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 27.-Niue new cases of yellow fever were reported yester- day, among them F. E. Rogue, a prominent furniture dealer The other victims are: Miss Minnie Bours, Mrs. J. H. Bogart, Amelia Costello, w. Burton Mays (coiored), Grace and Fanny Warren, Miss M, A. C. Craig and Henry McGuire. The last two are printers.

 Under treatment, 64.
 Total cases to date, 100.
 Deaths to date, 12.
 There were two deaths, both at St Iuke's hospital, William Craugh, a fireman, and Edward w. Dixon, ieweler, who came here from the north an invalid. Craugh did not give up for medical treatment until Satur day, and has been on the street all along. Two cases were discharged cured. There have been an even hundred cases all told, many light, with marked yellow fever symptoms and believed to be remitteut or bilious fever The infected district IS en- larging. The Sands Point hospital has re ceived much needed enlargement, and the accommodations are now ample. There are plenty of nurses and if the doctors do not al get sick the patients will have efficient care.
 The report that the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad had refused to carry re- fugee passengers through trains to northern points where they were welcome ! found to be true and is causing much m- dignation. It is reported that car full of refugees from this city have been turned back by the Waycross authorities and pre- vented from reaching safe asylums. There Is ill feeling over the report.
 Ed. Sabin, a Jacksonville druggist, Is try ing to get up a direct line of steamers from Fernandina and St Augustine to Charleston so that the trade of the peninsula may not be choked off by the quarantine against Jack sonville He is meeting much encourage ment
 The government has assumed charge of the quarantine regulations, and all the trains south of Folkstone are run under orders of Surgeon General Hamilton at Government expense. At present the railway authorities cannot issue a ticket to any place until Dr. Guiteras or Surgeon General Hamilton choose to make arrangements. The people of Jacksonville are simply penned i'll cage. As several towns north of Geong, including Atlanta, have opened their arms to them the people here are terribly outraged, and threaten to arm and force their way through to the places ready to receive them Dr. Neal Mitchell has written and telegrHphed the authorities at Boulogne that trausporta- northward must be furnished, as the people demand an opportunity to escape.
 Nor is this all. By this order one from here can go to the quarantine camp that was established expressly for the refugees from ojtv of talauraO boNn haaI sent off trying to ascertain by whose author ity this is done, but no replies have been vouchsafed from Washington or Savannah
 The streets resemble the avenues of sleep ing city. A solitary pedestrian is seen once in a while, while the sound of footfal echoes and re-echoes up and down the de serted walks.
 It 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 the record and not far short of twenty. The deaths are three, though one will be en tered in to-day's report-namely, Mir MoArthur.
 Fridays report increased the lack of conf dence, and a number of people left towr Friday night and more Saturday. There l. talk of suspicious cases that are not reported and the feeling is that there ought to be nC concealment It will hurt the town more tt have confidence in the reports lost than i would to state the worst plainly. It i alleged that there are dozens of these sus picious cases Some say that the reason fol secresy is that the disease is attacking tn more well to do class, and they not like t have their names mingled with those of tn class which has hitherto furnished the vic GmS
