WAsHINGrox, September 29.-The
Marine Hospital Bureau is informed that
there are now l46 persons at Camp Perry
and in the fever camp. Mr. McQuaid,

ments be made so that physicians aud
acclimated persons, especially those who
have experienced an attack Of fever
during this epidemic, shall be exempted
from the ten days quarantine Mt Camp
Perry after properly fumigating their
clothing and baggage. II is probable
that this suggestion will be adopted.

of the money contributed for the benefit
of the yelow-fevcr sufferers be used in
paying the expenses OF poor persons who
have beer detained in quarantine for ten
days and who have not money enough to
continue their journey.

We have had another beautiful day, but
the official report of the Board OF Health
shows little dimunition OF the number OF
new cases. which foot up %, OF which
% are white and 60 colored. Among the
sick near the city are Mrs. H. X. In
gram, the promulgator of the conclusion
theory, her husband, and one Of her
sons. Mrs. Migrants life is despaired OF.

Hollenback. Alfred Robinson, Walter
Blackstone, and a colOred infant. The
whole number of cases officially report
ed is 2,457, and the whole number of
deaths, 249. Some OF the most expert
enced local physicians assert that the
new cases Of yellowfeyer are not nearly
so numerous as reported but many cases
are dengue or mild malarial fever not at
all related to the prevailing disease.
New cases are still principally in the
suburbs, there being very few in the
central portion of the city, whore the
epidemic seems TO have almost run ITS
course, leaving but little material on
which it may feed.
