CAMP MITCHELL NOT INFECTED.
Capt Cooper in charge of Camp Mitchell,
denies to-day indignantly the report cirou-
lated yesterday that there were two cases
of yellow fever at that place. He SAYS Dr.
Porter and DR.. Neal Mitchell visited there
Yesterday to inquire into the matter, and
found no sickness. The only foundation
for the story was a Miss Marvin, who had
been out riding in the rain and caught cold
A dose of castor oil soon fixed her case
Size has had the fever, and was engaged to-
day in the healthy occupation of wash
ing The other is the case of a
family by the name of Haight,
the father of which, the doctor saws. is not
altogether right in the head. He sent them
out to a house he had set apart for a
hospital. and all the medicine prescribed
them was sugar cane, for which they had
applied. They are all in good health and
wanted to be removed back to-day.
Mrs. Bertha Crowell, one of the nurses
from Chicago, who went to Camp Perry a
day or two ago was quite ill there yester-
day with the yellow fever.
ENTERPRISE APPEALS.
Enterprise has appealed by telegraph to
the committee here for aid, and reports 22
cases and deaths to date. Five hundred
people are in distress and compelled, to ask
for aid. The appeal is signed by the secretary
Of the board of health. A previous request
sent to DIR. Porter had been referred to Sur
EeOn General Hamilton, who replied that
the government would not furnish rations
except to prevent threatening starvation.
The disinfectants that they have applied
for have been sent by the government.
1t was decided by the committee here to
send $500 for immediate relief purposes.
As to the petition from Palmetto in re-
gard to whose condition Mayor Hewitt of
New York had requested the association
here to make inquiries ana also the commu-
nication received direct from there, the fol-
lowing is the present understanding here.
DR.. Wall, of Tampa, telegraphs Dir. j. C.
LEngle as follows: "Have heard nothing
Of suffering or destitution from Palmetto

the latter place Yesterday Capt. Sam Red
dick from Palmetto was in to
see me yesterday. He said nothing
about destitutiou. will inquire
and let you know in a day or twon The
matter was referred to the president of the
association to act as his Judgment should
dictate, either authorize them to draw or
send provisions to the amount of $500.
HARRY MINERS AGREEMENT.
letter was received to-day in relation
to the much-mixed-up and entangled ques-
ton Of the payment of the Harry Miner
nurses. 1t has finally assumed this shape,

expenses of the nurses back to New York,
with sleeping car accommodations and
meals, and will pay their bills incurred here
Ior laundry and expenses for necessary
clothing, and will reimburse Mr.. Seward,
one of their members, in the sum of $50,
winch he claims to have distributed among
them. He will, further, pay transportation
LOT all who claim to come under the cate
CORY Of Harry Miner nurses" but whom
ne dlsclalms having made any arrange
mehts with ct all. He maintains that
neither he nor the committee here are under
any Obligations to pay their salaries, con-
auerlng the fact that they volunteered
oneE services gratuitously as their written
agIeement will show.
THE GORDON.
Dr. Porter addressed the Sanitary Associa-
uoh today asking for an expression of the
citizens opinions relative to strength
ffllhg the Gordon, as although the matter
Aau been placed in his hands with full
SSutnorlty TO act in the premises, he was
ue'rous Of acting in full accord with the
expressed views of the citizens and civic
snn. authorities. He proposed placing in
TecVors at the nearest stations to the
CITY such as LaVilla Junction, Way
cross, Callahan, Live Oak, Baldwin and
o'ner places. He further suggested, that a
rps OF detectives could be employed to
~. an strangers in town, and suggested
va, ,nay the city pass an ordinance prohibiting
ieuple from coming into the city, and fix
.h Mcarceration as a penalty to any one in
for fpe city without the proper authority
wori, coming in. He thought this
tbs oua have the effect Of keeping out
~ refugees. AS IA further protection
t said the railroad companies
trt. r, oeen prevailed upon to refuse to sell
tbdioo% TO Jacksonville from any point on
tbo ,on mes. 1t is more than probable that
soo1y o council will pass an ordinance in
NJ, bLuance with the expressed wishes Of
was laorter, as Acting Mayor Gerow, who
v,aii present, was fully in accord with it, as
| H as several of the city fathers. A
.sPeclal meeting will be called TO consider
| '-0 matter in the near future.
