HAzEN FAILS TO RETURN.
Hazen, the returned refugee who ran the
n,ockade Thursday, did not come to town
from Burnside beach to-day, notwithstand-
ing that his lawyers advised him to make a
test case. Public opinion is averse TO refugees
returning and HaZen discreetly remained
away. Mayor GeroW said to the NEWS
correspondent to-day: sit is a good thing
for Hazen that he didn't come into town
this morning for we would have stuck it to
him heavy. We won't stand any fooling
from refugees who try to come back with
out proper permission. | am doing what is
best for the city, and the people here are
back of me, and with the right on my side l
intend to enforce the law. Refugees are
thus given timely warming"
HOW THE CITIZENS FEEL.
Mayor Gerow's stand is Endorsed by the
public. They don't want any prolongation
of the epidemic, and the people must keep
out until all danger is passed.

wealthy and pretty LaVilla belle, was par
red last night to Haywood Harris, clerk
IN Fretob's cigar store.
The restaurant and medical bureau closed
to-day.
William Hainey, who was critically i'll
yesterday, has taken turn for the better.
South Jacksonville, the last suburb to
have yellow fever, appears to have more
malignant type than any of the other sub
urbs of jacksonville.
HARRY MINERS NURSES PAID.
Harry Miners nurses were paid on an
average about $75 each yesterday, and told
thatno more would be given them. Many
have left town. Saunders, the ex-attache
Of the medical bureau, who was arrested
at Atlanta on charge of having robbed
the medical bureau of quantity of jewery,
etc, will not reach this city until Monday.
The cause of the delay lies in the fact that
the requisition papers had to be sent here so
that the clerk Of the circuit court could
atix his signature to them.

MAYPoRT NOT INFECTED.
The message of DIR. Porter to Surgeon
General Hamilton, put on the wires last
night from Washington to the effect that
yellow fever had developed in Mayport,
did not give full Information. There is
no yellow fever there. A man running on
small tOwboat contracted the fever in
Jacksonville and took to bed in
small house over mile
below Mayport. He was promptly
removed to jacksonville, as were also all
the other inmates of the house. His house
is isolated, a mile of sand dunes separating
it from the town, and the people do not
look upon it as anything serious. Many do
not know it at all, although no efforts of
concealment were made. Mayport is per-
fectly healthy, In the executive committee
meeting to-day representatives of the as
ISOLATION Of Fernandina were present
They came to see what further aid might
be given from Jacksonville Three thous-
and dollars was voted them. This is all
Jacksonville can do. All sides are salts
