JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. 25.-From all
accounts the situation at Enterprise is like
ly to be very serious. DR.. Porter this after
noon received the following telegram from
DIR. II. j. Long of Enterprise:
We have nine people now sick, ski critical

DR. PosEY ORDERED THERE.
Surgeon General hamilton was informed
last night, by Surgeon Porter, Of the situa-
tion, and lie replied this afternoon that DR..
Posey had been ordered from Camp Perry
to Enterprise at once.
DR., Caldwell, formerly on the medical
staff here, who is III Rome, Ga, convalescing
from his attack of yellow fever here, tele-
graphed this morning to DIR. Porter that he
would start for Enterprise at once.
Late this afternoon DR.. King Wylly of
Sanford telegraphed: 81 go to-day with two
nurses to Enterprise DR.. Porter said this
evening to the NEWS correspondent that he
considered the situation quite grave for that
section, as there was no telling how far the
disease would spread as doubtless many
hundreds had been exposed to infection be-
fore the quarantine was put on. He added,
though, that this might be mild type Of
the fever, and if SO that there was some
possibility of its not spreading beyond its
original source. The authorities here will
cooperate il every way possible with those
there.
The sickness at Enterprise will seriously
interrupt the political canvass in that part
of the second district Senator Call and
Representative Dougherty were down for
about ten speeches in close counties. Quar-
artines are being established in every direc-
tion.
A Idispatch from Sanford says: ''Drs.
POsey and Caldwell have arrived and are
at Enterprise, and also some nurses from
Camp Perry. The fever at Enterprise has
been declared to be of violent form, and
much danger of further infection is feared.
The government will take charge of the mat
ter in the morning. One death occurred
there to-day"

indications of efficiency and usefulness in

Daniel Hand the donor of this noble

ments, was forced to fly to the north when
the war broke out, leaving all his property,
of about $130,000, in charge of George w.
WI lliams. his confidential clerk and a
southerner. Williams used the property
protit tably during the war, and, by invest

A MAN OF HONOR.

New Haven, counsel for Mr.. Hand, advised
the latter to seek settlement with Mr.
Williams. Mr.. Williams came To New
Haven and honorably paid up the original
sum and interest, amounting to S64S,0O0,

This amount, with accrued interest, forms

of the trust, not more than 500 Is to be ex-

No Truth in the Story that She Nearly
Had q Bad Fall.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The absurd story
about Mrs. Cleveland having narrowly es-
capped falling through the second floor Of
the white house, where the corridor is now
being repaired, has no foundation in fact.
Mrs. Cleveland has not been in this corridor
since the repairs were begun, neither has
Lieut.. Col Wilson, in charge Of the work,
narrowly escaped a serious fall through this
floor. The whole story was made up by an
imaginative workman. President aud Mrs.
Cleveland will remain at Oakview until the
floor is finished in this corridor and the
white house is otherwise in winter order.
This will probably not be until the end of
next week.

seventy-fve miles south, are to the effect
that unless aid is soon extended to them by
the government, great numbers of the
CheyenneS will die of starvation. The In-
dams are insuffcently rationed and clothed,
and lack Of sufficient food has resulted in
much sickness and privation among the
older members of the tribe, who are unable
to go out in search of food.
A SCARCITY OF GAME.
"The young bucks, owing to scarcity of
game, are unable to supply the wants of
the sick and helpless, and are leaving thom

SOUTH JACKsoNVI1LRs PANIC.
A Declaration of Yellow Fever STAN
pedes the People.

A Declaration of Yellow Fever Stam-
pedes the People.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Oct. 25-South
Jacksonville had panic to-day, and the
same scenes are witnessed there as were
seen here at the beginning of the jackson
vile epidemic. There has been large
number of cases of fever there for the last
fortnight, but the resident physician de-
clared time and time again that the disease
was not yellow fever. The city physician
of Jacksonville, with some of the doctors
from the medical bureau, investigated the
cases there. and declared them yellow fever
without doubt, but the people there rested
in fancied security and believed the word of
their own doctor Yesterday, however, he
too came out and acknowledged that the
cases were yellow fever.
INA PANIC.
This set the people over there in panic,
which was precipitated by another death
there this morning, making some five alto
gether. Houses were hastily closed, clothes
flung into wagons and everything presented
the appearance of people in a mad flight
from an unknown danger. Dozens of fami-
lies went out on the railroad to Sweetwater
and Bayard, eight or ten miles on the road
to St Augustine, where they propose to
camp out and remain. Others have gone
into the piney woods, and are camping out
as best they can with the accommodations
they can provide for themselves.
THE HIGHT OF FOLLY.
AS one of the physicians said to-day, this
is one Of the most foolish moves they could
make. They have remained in close prox-
unity to the city, separated only by the
river, have como over on the ferry boat
every day, been exposed to the infection
day and night, and to now put themselves
out in the woods where medical aid cannot
reach them in case of sickness, seems the
very hight of panicky foolishness. Tonight
South Jacksonville presents very deserted
appearance, and almost resembles the other
suburbs of Jacksonville that are so silent
and deserted.
