In the name Of our people, and humanity,
protest against the order for the detention OF
all refugees from our city and State at the refu-
gee camp It would be better for US to keep
our women and children here rather than sub
ject them to such treatment.
DR.. Hamilton sent the following reply:

character OF the camp, which is charge OF
one OF the most humane officers in the service,
aid none in the country stands higher as to
professional ability. The camp is located in
ole OF the healthiest places in the Florida pine
woods, on the river bluff. originally intended
by the railroad as picnic grounds. and taken by
DIR. Guiteras as the best place for mis- camp.
he was some days ago directed to have sonoe
tents set apart a quarter of a mile distant from
the main camp, for observation of persons sick.
Pollard, who returned to Jacksonville was sick
on arriving at camp;evidently had fever when ha
left Jacksonville. With the general spread OF
che disease in Jacksonville it is useless to ex-
pect that persons should be allowed to mngle
on outgoing trains. Special excursion trains
will be provided for passengers to definite
points. Murphy, in North Carolina, has opened
its doors, the only place reporting itself to
me. PRESIDENTS wish to go to Murphy. any
definite point in Western North Carolina, on
their parole not to go TO the seaboard or quar-
antined towns within ten days from date of de-
parture from Jacksonville. excursion trains will
be forwarded soon as the number Of trains
required can be definitely asceitained. Please
estimate the number of people now in jack
sonville willing to go, people that safe
arrangements be made for transpcrta-
ton.
DR.. Hamilton also sent dispatch to
Governor Perry, informing him that the
general removal of quarantine regula-
tons would simply spread the disease
and render useless existing measures of
relief.

Tbe Presoue Isle Epidemic.

CHEBoYGAN, Mich. Aug. 81. Since the
last reports were given out few days
ago about the cholera scourge in Pressure
Isle County, nothing from any definite
source has been received. The AdUdnce,
the only paper published in Pressure Isle
County, says that the disease is undoubt-
edlv contagious, and all means OF its
spreading will be prevented. Many per-
sons have died. and many are lowering
between life and death. There is no tele-
graphic communication in the whole
county, and no reports have been re-
ceiyed from the interior for several days.
The late frosts will undoubtedly allay the
fears of its spreading and kill the cholera
germs if they really exist.
