70 bad weather and the trouble in procuring re-
liable labor Some thrty-ive houses are ready
for occupancy, but there will hardly be accommo-
dations for any great number of refugees in time
to assist to any considerable extent in the effort
to depopulatc the city. All plans for depopula-
ton thus far have failed, owing to the lack Of
practical methods for putting them into execution.

Medical Aid and Nurses, presents a busy scene.
Uniforms for the corps and saddle horses. instead
of cabs for the physicians, all that is required
TO give il the appearance of military headquarters

Windsor, Fla. Sept 25.-The health Of this
place is good The people here do not expect a
visitation of yellow fever even should it be-

excitement at first but it has about supsided. anu
