THE YELLOW FEVER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Advices
from Jacksonville, Florida, state that
there are under treatment sixty-four
cases of yellow fever, a total to date
of one hundred. DR.. Deal Mitchell
telegraphs that many people in Jack
sonville desire to go to camp Perry.
DR.. Hamilton says the report that no
one is allowed to leave Jacksonville
is incorrect; that special train has
been chartered by the Marine hos
pital bureau to run daily between
Jacksonville and camp Perry, to al
low all desiring to leave Jacksonville
to do so by that route; that the rail
road companies are having extreme
difficulty in running trains owing to
conflicting local health regulations
which prevent them stopping when
they carry passengers, thus delaying
the work.
Seven refugees were received into
camp Perry, Friday and twenty-eight
Saturday. One case of yellow fever
arrived from Jacksonville Saturday
and returned to that city next day.
FOREST FIRES.

on farms near the village escaped
with nothing but their clothes
and are now being cared for
at Powers. Owing to the flames

tell whether the people living farther

lives or not. A family of seven are
reported missing from Mumford and
have not been heard from.
