Eight Weeks of Disease and Death.
JACKSONVILLE September 22.-Eight long
weeks have passed since the first case of
yellow fever was developed at the Grand
Union Hotel: Tonight the official records
show a total of, ,745 cases and 202 deaths.
The daily list cases and deaths during the
past ten days has been fearful in a city Of
the size OF Jacksonville, with two thirds of
it's people absent.
To-day the record of new cases was again
broken, footing up the figures l63. Of these
lO3 were colored people, who are being
freely reported It is now almost certain
that many hundred colored people have
had the fever and recovered without treat
ment or physicians. The old theory that
| negroes are not liable to contract yellow
fever has been exploded. 1t has been de-
monstrated that they are almost as suscep-
tible to an attack as the whites, but that the
issue is rarely fatal with them; probably
never unless the fever is complicated with
orgsnic diseases.
An old and eminent local physician said
to-day. Negroes never die of yellow fever
unless they call in doctor"
