NEW ORLEANS, Oct. "a special to The
Times Democrat from Jacksonville says:
The dry air we are having is life to the
convalescent With the mercury at 30 an
early frost is hoped for. As it Is, the fever Is
thought to be on a decline.
There were nine cases at Tampa last week
and one death--Father O'Sullivan, very
well known priest. AS all the cases have de-
veloped in houses or families previously
visited by the fever, it seems to indicate that
only certain spots are infected and not the
air. There have been only four deaths In
Tampa since the LIST Of August, so the disease
must be OF a very mild type
At Mango. in south Florida, seven cases
have occurred sincs the 18th of August, but
there have been no deaths. Responding to
call for medical aid from Palmetto, below
Tampa, DR.. r. NJ. Wells found there about
twenty cases OF yellow fever, but all doing
well. Three deaths had occurred during Fri
day and Saturday.
St Augustine is still going to great lengths
TO keep the fever outside of its gates, some
Jacksonville letters received there being re-
turned DIR. Neal Mitchell replied to DIR.
Barry, who requested some information
through the telephone, that all communica-
tons would hereafter be held through the
mails
Cue death occurred at a country house
abo1t four miles from town, whittier party
had gathered to be out of reach of the fever.
All but one have had the fever
Many of the outside male nurses are to be
sent home, by the way Of Camp Perry, as
they are no longer needed.
II is not likely that any one will be allowed
to come into the city before December, not
even under the most favorable circumstances.
An earlier return will be considered unsafe
and undesirable.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct "a Gaines
willie special says no new cases have been re-
ported The two sick members of Maj.
Gruelle's family are doing well.
A Fernandina special to The Times-Union
says three new cases developed on Sunday;
no more reported thus far. No deaths have
occurred since Thursday. There is no small
pox here.
Surgeon Ross has seen some typical mild
cases and says he does not blame the ply
sicians for not recognizing them as yellow
fever Few severe cases are now under treat
ment.
A St Augustine special to the same paper
denies the statement of The Savannah News
of suspicious fever there. Dengue has pre-
vailed, but no deaths have taken place and
there is no yellow fever. The city is keep
ing up Gordon at an expense of $500 per
day to keep out yellow fever.
The St Johns county Democratic conven-
ton win be on quarantine Gordon.
MEMPHIS, Oct, 3-The following has been
received by the Associated Press:
DECATUR, Ala, Oct. 3.-No new cases re-
ported this morning Had slight frost again.
Weather turning warmer We will probably
have other cases from time to time, but |
cannot see any good reason why our mails
should not be re-established. / also think it
would be perfectly safe for north bound
trains to take on passengers here.
