vile KsatsTdny-Po0pIo Leaving the
CITY Owing TO the Increase OF the Dis
oaso.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August 26.-The
Board Of Health reported for the O'Clock
bulletin on Friday evening, eight new
cases OF yellow fever Several hours
afterward more new cases were reported /,
and the Official bulletin then issued by
the Washingt n authorities was fourteen
new cases.
LEAVING THE CITY.
The lack of confidence was again H..
lustrAted by the fact that as soon a. Fri
days report was given out a number OF
people left the city, and yesterday many
more left There was talk yesterday
morning of suspicious cases that the
people want TO know the worst and be
prepared for 1t, but certain ones in au-
thority prefer to work in the dark. 1t
would seem that President Mitchell is in
favor OF giving the widest publicity to all
news, but It appears the newspapers are
not held In much esteem by one or two
others. II these concealed cases are yel-
low fever, then some one is criminally
responsible. II not the public shonld
know the exact facts in the matter, for
conceAlment and loss OF confidence
would create panic that would be very
pernicious in It's eject Friday morning
was delightful, with cool breeze from
the ocean, but the sun was shining down
rather too hotly for the peace OF these
who were watching for the daily crop oi
microbes.
A special train carried tIe representa-.
tlves Of tile city and the other authorities
to Orange Park on Saturday morning ID

south OF here to confer regarding quaTan'

1t is reported that car full of Jack.
sonvllle refugees was turned back from
Way Cross by the Georgia Health au.
thoritiee, and prevented from going to
towns where safety Asylums are offered
The people here are rather Indignant over
the report, as they think such action
smacks ofinhumRnity.
DR. Mitchell says in regard to the mat
ter; ~ would say that this Board has re-
ceived no notification of such action. II
fishing an absolute quarantine was con
sidered on Friday. If such restrictive
measures were deemed necessary and
adopted the health authorities of this city
should have been Immediately notified
