CoNCEALING THE TRUTH.
The same old complaint of concealment
is made. There are no complete reports" !"
said a leading physician tonight in reply to
q direct question Il have no doubt but
what there are double the number of cases
reported Many of the sick do not cali
doctor, and in many other cases the doctor
in attendance sneakS around and doesn't
report We are in for good siege, and in
Il few days the number will increase more
rapidly than now. The colored people are
beginning TO take it, and if they get thor
oughly frightened, hundreds of them will
succumb to the fever.n
The health boards train will now run
regularly, leaving here at o'clock D. NJ,
every afternoon. IL will be crowded to-
morrow.

thing, and his card took everybody by sur
prise, although all admired his manly act.

CONFERENCE OF THE COUNTIES.
President Daniel, on behalf of the COM
mittee on conference, reported that arrange
ments had been made for a conference at
Orange Park, tomorrow morning at Z
O'clock of representatives of st. Johns,
Clay, Putnam, Volusia, Marion, Osceola
and Alacbua counties, and with representa-
tives Of the railroad and river transporta-
tion companies. President Daniel announced
that. in accordance with this suggestion of
the executive committee, he had wired Col.
H. S. Haines to advise him Of the true situa-
tion of the quarantine at Waycross.
INCREASED sTRINGENCY THREATENED.
He had not received a reply, but had re,
ceived letter from Supt. Haines dated
Aug. "a, which he read, showing that pres
sure was being brought to bear to increase
the stringency of the quarantine. He also
read a communication from Gov. E. A.
Perry in reference to the same matter. The
matters brought out in these letters caused
animated expressions OF opinion. The feel
ing over the disposition to deprive women
and children of refuge in the mountains
of Georgia, Tennessee and points west and
north ready to receive them
was full as strong as when the resolutions
protesting against such an attempt were
passed Saturday, but under the present cir
cumstanceS, and during the absence of re-
liable information as to the identity of the
person who ordered the quarantine, it was
determined not to act hastily, but to use
every effort to relieve the situation.
LEFT IN PRESIDENT DANIELS HANDS.
The matter was left to President Daniel,
with general instructions to use all
aggressive force consistent with pru-
dence as reliable information should
indicate, the true facts, whose
influence could be brought to bear
The following dispatch was sent by DIR. Neal
Mitchell to Dr. Hamilton: I'VE demand
that our people who wish to go to the noun
tains Of North Carolina aud Tennessee
and points north, shall be permitted to go
without detention" The Florida Railway
and Navigation company's officials still sell
tickets west via Pensacola to all points
north of Montgomery, Ala. Passengers
going through are locked in their cars.

health was considering a practical method
Of giving more elasticity 10 the rules now
in force affecting the isolation and segrega-
ton of persons in order 10 relieve business
men under proper restrictions Of the board
Of health. He also stated that the board
appreciated the support received by their
executive committee, and would be glad to
receive an expression of opinion from the
committee on the suggested change. After
an interchange CT opinions that indicated
that those present favored more elasticity

ing President Daniel to formulate and pre-
sent resolutions covering the views of the
