Plnces-Thirty-one New Cases at Jack
 sonville-Row Over Relief Moneys.
 JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 9. - There were thirty-one new cases of yellow fever here yesterday There were four deaths-Mrs. J. P. Broward, Ethel May Welch, W. P. Sandy and Benjamin H. Deas-12 white and 19 colored. Total cases to date 3,9O8; deaths, 337.
 The mayor of Gainesville has notified the mayor of Jacksonville that he wants S5,0OO or SIG, QUO for relief purposes. The authori- ties here replied that Gainesville can draw for Sl ,000 About S1, 400 has been sent there heretofore The trouble grows out of the fact that when Mayor Hewitt telegraphed, asking that New York contributions should be distributed from Jacksonville, a confer ence was proposed, but Gainesville rejected the proposal, considering it reflection upon her own authorities. The funds have there fore been distributed according to the judg- ment of the Jacksonville authorities.
 Gainesville goes so far as to allege that funds sent to Jacksonville for the express benefit of Gainesville have been withheld This is denied and it is claimed here that in rejecting the proposal for a conference Gainesville lost all voice in the management of the fund.
 There is a serious increase of the fever at Enterprise. The fever has existed there since June Twenty cases have been reported and two or three deaths. There are now about ten cases, including Miss Yardell, Miss Brad ley, three Ferguson children, Dr. Cowan and Dr. Long. The last death was that of Rev. MT Bennett on Saturday. There are no dis infectants in the place, and Jacksonville has been appealed to for aid The people made | the grave mistake of conceaHng the facts until day or two ago. Orange county has established shotgun quarantine against Ve- lusia county, in which Enterprise is situated The inhabitants of Enterprise are panic stricken.
