IN QUARANTINE A MONTH.
Savannah has maintained a yellow fever
quarantine for exactly one month. The
first announcement Of the fever was re-
ceived from Pensacola on Thursday.
aug. ~ ana 4 quarantine was at once
instituted against that city. On Saturday
surgeon Branham's case was reported
from Brunswick and strict quarantine
was at once ordered against that place.
No further developments of the fever else
where were reported until several cases
were reported aboard a ship at Port
Tampa on Aug, 20, and the quarantine
was extended TO Tampa, Port Tampa and
vicinity.
Aug. % the quarantine against Pensa-
cola was raised no further cases having
appeared there and it being doubtful if
the two cases reported on Aug 10 were
yellow fever.
Aug. q the quarantine was removed
from Tampa and vicinity, the marine
hospital surgeon there reporting that no
infection existed at that point On Aug.
SO, however, another supposed case was
reported at Port Tampa and quarantine
was again enforced against that section.
III was reported subsequently that this
case had been wrongly diagnosed. but the
quarantine was continued until yesterday
ON TwENTY-NINE DAYS.
The quarantine against Brunswick was
inforced for twenty mine days, beginning
al noon on Aug. II, ana ending at noon on
sept. 9. While the people of Savannah
regretted very much the necessity for
shutting their doors in the faces of their
neigh bors of Brunswick during the month
Just past they were very glad that so few
succeeded in forcing themselves upon
their hospitality during that time
Now that the danger is over, they will
glad TO welcome the people of Brunswick
IN their midst again.
