ecapitulation-Case under treatment,
1O2 discharged, "a; died, Is: total 1S1;
ratio Of mortality, 8.3 per cent.
The death of Mrs. Talkerson on Jekyl
. Island this morning was one of peculiar
sadness. She leaves an infant only a few
days old, its birth occurring the day after
she was stricken with yellow fever
The increase in cases sustains the as
sertion repeatedly wired by the News
correspondent that hardly the half had
been told in regard to the number of
cases here. There are at least twenty
five to fifty more cases yet undiagnosed
that should be classed as yellow fever, and
when the committee appointed finish
their labors it will be proven a fact.
sEvENTY-FIvE CASES NOT REPORTED.
Drs. Booth and Wall are out by invita-
ton of DIR. Davis and under instructions
of Surgeon Murray and the health board
investigating DR.. Davis patients. They
will also visit the patients of the two col
ored physicians. These three have over
15O cases listed as malaria. The general
opinion among the surgeons and health
hoard = tyr-f IF will ho
positively proven genuine yellow fever
cases. This will further substantiate the
sIatements frequently wired by the
NEWS correspondent that a vast number
OF cases here were not properly reported.
a great majority of these are negroes
and light attacks.
Surgeon Murray returned from the
detention camp tonight, where he was in
consultation with Surgeon Carter. Fur
ther and complete arrangements were
made to fight the disease in this section.
Drs Booth and Wall reinforcing Sur
geons Murray and FACET and the local
physicians here, places the authorities on
about an equal footing with the epidemic.
Inc ratio of mortality will be kept down,
although the disease is expected to con-
tlnue its work six weeks longer. Sur
geon Murray reports tonight that the i'll
spectIon Of Screven and Dales Mill has
ended, and both places are free from
suspicion.
The Washington Press Club has a CORES
Fonucn5 en- route to Brunswick He
Will lbe welcomed by the local men.
MURRAY's POWER ABSOLUTE
Discussion here, at Jesup and at other
places, over the governmental powers when
du epidemic breaks out caused the MORN
ING NEWS correspondent to investigate
the matter. The investigation proves
mat Surgeon Murray's power at Jesup,
brunswick and any suspected places in
yhls section is absolute. So completely
mas congress by an act passed Feb. Is,
1878 vested him with authority that he
