WANTS SOME PHYSICIANS.
DIR. Drummer received the following tel
egram from Surgeon General Wyman
yesterday;
Washington D. c. Aug. 2l.-Dr. W. Z. Brun-
ner Health Oficer, savannah, Ga.--Wire me
names Of three or four doctors, good available

WYNAN, Surgeon General
Notices were issued TO oil the sanitary
inspectors yesterday of the action of the
city in quarantining against Tampa and
Port Tampa and ordering them to be es-
pecially strict in their supervision in or
der that no parties from Brunswick or
Tampa might enter the city. The city
tug Theckla was ordered TO coal up and
proceed to Warsaw sound to patrol the
waters in that neighborhOOd and prevent
all boats from Brunswick from coming in
this direction
On account of the number of small riv-
ers and creeks along the coast OF Chat
ham county it IS a comparatively easy mat
ter for small boats to run in with passen-
gers who would make their way to the
city by the public roads or the suburban
street car lines, and this has determined
the mayor to guard these avenues of APP
proach to the city also.
To PATROL THE ROADS.
Mounted police will patrol the roads
leading to the city and arrangements will
be made to secure information of any par
ties landing at Isle of Hope, Montgomery,
White Blum or Thunderbolt.
The mayor is determined that nobody
shah enter the city from the infected dis
tricts if ample precaution can prevent
them, and that if they succeed in entering
their stay shall be made as short as
possible. His proclamation published
above is evidence of this
Orders were issued yesterday that all
vessels arriving at quarantine from Ha-
vana and other infected ports should be
sent to the government quarantine at
Sapelo for inspection.
TWO VESSELS SENT TO sAPELo.
The British bark Mexico, from Cienfue-
Cos, Cuba, which arrived at quarantine
Friday, was sent to Sapelo yesterday in
accordance with this order.
The British steamship Mara, from
Demerara, which arrived atquarantine on
q Leo oct TOW
day on account of having a varioloid case
of small pox aboard. The Maras time at
quarantine expired yesterday and she
was to have come up to-day, but fortu-
nately the case was discovered before she
was allowed to sail. DR.. Graham, the
efficient quarantine officer, is exercising
the greatest vigilance to prevent the en-
try of any infected vessel into the port.
MAY QUARANTINE wAYCRoss.
Mayor McDonough received informa-
ton last night that the headquarters Of
the Brunswick and Western railway
would be removed to-day from Bruins
wick to Waycross. At almost the same
time he received a telegram from Mayor
Knight saying that Waycross would en-
force the strictest quarantine against
Brunswick,
Mayor McDonough notified Mayor
knight by telegraph that if the Bruins
wick and Western railroad headquarters
were removed there, that Savannah would
enforce the same quarantine against
WayCross as against Brunswick. Super
rintendent Fleming, of the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western
railway, said last night
that the Brunswick and Western head
quarters would be removed from Bruins
wick to Waycross, He had not heard of
Mayor McDonough's ultimatum to Mayor
Knight, however, The Brunswick and
Western railroad shops at Brunswick
were shut down for repairs some time
ago. Capt Fleming said
Alderman II. w. Reed of WaycrOss was
in the city yesterday consulting with DR.
Drummer upon quarantine matters. Mr..
Reed said that Waycross would act in
concert with Savannah in enforcing quar-
antine against Brunswick and all infected
points
NAMES OF PHYSICIANS FURNISHED.
Information was received by Mayor
McDonough last night from ValdOsta and
Boston that those two places had quaran-
tined against Brunswick and Tampa.
Dr. Drummer furnished the surgeon
general yesterday the names of sew
eral good physicians who have had ex-
perience with yellow fever, In compliance
with his request to that effect. DIR. Brun-
ner, however, declined to make public the
names OF LlOSe Physicians, as ne mad not
consulted with them on the subject, but
had merely furnished their names to the
Encouragement that he might correspond
with them if he needed their services.
Savannah has at least twenty-five ply
sicians VINO have had more or less expe-
rience with yellow fever, many of them
having passed through the epidemic here
in 1876. Consequently she is as well
equipped on this point for an epidemic as
any city in this country
EQUIPPED FOR AN EMERGENCY.
DIR. Drummer, Savanuah's efficient health
officer has had considerable experience
with yellow fever,
He had the fever in Savannah in 1876,
and afterwards served in the epidemic in
the Nicksburg valley in 1878. He has also
treated cases of fever at various places
since that time, besides his experience of
four years at the Savannah quarantine
and his service OF seven or eight years as
health officer of Savannah.
DIR. Drummer is probably as well equipped
for this position as any health ofticer
in the country. and his opinions upon sani-
tary affairs are seldom contradicted By
the results. There is no one now who win
deny that his action in the matter of the
Brunswick quarantine has not been
amply justified by the subsequent devel-
opments.
