SAVANNAH, Sept. 1O.-A Bruins
wick special to the Morning Nevs
says four new cases of yellow fever
are reported tosdsy, but no deaths.
One is a serious case. All the rest
are favorable
The Brunswick Board of Health
is now in session. The board has
not given out the number of new
cases. It is stated, however. that the
outlook is bad. Surgeon Magruder
opened Camp Haines this morning.
A train load of refugees reached
Wavnesville from Brunswick last
nj ght and Waycross has quarantined
against Waynesville, which is close
to Camp Haines. The Savannah Be-
nevolent Association has made a dos
nation of $500 for the Brunswick
sufferers.
SAVANNAH, Sept. 1S.-The Morn-
ing Neavs correspondents at Brunss
wick wires as follows: The Bruins
wick Board of Health at noon to-
day reported four new cases of yellow
fever in twenty-four hours. There
have been no deaths. One patient
was discharged, leaving nineteen
cases under treatment. The case
discharged was that of the Cox
child. The Board passed a resolu-
ton calling upon physicians to res
port at noon each day all cases under
treatment by them. A penalty of
$25 for each unreported case will be
imposed. OF the nineteen cases exs
listing only one is regarded as serious;
the others all favorable. Johnston,
the tailor is expected to die. The
weather to-day was hot and muggy,
a condition favorable to the spread
of fever. People are leaving, but
slowly, from the fact that most of
those who are able to do so have
already gone and those remaining are
principally of the poorer classes who
cannot get away if they would. 1t is
estimated that there remain about
5000 people in the city, and of these
the greater number are without
means of livelihood. Camp Haines,
near Waycross, vas opened to-day by
Surgeon Murray, the expert from
Dry Tortugas. DR.. Murray will go
to Brunswick tonight and take
charge there. Surgeon Geddings will
take charge Of the camp tomorrow
Two hundred and fifty tents were
erected at the camp, and mattresses
for 1900 people were plcced in them.
The sanitary arrangements are good.
Beds are raised eight inches from
the ground on platforms. Two diss
injecting apparatuses were received
at the camp to-day, n for mails
and the other for clothing and per-
soual effects. Provisions and all
necessary supplies are at hand, SO
that the work of the detention of
suspects is already efficiently begun.
Grave apprehension is aroused
from the fact that the disease has
spread to all quarters of the city,
and no spot is uninfected. Surgeons
Murray and DeSaussure arrived to-
day, and to>night the members of
the Board of Health and Surgeons
FACET, Geddiugs, DeSaussure and
Murray met in consultation. 1t was
decided to put men or horseback to-
morrow morning to take a census of
the city, and all after that desiring
to leave can 60 through Camp Hut
ton. No one will be allowed to stop
at Camp Hutton over ten days, and
tination. Surgeon Geddings e ported
that he had thrown a Gordon of
AIMED men around the city, and nc
one will be allowed to leave town
without going through the camp.
