DR. Burford's attack is very mild.
One death unofficially reported to-day
as yellow fever, the child of Mrs Ford,
was not confirmed. The case was mala-
ria. Surgeon Murray is at Jesup and will
return tomorrow.
EIGHT CASES ON JEKYL.
At 10 o'clock tonight Surgeon FACET
unOfficially reports new case on Jekyl
Island, the wife of Theodore Johannesen.
There are now eight cases on Jekyl. All
have been moved to one spot to insure
careful nursing and treatment. Before
to-day the cases were widely separated
and isolated. Three professional nurses
have been employed to attend them. Out
of thirty employees on Jekyl, Capt. J. A.
Clark. the clubs yachtsman, was the only
one with nerve enough to humanely care
for the sick before the nurses arrived.
REFUGEE CAMP.
A refugee camp, in addition to the de-
teution camp, the first this country has
ever known, will be the result of the vel
low fever epidemic now raging in this
section. Surgeon Murray, through his
private secretary, James Cragg, has
ordered lumber shipped to a point one
quarter of a mile away from Camp De
tention, where the refugees head
quarters will be established. All
new refugees will be first sent to Camp
Detention as fast as new arrivals come in.
They will be kept separate from the
others. At certain safe periods the refu-
gees will be transferred to the refugee
camp to remain until their time expires
and then passed on. This will prevent all
new arrivals from mingling with the old.
The refugee camp will also meet a condi-
tion that the disease has forced upon the
poVertystricken people of this section. To
date people too poor to leave Brunswick
and Jesup have been compelled to re-
main and risk their chances of dying
like sheep, for while the government ac-
corded them ten days free board at the
detention camp they had no money to
carry them farther when their time ex-
plred The refugee camp will remedy
this evil.
FREE BOARD AND FOOD.
All the people who go there and are
known positively to be too poor to move
on, Will be given free board until they are
ready to return home. Extra careful
precautions will be taken to prevent i'm
position by dead beats anxious to secure
several weeks free ratiOnS and shelter
This is a great idea for relieving the poor
people of this section from the danger of
infection by removing and caring for
them. 1t is the direct result
OF Surgeon Murray's efforts with the CO.
operation of Surgeon Geddings at this
end of the line. They are both big
hearted men. They saw destitution and
want here such as they have never seen
before, They planned to help relieve it
and have succeed in doing so to certain
extent. Surgeon Geddings will have the
same control of the refugee camp that he
now has OF the detention camp.
The MORNING News correspondent, in
reply TO cOndemnatory resolutions passed
by Jesup's officials, has addressed letter
TO that body explaining that the reference
as TO where Warren probably caught the
IeVef was based upon statements from
government officials and wired without
any intention of iniuring Jesup, for whose
clzens the correspondent sincerely SYM
pathizes
The first train load of refugees from
9:esqp for Camp Detention leaves tonight
III charge of Surgeon Murray.
