No deaths were reported officially to-

Chinese waiter, employed in Chue Halls
Chinese restaurant, was not reported at all
up to o'clock tonight by DR. L. b. Davis,
the attending physician. DIR. Davis has
positively denied the existence Of yellow
fever in Brunswick but an autopsy by
Surgeon Murray and all the local and
visiting physicians held this afternoon
disclosed yellow fever with all the ac-
companying symptoms Black vomit was
found In large quantities. The post NOR
tenn was held at 3 O'Clock, six hours after
death. The patient was consumptive.
DR. Davis not being in the employ OF the
government and his actions during this
epidemic being so peculiar, Surgeon Muir
ray and the physicians are now satisfied
that large number of patients he has re-
ported as malaria had genuine yellow
fever.
DR.. Bowen, Of the World, has been
called home by his paper 10 assist in work
at that end Of the line. His reception
here and the attentions shown him were
sincere and cordial. His treatment Of
Brunswick and her people was just and
fair.
PLUCKY PASTOR.
Rev. John A. Thompson, after extra
hard labor, both mentally and physically,
left yesterday for Huntsville, Ala, to
visit his sick family. Learning of the in
crease Of new cases here, he secured per-
mission to return, and is now en- route
back to his stricken people. This devo-
tion 10 duty is heroic. The lines on re-
turning will be drawn closer tomorrow,
and no women or children will be allowed
to return. All the males will be kept out
that can possibly be controlled.
Among the increasing new caaes are
several refugees who forced themselves
in, Two have died already, and one will
die tomorrow, as penalty for dlsobey-
ing Surgeon Murrays orders in return
ing
The strain mentally and physically on
the peoples minds and bodies is begin
ming TO tell and many are on the verge Of
collapse There is no possible hope for
frost in sight and material in abundance
is here TO keep the epidemic dragging for
several weeks. Every returning refugee
adds human fuel to the plague.
BURIAL or THE cHINAMEN.
Contrary to the customs supposed TO be
observed by Cinnamon at the grave Of
their dead, no unusual ceremony was per-
formed to-day. At the request of Chue
Hall and Wong Choy, leaders of the
Brunswick Chinese colony, Rev. Edward
F. Cook, a Methodist minister conducted
the services. Six Cinnamon acted as pail
bearers, and the casket, an elegant one,
was devoid Of floral or Chinese decora-
tions. No rice, bits Of paper, or other
paraphernalia, supposed 10 be used ex-
clusively by Cinnamon in burying their
dead, were in sight. A number OF Protest.
ants, Catholics and other religiously dis
posed people attended the burial, many
as observers, laboring under the popular
delusion that unusual exercises would be
executed. Tonight all the Chinese re-
sorts and stores are closed, and no sounds
emanate from any Of them.
The Cinnamon at first objected
TO an autopsy, fearing the body
would be thrown into the bay, but
after much persuasion their consent
was gained. The body was shrouded and
cofined, regardless of expense, and a sim
pie stick, with Jim's name in Chinese
characters, was placed temporarily to
mark the grave BY direction Of Wong
Choy the head stick was placed at the
foot of the casket
II is rumored here tonight that one
case of genuine yellow fever has devel-
oped at Camp Detention in the person of
a sailor en- route TO another port. The
rumor, while not officially confirmed, has
been fully investigated by the MORNING
News correspondent, who believes ii to
have good basis and worthy Of the fullest
publication
