and Help Arriving.

lief Work.
Brunswick, Ca, Aug. 26.-No new or
suspicious cases were reported to-day.
The atmospheric condition is unfavorable
+o further development of fever. The
outlook is hopeful and encouraging. Re
lief is coming in, and the suffering is be-
ING greatly allieviated by prompt and
iudicious distribution of the relief con-
ributions. This is the cheering and en-
couraging news your correspondent Is
able to send from Brunswick tonight.
1t seems that the prayers of the people
nil over the country are being answered,
and Brunswick will be spared the vista
tions of plague that, once spread, means
many people stricken down. Local ply
sicians relief committees and Surgeons
Hutton. Carter, and Guiteras are
watching the sick closely, but
all report encouraging signs. In the
churches tomorrow the prayers and
thanks of the remaining few will ascend
to God for his mercy and goodness in
sparing this little city.
PROMPT AND HEARTY RESPONSES.
The people are responding nobly to the
call for aid but by various published in
terviews with city officials who retugeed
the city to avoid danger and left hand
full of brave, determined men to face any
epidemic that might come, the impression
has been given that the need of relief is
not so urgent Had these men not fled
the city, but remained and helped to l.
leviate the condition Of starving thou
sands, these impressions would not nave
been given to the world. They LETT In
alarm and from far off places of safety,
= l,-.s,, I rry,et hoy If'1
create false impressions, while those who
remain battle against those impressions.
Let the men who are being interviewed
return to Brunswick and they viii be
shown the terrible distress existing here.
The hundreds who are in needy circum-
stances will be fed To counteract the
false impressions made by these interviews
the relief committee has issued the fol-
lowing: 'TO the People of the United
States-The Brunswick, Ga, relief COM
mittee desires to place before the country
the actual condition of affairs at this place.
While there have been but three an
nounced cases of yellow fever, and it is
hoped there will be no others, the destitu-
tion and suffering entailed is as great as
if it were epidemic.
ALL MEANS OF EARNING A LIVING CUT OFF.
"Our every avenue Of sustenance is cut
of, our workshops are closed, our facto-
rles deserted, our entire business
prostrated, and under the most
favorable conditions some time
must elapse before a resumption
of business. We reluctantly appeal to
the generosity of q charitable people to
sustain US through the ordeal The stu
alton has been thoroughly canvassed, and
the appeal is not premature. We are
here to stay, come what may" (Signed)
