Headquarters.
The only news received from Bruins
wick yesterday by the city authorities
was a telegram stating that no other cases
Of fever had developed and that there
were no suspicious cases under supervi-
sion. This was received as good news by
Mayor McD0nourh and DR.. Drummer. and
they we're very glad that there should
be no other news, no news Just now being
considered the best kind.
The only news from Tampa was tele-
gram received by Supt Fleming, of the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway,
from the agent Of the Plant system at
Port Tampa, confirming DR.. Porter's re-
port OF the situation there. The tele-
gram read as follows:
Port Tampa. Fla, Aug Or. G..
Fleming, Supt: DR.. Porter has sent the fol
lowing to all inquirers this morning: No
yellow fever or any contagious quarantinable
diseases here OF vicinity J. BRADLEY,
Agent
The authorities were very glad to hear
that there was little prospect Of any more
fever at Port Tampa. The quarantine
against that district will be continued,
however, for several days yet, until the
full time has elapsed for the development
of the fever germs.
PARTIALLY LIFTED FROM PENSACOLA.
The quarantine against Pensacola has
been practically raised, the government
physicians having declared the danger at
an end there. The inspectors have re-
eeived instructions to admit persons from
Pensacola having health certificates. A
close watch viii be kept on that port,
however, for any further manifestation
of the disease.
DR. Brunner's Office at the city ex-
change was filed yesterday morning with
sanitary inspectors making reports, men
seeking positions as inspectors people
wanting health certificates and others
wanting information as TO how the re-
ward of So offered by the mayor for the
arrest of parties found in the city from the
infected districts was to be earned The
mayors proclamation Offering this reward
set all the amateur detectives on the qui
vive yesterday, every man hoping to earn
the offered reward. That none of them
succeeded is pretty good evidence that
the quarantine inspectors are doing their
duty,
TAKEN AS SUSPECTS.
A negro was arrested and brought to
DR. Brunners Office, his captors claiming
that he had left Brunswick only last Sat
urday. A little investigation developed,
however, that he had left Brunswick
Saturday two Nrraalrc aUo and tho uar~ro
was released, to the disappointment of his
captors.
A white man was arrested by a detect
i've, who claimed that his prisoner had re-
Gently come from Brunswick The pris-
oner denied this, however, and there was
no evidence to establish the claim DR..
Drummer considered the case sufficiently
suspicious to send the man out of town,
but the bill of the detective was not hon
ored.
DR.. Drummer says there must be suffici-
ent evidence in every arrest made under
the mayors proclama tion to establish the
fact that the party arrested has come
from an infected point, otherwise the re-
ward will not be paid. He is on the look
out for parties acting in collision, in the
hopes OF obtaining the reward and MAX
ing "divy," and all such parties will
have to be very sharp to impose upon the
health officer There were a number
of instances OF this kind when a
similar proclamation was made by the
mayor during the Jacksonville epidemic
and DR.. Drummer knows how 10 deal with
them.
STEERING CLEAR OF SAVANNAH.
The people of Brunswick seem to be
well posted on the strict quarantine main
tanned by Savannah, and very few of them
are coming this way. Those who came
nm nv the Savannah ENlOrido and XVor tow,
railway yesterday passed on north with
out attempting to stop.
A Dago from Tampa was put off at
Southover yesterday morning He had a
ticket through to New York and was on
his way to Savannah, where he was going
to take the steamer to-day He couldn't
speak word of English and didn't under
stand the action of the quarantine au-
thorities in putting him of the train
he seemed to be under the impression
that he was getting off at the dinner sta
ton, and began TO look around in the
woods for the lunch counter When he
found that he was to go to the pest house,
the significance of which, by the way, he
did not understand, he became wild and
for while the air was filed with Span
lsh invectives. He win have to remain
there for ten days until it has been deter
mined whether he is liable to have the
fever.
SHUT OUT FROM wAYCROss.
The Brunswick and Western Railroad
officials were prevented from establish
ing their headquarters at Waycross
yesterday An attempt was made to ef-
feet the removal Monday night and the
force of officials and clerks went up on
the night train from Brunswick They
were met outside the city by the quaran-
tine officers who informed them that
they could not enter The force was ac-
cordingly taken back to Waynesville, on
the little Satilla river, where the Bruins
wick and Western Railroad has establis-
he'd camp for the refugees. Waynes-
vile is about half way between Bruins
wick and Waycross 1t viii be the head
quarters for the railroad for the present.
1t is thought that Waynesville will be the
site for the government camp also
