Late tonight Surgeon Geddings cor
rected a report that Miss Mamie Casey
has yellow fever at Camp Detention, and
says a complete diagnosis develops only
malaria. The case was first officially re-
ported as yellow fever to Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman. Miss Casey is a sister of a
telegraph operator in the Western Union
Office at Savannah. During the first
scare in Brunswick Miss Casey, who was
visiting friends here, was taken i'll, but it
was finally decided that she was suffer
ing from malaria and not yellow fever

FEVER IN TOWN FIFTY DAYS.
To-day is the fftieth day of yellow
jacks existence here and the thirteenth
day of the epidemic.
Commissary Manager Smiths reports
show, as far as tabulated, that over 80,
900 rations have been issued since the
COmmissary opened and ls6S0 rations is
sued to-day. The commissary has been
open exactly one month to-day, and it re-
quireS $4,000 ratiOns monthly to feed the
destitute women and children. This does
not include men or boys, nor the people
too proud to visit the conmissary for
food. There are poor people in. Bruins

far as possible by the ministers and indi-
vidual members of the relief committee
and health board, who seek them out.
The northeast wind veered this morn
ing to southeast and the weather has
become decidedly warmer, waranting
still further spread of the disease. The
past few cold days gave hope that frost
was near, but Surgeon Murray expects
the epidemic to last six weeks longer, and
has sent for his family to come down.
a great majority of the cases to date
have been among cOlored people, who
usually do not take good care of them
selves, but the gradual spread of the dis
ease will soon envelop all classes, and
only those who have their systems in good
shape and receive proper nursing will
escape.
