The most important new case is DR..
Beverley Warner, the pastor of the rich
Trinity church. His case is a mild one.
Rich and poor alike have been stricken
to-day, and the board of health reports
seem to show that the best drained and
kept streets are presenting cases as nu-
parously as those which are minus of
sanitation
The authorities continue to keep the wa
ter plugs open, and every gutter is filled
with running water. A number of cases,
some ten or more were discharged to-
day as cured. To-day Prof. Metz disin-
fected the various houses in which sick
ness has occurred, and where the patients
have been discharged.
A bitter fight is being made on the board
Of health because it is insisting on quar-
antining inmates of houses in which yell
low fever exists and those houses which
they adjon.
The fever here has, of course, not been
declared epidemic for the reason that ply
sicians are disinclined to report yellow few
er A number Of doctors said tonight
in a formal protest, that if their names
are reported in connection with yellow
fever patients their practice will be ruin
ed. Nobody would send for them if they
have had anything to do with yellow few
