to any class OF people. but is participated
In by rich and poor.
The city Is now surrounded on all sides
by an armed guard and the quarantine
rules are enforced with great striciness.
Late last night a stranger was found with
in the gates who could not give no satisfac-
tory account OF himself and he was Inn
mediately placed on a nortbbound train
aud sent out OF town. to what destination
no one knew. he, himself, not knowing
where he would be allowed 10 stop.
The principal cause OF alarm to the peo-
pie O, jackson came from Edwards, only
twenty-five miles distant. where there arc
now thirty-five cases OF dengue, at least
three OF which were reported last night 10
