Washington, Sept. 1.-THE following
telegram giving the particulars for a de-
tention camp near Ocean Springs was re-
ceived today from Surgeon Murray. who
is in charge OF the marine hospital serv-
ice in the yellow fever district:
Ocean Springs, Miss, Sept. 10.
"Wyman, Washington-In company
with Wasdin, HARRISON and Marshal, SUI
perintendent of the Louisville and Nash
vile railway, l have decided on Foun-
taineblesu, formerly Bellefontaine. Mar
shall has ordered the camp train to that
point and lumber and hands 10 erect
buildings. Have rented house and tool
room and nearby residence Engaged
working train and ordered telegraph Of
flee set UP. Have sent word 10 White
and Richardson to report there. Water
from driven wells; provisions from Mo
bile. Have fully considered seashore
camp grounds-too near to present cases
Of fever, say one mile, and adjacent TO
Biloxi. II can be made safe and effect
ual, but the public will complain about
proximity. Round Island would be ideal
pare a wharf of twelve hundred fee; and
all materials will have TO be carried nine
miles by water. and all detained perhaps
would have TO be sent out through
Scranton, now suspected, and possibly
infected. Many beautiful points on bay
GUS and gulf at two 10 four miles from
railroad are thought OF, but. as much
lie n n
lumber and equipage, Will cause ruinous
delay. These remarks in anticipation of
complaints ABOUT the fairness OF land
and lack OF shade. I earnestly recon-
mend that immunes properly certified be
passed through camp after disinfec,in
clothing. also that non-immunes be dis
charged on the eighth day after admis-
sion, provide five days have elapsed az
ter disinfection Of clothing-,en days IS
eleventh date. The Kahns boarded at
Montrose hotel. Biloxi, which is free
from danger. Have informed Booth al
Shreveport. Guiteras will go 70 Bark
leys tomorrow.
