Among the victims Of yellow-fever In
the South is DIR. Bemiss. who was a
member of the convention Of yellow
fever experts held in this city in 1873
DR.. Bemiss was also member of the
first commission of experts that was
sent from New Orleans to Ocean
Springs to examine and report upon the
present epidemic. The commission was
deceived by the unusual characteristics
of the fever and pronounced it dengue.
Soon after this report was made the
Doctor was seized with sudden Illness,
and gave evidence of BLACK vomit."
1t is believed that yellow-fever was
brought to ocean Springs by band Of
Cubans, who were quartered at the
Shanahan House, and who Were fire.

frequently left Ocean Springs and re-
turned The entire band was attacked
with the disease, but all have recov-

The yellow-fever in the South is going
to play into the hands Of the Spaniards,
since it is suspected that the dread
disease was brought to Ocean Springs
by Cuban filibusterers who made their
headquarters there. Until the winter
sets in, at least, Cuban refugees and
all vessels from Cuba will be unwel-
come visitors TO southern ports. From
the disease that is epidemic at Ocean
Springs, 1t is said whites and blacks
suffer alike. The sanitary condition OF
the Springs is very bad. Cistern water
Is generally used there. The sewage
empties itself into small gulley, and
is supposed TO be washed out by the
action Of the tide. Moreover, it has
been the custom of oystermen to bring
oysters to the town and sell them to
persons, who store" them in water on
the beach and use them as they need
them. Oysters from this beach and
samples of the cistern water of the town
have been taken to New Orleans for
scientific examination.
