Yellow Fever.

The Vicksburg Post says that "the
news from Ocean Springs, Mississippi,
and from New Orleans. in regard to
the epidemic of yellow fever at Ocean
Springs is very unpleasant, but it need
not be alarming. There is no direct
communication between this section
and The coast towns of Mississippi. In
order 10 reach them, person has to
90 first either to Mobile or New Or
leans. and hen take passage by anoth-
or railroad. Both New Orleans and
Mobile have established rigid quaran-
tine against Ocean Springs and Biloxi.
although Biloxi physicians say there is
no fever there.
The report of single case in New
Orleans need occasion no alarm. Ii
was evidently brought to that city
from Ocean Springs, when it was be-
lieved that the epidemic at the latter
place was simple dcngue fever.
The New Orleans health authorities
and people will do everything neces
sary TO prevent the Introduction Of
other cases. and the spread of the dis
case. 1t can be easily checked and re
siricted by proper measures. and thu
lateness of the season precludes th'
IDEA that the fever can spread TO in
terror towns. The disease was prob
ably brought to Ocean Springs from
Cuba or Central America"
