| grayation of the yellow-feyer situation
| here to-day. Cases were numerously re-
| ported. and as early as 8 O'CLOCK
| threatened to equal, II not exceed, the
number of last night, but ct that hour
the death record was small. The fever
seems to be slowly spreading around
town. but up to the present time no nest
1 of cases has been found, and the authorl-
ties have thus far been able to carry
on their work of quarantine with some
success Many of the cases within the
mast few DAYS have been found in houses
where sickness already existed. but the
instances are extremely rare where the
cases have been transmitted from one
bouse to another adjoining. Yesterday
| record of four deaths created some
! alarm. but when to-day, up to nightfall,
there was no evidence that the pace set
