No New c ~es of Fever.

Washington, Aug. 31,-Dr. Wyman. surgeon general of the Marine hospital, received encouraging yellow fever news from both Key West and Galveston.

There are no new cases reported at Galveston and quarantine established against the city has been raised, but it IS continued against Fort Point, where the troops are quartered.

Yellow Fever Scourge Is Not Making
 Any Headway.
 Washington, Aug. 31. Gratifying re- ports have been received by Surgeon General Wyman from places where yell low fever recently made its appearance and the hope of the official is that it will be stamped out without difficulty.
 State Health Officer Porter of Florida wires that there is no excitement at Key West, where the fever was reported among the marines and no one is pre- pairing to leave the city. Such as desire to leave will be permitted to do so upon presenting certificates of immunity or remaining in the detention camp at Egg mont Key from five to ten days.
 The cases which made their appear ance at Franklin, La., are getting well, and at Galveston, where the fever is said to have made it's appearance among the soldiers and concerning which the doc- tors have disagreed as to its genuine. ness, the patients are recovering.

The Three Suspected Cases at Fort Point Show no Signs of Being
 Yellow Fever.
FORT POINT IS
 STILL ISOLATED.
Strict Quarantine Is on Against That Place and Will Be Kept There Until All Possible Danger
 Has Passed Away.

Galveston, Aug. s1. The quarantine placed upon this city by State Health officer Blunt has been raised and the city IS again open to the world.
 After thorough investigation by physicians it was decided that the sol fer at Fort Point suspected of having yellow fever did have the disease, but in an exceedingly mild form, and that as no other cases have developed there was no danger of any spread.
 While the city is released from quar- antine, Fort Point is closed to the world for the time being and no one is allowed to pass from this city to that place.
 The three suspected cases at Fort Point have not shown any symptoms of yellow fever.
 Dr. Blunt in an interview said:
 1.-The case was somewhat peculiar throughout. When I was first notified that there was case in Galveston | hastened there to investigate it. After looking at the case, finding there was communication between Fort Point and Galveston, it was my plain duty in defense of the rest of the state to quar- antine against both l did SO kept it on as you know a few days to see devel. opments. with other physicians, made an investigation which with assurances by the physicians there that there was no suspicious cases and that the health of Galveston was good, convinced me further quarantine was unnecessary
 .The doctors of both Galveston and Houston agreed with me in this. Now, there is a close quarantine against Fort Point and it will be kept on for some time The case there is convalescent and there is no further danger
 Houston raised the quarantine against Galveston as soon as Dr. Blunt lifted the strictures he imposed upon that city

Put n Stop To IL.

While the opera season continues, the pavement in front of the opera house will furnish the meeting place Tor the cigarette smokers to congre- gate O nights. It should properly be spelled "cigareet" in this connec- tlon, because the opera youths all pronounce 1t that way. The inter- missions are just long enough to per mt a cigarette to be smoked, and the boys soon learn by the time they nave finished their "eoffin nail" the curtain Is bound to go up again.
 Last night, the opening, the pat ronage from this fraternity of lung aestroyers was excellent and each tlme the curtain fell the lobby of the theater and the sidewalk in front would fill with young men and the tunes of the deadly narcotic; and, When at last the opera was over and ladies crowded forth with their es- corts, they found theexit surrounded Dy sea of youthful faces, each one puiing out cloud of smoke until the aggregation had the appearance oi Schiey's funnel-topped fleet off the coast of Cuba.
 Let the proper authorities put stop to this.

YALE AND HARVARD
 TO BE RELEASED.
They Will He Returned to the Company Soon They Can Ro Put
 In Proper Condition.
August 31, 1898.

New York, Ang. 31.-A dispatch to The Tribune from Washington says:
 The auxiliary cruisers Yale and Har- yard, which though still retaining their naval complement of officers and men have been under army jurisdiction for the last two weeks as transports, have made their last voyage for the present us government vessels, and are to be re- stored to their owners, the American line, as soon as they can be put in con- dition for passenger traffic. The naval authorities have ordered the com manders of these vessels to discharge their ammunition and guns at Tomp- kinsville and make ready to go out of commission, the quartermaster's depart ment of the army which has been pay ing the charter price of $500O day for the vessels since the middle of August, having announced that it had no further use for them.
 The navy department is now under obligation 70 repair the two ships and put them in their orig nal condition. The contract with the owners of the Ameri- can liners calls for the payment of $10,. GOO day as long as the four ships are kept out of their regular ocean trips be- sides making good any injuries to the vessels. It IS estimated that the use of these vessels for six months will cost nearly $2,000.000 for charter and over $500, GOO for repairing damages

Investigation of Camp Thomas.

Chickamauga, Aug. 3l.--Gmeral H. V. Boynton, chairman of the Chicka- mauga national military park commis- sion, ordered by the war department to thoroughly investigate the condition of Camp Thomas and report thereon, has completed his report and forwarded it to Washington. The report is favorable on nearly every matter investigated. The water is said to be good, ground we'll adapted for camping purposes, hos pital well located and the attention given the sick as good as could be ex- peeted. The indications are the report will bring on warm dispute of the numerous statements contained therein, contradicted by high army officials. The full text of the report is expected to be made public by the government officials after they have passed on it.
 Owing to slight unexpected hitch which has occurred between army of. ficials and the railroads the work oi moving the First corps to Anniston, Ala, has not yet begun.

He Is Positive That All the Sickness There Vas Brought by the Sol-
 G!ers From Cuba.
THE INVESTIGATION
 AT CAMP THOMAS.
General BoyntOn Says the Camp Is an Ideal One, and Attention to the Sick Is IS Good as Could
 Be Expected.

New York, Aug. 3l.-The medical officers of Camp Wikoff Montak Point, deny that there has been any deaths at the camp hospital from yellow fever. Two men, whose death there Monday said to be attributable to that disease named, were, according to the surgeon in charge, victims of peoni9ous malarial fever, which those unfamiliar with yell low fever frequently diagnose as the latter.
 Dr Nicholas Senn assistant surgeon general of the United States Army i. quoted as saying:
 In justice to the camp 1 want to say almost none of the sickness among the soldiers up to the present time, and none of the deaths, have been due to conditions which now prevail here, or have passed. The sickness has been al- most entirely limited to levers contract ed in the south, and the denth rate would have been much more than now had the men remained i'll the south in. stead of being brought here. Change of climate lessened the effects of the fever and improved the condition of the men. As 8 consequence the only sickness which can be attributed to the death rate is dysentery or lesser troubles which may have been caused by q change of diet or water.
 "So far none of the levers have been indigenous to the camp. But if they re- main they will certainly be attacked with typhoid fever. This will be from the germs which they will get in the water. For time this camp will be a healthy one, but in few weeks typhoid fever germs from sinks and cesspools now scattered so thickly about will permeate the earth and contanHnate the water supply. /"
 Several hundred cots have arrived and put mp in the different hospitals. There is now enough room to accommo- date all the sick.
 Convalescents are being discharged daily from the hospitals and their places are being taken by sick from transports.
