in telegraphy without wires are trying
for the adoption of 'etheric teleg-

Dread COntagiOn Is Being Well

ORIGINAL PATIENT IS FOUND.
II Is Hoped to COnfine Disease to
Soldiers Home and Town
of PhOebuS.

A Washington special says: The
yellow fever situation at Hampton con-
tinues favorable in the opinion Of the
officials of the marine hospital service.
According to official reports there were
no new cases Thursday.
It is hoped to confne the disease to
the Soldiers Home and Phoebus, but
Surgeon General Wyman thinks it too
early to make a definite prophecy re-
garding the outbreak, as it is only
few days since the presence Of the fe-
vor became known to the officials at
Washington.
Tuesday night at half-past s o'clock
DR.. Wyman received the following
telegram from DR.. Vickery, stationed
at the Soldiers home:
Situation favorable and encourage
ing. No new cases and no deaths. "
DR.. Wyman also received from the
home a list of the members of the in
stitution who were furloughed on and
after the ODD of July, the day after a
number of the inmates became SICK
with the fever. Accompanying the
names were the exact dates and the
time Of the furlough and the destina-
ton of those to whom they were grant
ed.
The surgeon general gave this in
formation to the press and asks that
newspapers in the places to which
these persons have gone publish II
and that medical officers hold under
close observation for period of at leas
ten days after they left the home suct
of the inmates as they may be able Il
find.
