VIII Keep Out the Disease.
NORFOLK, VA, August 3.--Dr +. S.
Hope, quarantine officer of the port OF
Norfolk, who is in charge Of the quaran-
tine here, gave out an interview today,
which is regarded as being a correct and
concise statement of the yellow-fever
situation as regards Norfolk and vicinity
In the first place. he says there is not a
case of yellow-fever nearer Norfolk than
Phoebus, on the other side of Hampton
Roads, adjoining the Soldiers Home
There is a Gordon Of armed guards-a
veritable shotgun quarantine-to protect
Hampton and Old Point Comfort from
Phoebus Newport News is also main
tanning a strict quarantine. not only
against Phoebus, but against Hampton
and Old Point as well.
Norfolk Portsmouth, and all other
municipalities this side OF Hampton
Roads, have quarantined against all the
points mentioned on the Peninsula. This
quarantine is maintained by a fleet of
patrol tugs in both the inner and the
outer harbor. The beach extending from
ocean View 10 Lamberts Point, and
from Pig Point 10 Craney Island, is also
patrolled by an armed land FORCE. The
lines Of traffic. leading into this quaran-
tine district, both steamboat and rail-
road, are In charge OF competent inspec-
tors.
II think this precaution should assure
not only our own people, but the out
side world, that we will bar the dis
ease out of this section" said DR.. Hope.
1T cannot, In my opinion, cross Hamp-
ton Roads. There Is not, nor has there
been, a suspicious case this side"

HAMPTON. VA, August 3-(Special)-
A special meeting Of the Business Mems
Association was held this afternoon, in
order to take proper action to get before
the outside world the exact situation Of
Hampton, as to the Soldiers Home, and
the true state Of affairs as to the fever.
DR.. White, in charge Of the Marine Hos
pital Service here and DR.. Wertenbaker.
also of that service, were present by N
vitation, and in response to a request
from the meeting for a statement DR..
White made the following:
''There are a number Of cases Of yell
low-fever IN the Soldiers Home (exact
number not stated; there is in Phoebus
and near the home, on a street leading
TO the latter one case certainly. and pos
sbly two cases. There is a Gordon Of
twenty-one men around the home. which

there are no suspects I'm Hampton, and

has a Gordon Of its own, and win tonight
extend that Gordon, with my permission.

ease to the home, all commercial restric-
tions VIII be removed. OF course / can
not say when that viii be, The Sol
ders Home IS about one mile from
Hampton"
NO PANIC.
The Doctor gave as his opinion that
Hampton was not infected, and he hard
~ thought IL would be infected, he said.
He saw no reason for Hampton people
being alarmed, or people outside being
alarmed. He did not deem the fever Of
a malignant form. The mortality at the
home among the old veterans had been
about the same it usually was in New
Orleans. but the per cent. would be small
er probably outside. There had been no
panic in Hampton, and he did not be-
lieve there would be one. lie said the
authorities at Newport News had agreed
10 trains running; that they were reason
able, but they had to humor the people.
The following resolution was adopted
by the. associations
"That whereas it is the sense Of this
association that statements made I'm some
of the Newport News and Richmond
papers with regard to the yellow-fever
situation and the relative locations of
Hampton and the Soldiers Home are in
correct, the association refers TO the

ENGINEERS ARE AT WORK.
Lines BEING Run on the Proposed
site of the Union Depot.

The Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina
Railroad Company had corps Of engi-
ncers at work yesterday doing certain pre-
liminary work I'm connection with the To-
cation Of the line Of the Richmond. Pc
tersburg and Carolina into Richmond. A
lire IS being run along Fifteenth street
from the docks 10 Broad street. Progress
is very slow, owing 10 the crowded condi-
ton Of the streets along the line being
surveyed.
The work is for the purpose OF obtain
ing exact measurements in order TO make
the necessary calculations for the con-
struction of the overhead tracks.
Mr. a. ID. Exall has charge Of the work.
Mr. r. h. Seymour. the chief engineer OF
the RchU md, Petersburg and Carolina,
also inspec ed the line yesterday and made
some measurements.
The measurements made also had refer
ence 10 the Union Depot TO be erected by
the Richmond. Petersburg and Carolina
and Chesapeake and Ohio near Fifteenth
and Main streets. There is thought to be
a probability Of the Southern's uniting
with these two roads I'm the construction
of the depot it IS pointed out that 1t
could easily use the depot. as 1t viii be on
practically the same level as the present
Southern Depot The latter structure Is
lily adapted to the needs Of the company
and the city, facts which are thought TO
make it probable that the Southern will
make overtures looking TO getting into
the Union Depot.
