THE FEVER REPORTS.
The Situation at Hampton, Va,
Continues Encouraging.
QUARANTINE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.
A Gordon of Armed Guards at Different
Places for Protection Against Phoe-
bus-Llnes Of TrsfFic In Charge
Of Inspectors.

Washington, Aug. 4-The yellow
fever situation at Hampton continues
favorable and encouraging, in the opin-
ion of the officials OF the marine hos
pital service. According to official re-
ports, there has been no spread Of the
contagion since Wednesday, nor has any
Of the cases now under treatment
proven fatal since that time. 1t is hoped
to confne the disease to the soldiers
home and at Phoebus, but Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman thinks it too early to make
a definite prophecy regarding the out
break, as it is only four or five days
since the presence OF the fever became
known to the officials here Last night
Dr. Wyman received the following tele-
gram from DR.. Vickery, stationed at
the soldiers home: situation favor
able and encouraging. No new cases
and no Deaths" DR.. Wyman received
from the home list of the members of
the institution who were furloughed
on and after July 90, the day after
number Of the inmates became sick
with the fever. Accompanying the
names were the exact dates and time
of the furloughs and the destination of
those to whom they were granted.
Regarding rumors said to- prevail in
Newport News that government ex-
perts had pronounced the disease not
to be yellow fever, Dr. Wyman and
Gen. Sternberg each said that no such
information had been sent to either of |
them and that no reason was known
for questioning that the disease was
yellow fever.
1t was finally decided that the garri-
son at Fort Monroe should be taken
away on the government transport Nc
Clellan, which left New York last
night and will arrive at the fort to-
day.
QUARANTINE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.
Norfolk, Va, Aug. 4.-Dr. F. s. Hope,
quarantine officer Of the port of Nor
folk, who is in charge Of the quaran-
tine here, gave out an interview yes
terday in which he says there is not
case of yellow fever nearer Norfolk
than Phoebus, on the other side OF
Hampton Roads, adjoining the SOL
diers' home. There is a Gordon Of
armed guards to protect Hampton
and Old Point Comfort from
Phoebus. Newport News is also
maintaining strict quarantine, not
only against Phoebus, but also against
Hampton and Old Point Comfort as
well. Norfolk Portsmouth and all
other municipalities this side OF Hamp-
ton Roads have quarantined against
all the points mentioned on the PENN
sula. The beach extending from Ocean
View to Lambert's Point and from Big
Point to Craney island is also patrolled
by armed. land forces. The lines of
traffic leading into this quarantine dis
trict, both steamboat and railroad, are
In charge of competent inspectors. 81
think these precautions, should insure
not only our own people, but the out
side world, that we will bar the disease
out of this section" said DR.. Hope.
ut cannot, in my opinion, cross Hamp-
ton roads. There is not, nor has there
been, a suspicious case this side."
