Norfo1k Va. Aug. 2.-The situation at
,ba SnlIirrs' home at Hampton, where
,,alIow fever prevails, is unchanSeu' oul
the fact that there were no more oV''n5
nnd ,hot mo- new cases have developer
was regarded as Il cheering one wv.
withstaudin. rumors to the contrary no.
n single case of fever existed ou's'ue -
the Soldiels' home, where the fever orlsl-
mated.
The home is surrounded by a strong
guard. No one without a permit may
pass out, and it appears almost certain
that the disease will be kept Wlthlh 'le
walls Of the home and will be conquered
there. The quarantine of pehiIlHul"
noints is now believed to be thoroughly
effectual, and it is hardly possible 'hat
any person can escape from Newport
News, Hampton, Old Point or any other
port upon the peninsula and cross TO the
mainland.
Seven tugs are patrolling Hampton
Roads and the James river, while near
the Ripraps, between Old Point ana
Willoughby spit, the ~teIryboat ocean
View. manned by Grimes battery or
Portsmouth,. is stationed. The purpose
Of this is to cut off any person who may
try to escape to the mainland from OLA
Point.
Excursionists Cause Alarm
Some apprehension is felt in Forts
mouth because of the fact that y negro
eXcdrsionists from that town spent last
Thursday upon the grounds of the Sol
diers' home, but as the excursionlsts are
declared not to have been in direct CON
tact with the inmates of the home upon
that day. when the fever developed, the
fear is believed to be not well founded.
The excitement In Norfolk has subsid-
I'd, but. contrary to anticipation, the exo-
dus has not ceased. The first outgoing
boats and Grains were flied with passen
gers bound principally for the mountains
of Virginia. The exodus from Norfolk
to the mountains every year begins about
Aug. I, but the nulnber of outward bound
passengers is at present far greater than
ever before. Great piles of baggage
which could not be carried on boats and
trains were left behind upon the piers by
the departing passengers There Is be-
lieved to be absolutely no good reason
why people should run away from Nor
folk, but those who go do not stop to rea-
SOU.
The officers Of the grand lodge OF
Elks, who were at Old Point and were
to come to Norfolk. where Il reception
was TO be accorded them. are reported to
be still at Old Point. The feast will be
given up, and the Elks at Old Point will
probably remain there for some time.
There is little danger of any Of them get
ting away.

Then came the unfortunate and un-

pounds less but the latter looked to be
in better condition, the Californian be-

and giving other evidence of not being
in the best condition.
They shook hands ana shaped up well.
Jeffries then landed several times but
was generally over or under. On the
other hand the sailor was wild, going
into the fight with both hands swinging
wildly. but he did not land the first
blow.
Again in the second round Sharkey
was Hopping around and he came in
for a nasty left that rolled him over.
II looked then as though Sharkey was
clearly outclassed o'Rourke however
gave the sailor a talking to- and to
the amazement of all sharkey swung on
Jeffries' ribs and jaw almost at will and
there was wild applause.
AS the fight went along round by
round the sailor fought his way into the
hearts of those who marvelled at JEFF

Californian crouched down low and
though his eyes blazed, he smiled and
