 Coming from Cuba the quarantine officers are particular to establish the fact that she Is free frcm fever, about which some of the people of Norfolk are alarmed. Ever since the epidemic of 1855 the inhabitants of the oty have dreaded Yellow Jack, and the slight est suspicion of fever aboard an in coming ship has been sufficient to cause her to be detained or sent else where
 When the wounded sailors from Ger vera's fleet were brought there last summer on the So1ac5, the naval off cials had great difficulty in overcom- ing the opposition of the Virginians to their landing.
 h the present case there has been some telegr2phic correspondence be tween the navy department and Ad- miraI Farquhar, commandant at the Norfolk navy yard, respecting the ad- mission of the ship to the navy yard Surgeon General Van Reypen has given the matter his personal atten- ton ard, recalling the fact that the Mercedes has ,oeen under water since early last July, that there never was fever aboard of ner, and finally that there is no fever at San:iago when she came, he has recommended to Assist tant Secretary Allen, who is directly in charge of the repairs of ships, that the original plan be carried out, and that the Mercedes be brought to the Norfolk navy yard. Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service, was first consulted by Surgeon General Van Reypen, iRasmuch as he is in charge of the national quarantine ser vice at Norfolk, and he declared that there would be no danger in adopting this course, particularly as he world undertake to have the Mercedes
