NORFOLK, VA, August S-(SpecialD-
DR. c. f. Nebill, president Of the Board
Of Health, makes a strong denial Of the
report current in Richmond tonight that
three cases of yellow-feyer exist here.
The Doctor brands it not only as an idle
rumor, but az an uuwarranted piece of
sensatonalsm The fact that the city of
Norfolk to-day is freer from disease
than at any period within the past nine
years shows the statement TO be ground
less
DR.. Lynch, the quarantine officer, states
that there are no fever cases here, and
that If any suspicious or pronounced case
should occur Richmond will be instantly
notified ofiially.
The health authorities have decided to
maintain the quarantine, az at present
In force against PhOebus, Hampton, old
Point, and Newport News. until Saturday
OF this week, when there will probably
be a modification. This does not mean
that the quarantine will be fully raised
as a close watch will bee kept until con-
ditions at the Soldiers Home are again

Colonel Thompson asked that some ar

General Mcmahon and Colonel Smith had
completed the arrangement requested by
Colonel Thompson, and beginning this
afternoon supplies. etc, Will be carried

anime here. Certainly there Will not

Hampton is released 1t is very evident
from the way the wires have been trans
