New York, Aug. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
August opened with IS cases of vel,
low fever in Havana. There are 50
cases in the city now, four of the vic.
tins being Americans.
Thirty Deaths in July.
There were 80 deaths from the fever
during July. Up to Sunday the mum.
Der of deaths this month was IL. Yel-
low Fever cases this year have been
principally confined to the locality Just
west of Central park. known as the
new city. Scarcely any cases have ap-
peared in what has heretofore been
known as the yellow belt" in the
vicinity of the arsenal and the
wharves.
How 1t IL Accounted For.
Tbs is accounted for by some OBJ
servers by the fact that a great
amount of sanitary work was done in
the old part of the city last year, and
uiSlulcCtdutS nave DeSu con-
tinually used there.
Confidence is expressed by the au-
thorities that there will be no general
fever epidemic, as immunes are widely
scattered. The condition is regarded
as nominal, compared with other
years. when immigration reached the
present figures.
Largely Confined to Newcomers.
The cases are largely confined TO
Spaniards and Canary islanders, many
of whom have come to Havana in the
last six months.
1t is expected the cases will average
n a day during August. This IS
usually the worst month for yellow
fever.
Work in the Infected Districts
Men of the sanitary and street clean
ing departments are actively at work
in the infected district. Col. Black las

A Written Confession.

At the police station 4 written con-
fession was taken by the chief of POI
lice. Terrell tried to keep his nerve,
but it was evident that he had been
under 4 severe strain and that he
could not stand the ordeal much
longer. He did not tell a connected
story. Most of the facts were brought
out by questions which he seemed TO
answer reluctantly. Several times he
broke down, and when he was finally
led to a cell he was in a state OF col
lapse. He then seemed to realize for
the first time the awful nature of his
crime. and the fact hat he will, in all
proba bility, atone for it with his own
life.
Secured the Thousand Dollars.
As soon as it was learned that Fer
rell had given the money to his sweet
heart, Inspector Barron went to the
house and secured it. The young lady
was utterly Frustrated by the dis
closures. She had not suspected Fer
re1l of wrongdoing for an instant, and
it was = terrible shock to her and her
parents. who had regarded Terrell as
4 model Young man. The young lady
had never doubted his story that the
money which he placed in her keep
ing had been earned and saved by him
as he stated.
