DoINes AT JACKSONVILLE.
Situation Being Relieved AS Rapidly
As Possible.


Jacksonville, Fla, May S.-The az.
most superhuman work of the differ
ent committees has somewhat relieved
the situation, and ii is now believed
that in every instance those without
proper food and clothing were in a
measure provided for and that last
night there was vastly fewer people
who were compelled TO sleep upon the
streets
Two hundred tents were erected last
night and while they were very crowd
ed and while several churches and
school houses in the suburbs also were
crowded with sleepers, this condition
also will be relieved to-day by the ar
rival OF 1000 tents from the general
government at Washington, which
Chairman Bours of the housing com
mittee Will have erected at once. The
military companies have been of great
assistance to Mr. Bours with their eX
perience in rapidly erecting tents, and
before tonight there will be several
tented villages in the city for the suf
ferers. To-day there also will be pro
vided several extra commissary sta
tions in various parts of the city &c
relieve the situation at the two al
ready established, and no doubt there
will be one in each village of tents,
There has been no outbreak of sick
ness in the city and the several cases
of nervous prostration which have
been reported are now well on the way
to recovery.
Twelve carloads of provisions ar
rived last niGht from New York and
are now at the depot, where they will
be unloaded and stored ready for de
livery to-day.

away when they are most useful. II
