examination made the announcement
that twelve Of the cases were genuine
yellow fever.
Laredo presents sad appearance,
all those who could get away having
departed for points north of the state
of Texas. and for points south. 1t is
estimated that nearly four thousand
people have fed from here since the
scare began.
The city is now quarantined
against 1t in all directions in the state
and no person can get beyond the lin
Its OF Webb county. Other Texas
counties have established shot gun
quarantine and are turning back all
who are endeavoring to get away in
coaches, buggies and carts. The quar-
antine applies to all persons, freight

originating in the city of Laredo or
points south. the only persons having
