The fact that the physicians now as
sisting the marine hospital service are
turning up all existing cases Of yellow
fever Is evidenced by an examination
OF the report for Tuesday. OF the six

cases presenting symptoms thereof.

showers and somewhat lower temper
allure there was little change In the
yellow fever situation and the time OF
Federal authorities was largely taken
up with routine work 4 dozen sugpl-
cious cases reported under luvestiga-
ton during Tuesday night occupied
the attention Of the inspectors. but
with large percentage Of recoverles
and small percentage Of deaths the
whole situation was regarded with
cheerfulness. The only depressing in
fuence upon the community Is the
serious inroads upon trade which have
been made By the guarantees.
