THE MoUNDvILLE CASE.
Statement of Physicians Who Made In
 wNHfamaNiOu.

Statement of Physicians Who Made In-
 vestiRation. Concerning the history of the suspicious case of fever at Mound Dr. W. H. Sanders. president of the State Board of Health. and other physicians issued the following state ment Wednesday:
 'Moundville, aug 16. 1905 "A foreigner. probably an Italian, was discovered at Tuscaloosa last Sat- urday morning, and not being able to self. was placed on a southbound Ala bama Great Southern train to be re- turned to New Orleans, from which place 1t was believed he had come. "Our best information is that he left the train at Hull. twelve miles south of Tuscalosa. He was seen to pass Moundville on foot Saturday at p. m.. without stop ping.
 Nothing further was heard of him until yesterday, when a negro man found him two miles from Moundville in a rude and abandoned cotton house, far removed from any habita- tion; He was seen last night by Dr: Faulk of Tuscaloosa, and Dr. Grimm of Moundville was summoned and found him in an unconscious condition, and therefore was unable to get any history from him. "Dr. Faulk saw him again this morn ing and provided him with bedding and surrounded him with mosquito netting Proper medical attention and food were given him.
 This afternoon he was seen by Dr.. Sanders, State Health Officer, Dr. Ma son, health officer of Jefferson county, and Dr. Sellers. supervisor of quaran- tine for Alabama at Meridian.
 "Dr. Faulk has arrived again and will see him further. While the man shows some suspicious symptoms. yet taken as a whole so many of the char acteristic symptoms of yellow fever are absent that at present we do not feel Justified in diagnosing the case as one of yellow fever.
 "The case will be closely watched and the public will be kept informed Should the case prove to be one of yellow fever the remoteness of the patient from human habitations preciudes all danger of any spread of the disease.

time in arriving at any safe conclu- sions. We found enough, however, to go back to pr. Wasdin in Gulfport and tell him the fever was suspicious"
 Confirmed Diagnosls.
 Since Dr. Sanders departure from he and Dr. Mohr unearthed have been ofiicially diagnosed as yellow fever. This fact has been conveyed in tho Associated Press dispatches Henct there will be no lifting of quarantine against the coast towns of Mississippi as their authorities and those of the State were crying for.
 Dr. Sanders said last night he was surprised at the laxity of land quar- antine as conducted by the Mississippi authorities. He discovered that Mis- sissippi has absolutely no representa- tive at the relay camp near the Mis- sissippi border in Louisiana for ex- change of train crews and attaches. The Mississippi quarantine regulations will not permit agents to go across the line and supervise the camp or. going, not allow them to return and report anything. For this reason Dr. Sanders is congratulating the feat Of the Alabama Health Board in estab- fishing the relay camp at Grand Bay just inside the State line and across from Mississippi. Thss camp was au- thorized by the State Board and erect ed under the supervision of Dr. Sand CTS some time ago and has been in operation continually since. As guarantee of protection to Alabama citizens from infection Dr. Sanders has stationed three guards at the camp to see for certain that all crews and at taches of trains are changed at Grand Bay.
 No Joint Relay Camps. The Mississippi authorities had pro- posed to pr. Sanders to cooperate with the Alabama Board in the establish ing of a joint camp where one now exists on the Louisiana side. It was intended that this would dispense with the Grand Bay camp. On finding the camp in Louisiana not under Missis- sippi control. however. pr. Sanders re- jected the offer and says he will con- tinue the camp at Grand Bay.
 Dr. Sanders will be in Montgomery today and attend to a lot of business details that have come up during his absence. He expressed himself as well satisfied with the report of Dr. Goldth- waite, of this, city. who was sent to Tampa, Fla, to investigate the sus- picious fever there. This was pro- nounced to be dengue and the State will not enlarge the quarantine to ex- tend to Tampa
