In the matter of the five atMMMSted cases, it was unilerst.HHl that the board of experts wotttd 1'ay visits again t further note the condition of tht patieuta and to complete their ding nusis. Numerous suspected crises are licing roportod to the board, but many of them are known to show no t races of yellow fever.

The absence of mortality is AO flag :i tendency to strentfthen public confidence in the methods which are being applied iu the treatment of the cases und unless the disease should suddenly assume a most maliiiant form, many paapM who bad lateaded to leavt ftOWB will probably remain ane help tidbit the battle rather thai run the risk and incon veulenc of travelling through parishel and counties that are terrorized by the wild reports of the plapue. and which are receiving visitors with shottfun instead of opea arms. On the streets there is no semblance

of excitement, and w hat business there is to transact locally is going ou w ithout interruption. It is only at the t ancr ami ship landinifs and at thcii depots that any evidences of the effect of the fever here are found. Sc many towns are ipiaranlining uainst river craft that most of the limits will have to Ik- withdrawn for the time
