No New Cases arid
No Deaths at Sol-?
diers' Home. ' ;
Most Encouraging Outlook
Since the Fever
Began,
Quarantine Maintained by.
Citizens Armed With
Winchesters.
Car
Loads of Provisions Passed
Through the Line, But No" 9
Presh Produce.
Newport News, Aug. 2. The state
ment of Governor Woodfin, of the Sol
diers' home, this evening in rearit-)
the yellow fever is more encouraging
than at any time since the fever, was
discovered. He says there are no new
cases and no deaths. It was reported
this afternoon that another case had
been found at Phoebus, but it is stated
authoritatively that the case has not
been diagnosed as yellow fever, Major '
Vickery. of .the Soldiers' home hospital
staff, states that the fever cases are
favorable, and only two- now under -treatment
are liable to prove fatal.-
Late tonight a statement wasmada
from trustworthy sources that two more
cases are under quarantine. $ ' :
The report sent out from NorfolK-by
certain papers to the effect fcha there
were six new oases of fever aldd two
deaths in Phbebus last night was with
out foundation. Surgeon General Wy
man arrived at Old Point th?s morning
and spent most of the day at the Sol
diers' home. : J 'Z- '
This evening a car load of .itovlsfons
wasr allowed to pass through quart n
tine for the 'soldiers' home. Ten. pear,
loads passed through-for Hampton.; AH
the farmers are shut out of this City
and 'there Is little f resh-producer to be -had.
. -
Several hundred jpjit?er ave ,volun
feereTd their services on the quarantine
line tonight, and the best . known end
most influential citizens are pdolng .
guard duty ait close intervals armed
with Winchester rifles. It is realised
that only the vigilance of the citizens
and the management of the board of
health prevents the passage of the
quarantine by way of Richmond and
any man who tries to stead - across ;the
lines will be1 shot without hesitation.
REMOVAL OF THE TROOPS.
Washington, Aug. 2. Owing to the
difficulty experienced in removing
troops frotti Fort Monroe to the Dela
ware coast General Merritt acceded to
the request of Surgeon General . Wy
man and the garrison at Fort Monroe
will be sent to some place farther north
than Battery Point, Delaware. The lo
cation has not yet been fixed.
It was intended that the troops
should be conveyed by the Pennsyl
vania railroad's transport from: Fort
Monroe to Cape T Charles and by the
Pennsylvania railroad to Battery Point,
butt the Norfolk authorities notified the
Pennsylvania officials that the trans
port used for the purpose would not be
allowed to enter Norfolk for five days,
cutting off communication by railroad
between Cape Charles and Norfolk.
Government transports will probably
be utilized.
