Rifts appeared yesterday in tlio clouds which have overhung this city, Portsmouth and Berkley since Sunday night, and the people were gratlilcd by a glimpse of the silver linings. About !) a. m. the Virginian-Pilot received a 'phone message from the Newport News quarantine office that no deaths or new cases of yellow fever had oc? curred at the Soldiers' Home since the last report, and that nil.f the pa? tients in the hospital had been trans? ferred to the convalescent ward. Late yesterday afternoon 1 >r. Wasdln, the Marine Hospital Surgeon, wired this paper as follows from Port Monroe: "Situation at Phoebus and Soldiers' Homo reassuring. Nothing in Hampton so far. (Signed) "WASDIN. "Surgeon M. Ii. C." GIVEN to THE PEOPLE. These messages were given to the people promptly, and confirmed the good news publish) d In the Virginian Pilot yesterday morning, with the re? sult that the excitement which had pre? vailed since Sunday night, when intelli? gence reached here (>r the presence of yellow fever among the inmates of the Soldiers' Home at. Hampton, was al inost, if not quite, completely abated. Many people who left tho city in haste, and Illy prepared, are anxious to re? turn. They recognize now tho fact that thoy became needlessly alarmed, and that from the tlrst there lias been very lit;ie danger that yellow fever would reach this port, and if any ever exist? ed, it. has disappeared. THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES. Acting- upon the principle that fore? warned Is forearmed, the authorities lure will continue the excellent pre? cautionary work inaugurated until the last vestige of fever disappears from the Home and Phoebus, rind Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine Hospi? tal Service, gives both places a clean bill Of health. NO DANGER ON THIS SIDE. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald yesterday wired a Seaboard Air Line official here as fol? lows: Washington, D. C, Aug. a. iso<). Dr. Wyman thinks he has the situa? tion well In hand. Lapse of another day without any Bprcnd Is most en? couraging. Every day lessens the lia? bility of the disease getting outside of present territory. Report from Norfolk nnd Portsmouth show no persons there who were exposed to the disease. It Is not believed Mint there Is any danger at either t.lace. WILLIAMS. WHAT DR. WYMAN SAYS. Surgeon General Walter Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service, Is in full accord with the precautions being ta? ken by the Norfolk quarantine author? ities, as will be shown from the follow? ing statement by him: "I deem tliis measure quite as Im? portant just now as cleaning of the cities to which Infec tion might extend, it Is a proper precaution to take, but it need not cause unnecessary alarm.? Visitors from the localities mentioned should be kept under medical observa? tion for from eight to ten days. De? velopment of fever of any sort during that period should be sufficient cause for Isolating the ease and no! if vine the health authorities. "Fortunately the area, of Infection at Hampton and Phoebus Is believed to be a very limited one. Nevertheless some person from that region may have been exposed, and in from three to ten days might give evidence of fever. Now .( such a person should be promptly iso? lated, there would be no excuse for the disease spreading, it Is the duty <>f all citizens to take cognizance of these facts and to act accordingly. "1'oople who in the past month have been visitors at Hampton, simply pass? ing through tho grounds, would not ne? cessarily have been exposed to Infec? tion. Bui people who have been living there it greater or less time are the ones who should be watched, just as is now being done by the local health Officers here in Washington." DR. SMITH IN CHARGE HERE. Dr. A. c. Smith. Passed Asslstnnt Surgeon Marine Hospital Service, ar? rived in the city yesterday from Ro? chester, N. Y.. where he lias been on :i leave of absence. Dr. Smith Imme? diately look charge of the Marine Hos? pital office here, and appointed Dr. P St. I*. Monctire. of Norfolk. Assistant Surgeon in charge of Crancy Island. Norfolk's detention station. It Is Dr. Smith's opinion that the few persons Who have taken flight und fled from the fever aro unnccessnrially alarmed. NORFOLK WILL SEND PRO? VISIONS. Norfolk's merchants having been fur? nishing provisions for the Soldiers' Home at Hampton, a conference was held yesterday between Mayor John? ston, the health authorities, Mr. M. 11. Crowcll, Of tho Old Dominion Steam? ship Company, and several merchants, to arrange for the transfer of provisions from this city to the Home, Phoebus, Hampton ami old Point. The transfer will begin this morning by the t (Id Do? minion line. An open uninhabited barge will he anchored between Crancy Island and Lambert's Point, and tho provisions will be carried from Nor? folk on the steamer Luray. From there they will bo taken to the points named by the steamer Hatteras, which will fly a yellow flag and carry an inspector to be appointed by Dr. Lynch, Assist? ant Quarantine officer. The merchants represented at tho conference were Messrs. Hough &- Cruser, Hnbbs & Keeling, Williams Bros., W. J. Dil wortb .\- Co., C. W. Pentrcss & Co., George H. Dawos and (i. & It. Rarrett. I NORFOLK'S STRICT QUARANTINE. As an Instance of Norfolk's strict Quarantine, the following from yester day's Riehmond Dispatch Is worth reading: "Norfolk's quarantine seems to be as strict as it is possibles to muke it. "Yesterday morning Miss Fitchett. a young lady of Norfolk, who had come to this city from Old Point, or Ruck roe Bench, hoping to evade the quar? antine which Norfolk has established against Ohl Point, boat (led the Norfolk and Western train for home. "All went well until Tucker's was readied .about nine miles west of Ports? mouth. At that point quarantine Inspec? tors entered the train. Miss Kitchett was in fear and trembling. But she could not tell a story when the inspec? tor asked her where she came from. She had to tell him that he had been staying at Old Point, and that she had been in Richmond not two days. "She had to get off the train. So did about two dozen more persons?male and female?who were trying to get in? to Norfolk from the infected district by way of Richmond." ASYLUM OFFERED REFUGEES. Mayor Wirt Dunlap. of Blacksburg, yesterday sent Mayor Johnston the fol? lowing dispatch: "Blacksburg would be glad to en? tertain some of your refugees." The Mayor replied by wire us follows: "Please accept thanks oT the people of Norfolk for your kind offer. Fever has been confined to the Soldiers' Home and there is no fear of the disease reaching this city." TRUE TO HIS HOME. i police Commissioner A. P. Thorn, who Is spending a vacation up North, ar? rived In New York yesterday and call? ed up Mayor Johnston over the long distance telephone and informed him tlii't he was ready to return immediate? ly to tho city if the occasion required it. Tho Mayor replied that there wns no necessity for his return at this time. AT CRANKY ISLAND. There are now about twenty persons being hold at the Norfolk and Ports? mouth detention station on Crnney Is? land. One of tho buildings there lias boon arranged comfortably, and it Is more of a pleasure than otherwise to spend a few days on the pretty green Is? land. WILL FUMIGATE MAILS. The PostoRlce Department has do' eidod upon the fumigation of all United States mall hereafter to leave the quur- j antine section. Colonel J. R. Waddy. Norfolk's postmaster, yestcrdnv after? noon received from Hon. C. W. Vlck ery, superintendent of the third divis? ion of tho railway malt service, a tel? egram advising him of this fact. The ollires affected are at Phoebus. New? port News, Hampton and Fortress Mon? roe. There has been some comment on the fact that 110 orders had been given for the fumigation of mails from Phoebus, since tho Soldiers' Home mail goes through thai otlleo. and tho people generally will approve of this precau? tion on the part of the Government. W11 AT DR. STERNBERG SAIO. In reply to Pr. NewblU's telegram printed in yesterday's Virginian-Pilot, Surgeon General Steinberg, of the nriny, yesterday wired the following: C. F. Ncwbitl, President of the Board of Health. Norfolk: I made no prediction for publication, hut remarked in conversation tlr.it the disease was very lik?dy to spread among the resident population in the Immediate vicinity "f the Home, but that I did not believe it was likely to extend to Norfolk, Newport News or Northern cities. (Signed) STERNBERG. Surgeon General. HEALTH OFFICER REMOVED. Dr. Rugby, health officer at Newport News, has been suspended by the Coun? cil of Hint city. It was charged against Dr. Bagby that he had been selling passes through the Newport News quarantine line for 25 find l?0 cents. Dr. P.agby admitted ( barging for the pass? es, his contention being Hist he had a right to compensation for bis time. The Council acquitted him of blame, hut ad? vised his retirement to restore tho con? fidence of the people. Dr. Hobson was appointed in his stead. EFFECTIVE OCEAN VIEW PATROL About 8 o'clock yesterday morning a canoe carrying a tall was seen beating up and down along the shore near Ocean View, and il was soon apparent that the two men in ii were trying to land. They were followed along the shore and kept off, linally sailing away toward ('ape Henry, where tle v again tried to land nut were driven oft".
