German Jealousy Over Death Not From Yellow Fever
Reports dispute cause of a living case of fever as malarial. Surgeons Murray and Leonard cite experience and a Pensacola postmortem. Navy surgeon Owen, died after stroke, faced court martial but was acquitted. No yellow fever cases or deaths at the navy yard before the latest death, locals doubt the illness. Dispatches from Washington detail calls to employ sanitary policemen, nurses, and physicians for Warrington and Woolsey. Jacksonville fears yellow fever and requests separate mail handling and fumigation at Baldwin. Still missing.
