ANOTHER CASE IN THE CITY. I AUCKLAND, Aug. 1. A fresh case of the- epidemic was reprted at Arch Hill late this afternoon. It appears that the sufferer in this instance was a mule European who had recently returned from Whangarei. His ■>ase was diagnosed as being one of smalll vox and he was removed to the isolation hospital at Point Chevalier. The Health OiSco was informed that a further outbreak has occurred at Kaiiar,a, near DargaviUe. Three deaths are said to have occurred at this place, but information to this effect has not yet been received. Advice also came to hand that tho disease had manifested itseh at Waihfke, Bay of Islands, where mo case was reported. In additTon, throe people are said to be infected at vWo C) dose v. Kaikohe, eight at Tautolr ialso "««»* Krtikuhe). one at Te Awamutu, and one at TnutiLaro, near Ham-
