YELLOW FEVER.

New ORLEANS, August 9.-New cases,
A; deaths, u. The yellow fever con-
tinues to spread and is now well distrib-
uted throughout the frat and second dis.
tricts with occasional cases in other
quarters. The Board Of Health continue
to use carbolic acid as disiniectant, but
will try lime in few days. -
J.C. Clark, General Manager Of the
Jackson Road, has presented 10 cars
OF fresh burnt lime. Arrangements are
also being perfected for irrigatlng the
city by fiushing the cutters with river
water. All hopes Of the Health Officers
OF checking the disase by any action
on their part seems TO be weakening.
The city Is generally conceded to be in u
fithier condition than for Is years, 10
fact since Gen. Butler hal it cleaned
The Board Of health decided to enforce
the quarantine against vessels from iu'
fecred ports, on the ground that more
malignant virus might be introduced,

al from publication by the Board Of
Health OF yellow, fever bulletins Of new
cases, observes in regard to the death
register: "These reports relate only TO
the mortality caused BY yellow fever, at
least they are given "a such, although
including some strange cases OF death,
for example deaths OF children born
here and Of Creole parentage. We must
acknowledge that it is difficult for US to
believe that these children should be the
victims Of yellow fever. Can il be that
we have some other malady prevalent
amonSt us.
Sister Loyola Lawler, a native Of Pitts
burgh, died at st. simon's School yester.
day OF yellow fever.
Four new cases reported at Port Eads.
Dr.. Stone with experienced nurses ar
rived there this morning. he says the
cases there are yellow fever and the worst
in his experience.
