New Orleans, Sept. 1o.-The announce
ment of twelve suspicious cases in one
square in the city, and that three cases
had developed since the death Of a young
lady who had come from Ocean Springs,
created large measure of alarm in the
was allayed when the facts became
known.
1t developed that a man had died as
resul, of excessive dissipation instead OF
yellow fever, as reported, in the very
square in which the suspicious cases had
been found.
At nightfail all reports received by DR..
Olliphant were 50 favorable that renew
ed confidence was infused in the officials
OF the board. All the patients in Claude
street square are better. These cases
are till classed as suspicious, because
their fever is similar 10 that which pre-
vailed at Ocean Springs. They have
not been declared yellow fever, but they
are under complete surveillance and the
board of health is giving them lis undi-
vided attention and has fully isolated
them.
This morning party Of doctors and
officials left here over the Illinois Central
for Memphis and will return via the Mis-
sissippi valley. They will stop at all in
tervening places 10 make known the ex-
act status of affairs, seeking TO allay the
fears Of the people, in order that panic
in the country may be prevented and
the imposing Of unreasonable quarantine
restrictions raised.
1t is hoped that this visit Of officials
will have the effect OF checking undue
restraint of trade.

and black. in Ocean Springs. by actual
count, are in distress. many being in ex-
IRENE need OF medicines and provisions
Not a morsel Of food or an ounce OF medi-
cine has been given 10 any one except
by private citizens who already have
been heavily taxed.
Sisters of Charity have appealed to the
authorities TO be allowed to nurse the
sick
The fever has not spread west beyond
Biloxi.
Biloxi is appealing for medicine and
the situation in the town is apparently
growing stadily worse. Miss Lewis. in
the city limits. was declared 10 have
