New Orleans, Sept. 30.-There was
neither improvement nor aggrayation OF
she yellow fever situation here today.
Cases were numerously reported and as
b early as q o'clock threatened to exceed the
number of last night, but at that hour the
RPGapd was small. One case was left over,
not appearing in the official bulletin last
night, but being mentioned in the dis
patches of the Associated Press.
The fever seems to be slowly spreading
around town. but up to the present time no
nest of cases has been found, and the au'
thorities have thus been able to carry on
aheir work of quarantine with some sue
cess. Many of the cases within the past
few days have been found in houses where
sickness already exists, but the instances
are extremely rare where the cases have
been transmitted from one house to anotl-
err adjoining Yesterdays record of four
deaths created some alarm, but when to-
day ND to noon there was no evidence that
the pace set yesterday was being kept up
the city breathed much easier. The record
today was as follows:

Among the cases of today is Edward
itoddy, the well known local railroad man
connected with the Illinois Central. lie
is the second man of that line that has
bcen stricken. r. +. Reynolds, freight
son of George Mckinley of the Metropoli-
tan Life was taken down this evening.
The father was stricken several days ago.
'The Mckinley case is in a house where
sickness has already existed.
TOday'S record was noteworthy from the
fact that the fever crossed the river, one
ease being reported from Algiers. AlgierS
has 1000 people, is the landing place for
the Southern Pacific steamers, the site of
the Southern Pacific shops and has main
tanned partial quarantine against New
Orleans from the beginning of the fever
here.
Dr. John Guiteras left his sleeper this
morning at an early hour and returned TO
the st. Charles hotel, which he had left
yesterday on his intended trip to Texas,
accompanying DR., Carter and DIR. Oil
plant. AS already described in the AS
sociated Press dispatches. the special train
was turned back at Rayne. La. 1t reach
cd New Orleans at this morning. DR..
Guiteras says he has never before been in
n territory where there was more fright
ened people than in certain rural sections
OF Louisiana. The special train. he said,
had gone about midway in Rayne when il
was stopped by an armed mob and the en-
gineer directed to return at once. The
train might have gone straight through
Rayne, but the people seemed to want it
TO return. The doctor said the party were
much disappointed because they could not
20 forward and consult with the health au-
thorities as far as Shreveport and meet
DIR. Swcaringen of Texas. However. he
Believed that some good has resulted from
dhc trip, because some twenty-five towns
and parish officials had been seen, and they |
had agreed to cooperate rs much ms lay
in their power with the New Orleans and
federal authorities in modifying the quar-
antine regulations against freight. DR..
aSuiteras said that it was his intention TO
proceed to Beaumont, Tex, when he left |
New Orleans yesterday, but even that was
impossible the Rayne people refusing TO
let him through. He says, however, that |
he has wired the department at Washing |
ton of his experience and of the state of |
terror existing in certain parishes OF |
louisiana and of the treatment of public |
officials. He is perfectly willing to try |
again to reach Texas. but he was rather of |
the opinion this morning that he would go |
10 st. Louis and proceed from that point |
10 Galveston.
DIR. Wolf completed, this morning. his |
inspection of the district in Carrollton |
which was said to be alive with yellow |
fever eases. He said he had found but |
Sne case after thorough inquiry.
A queer case developed today. A fed |
eral prisoner had jumped his bond and |
was caught in a town that has quarantined /
against New Orleans. The government is |
very anxious TO secure the prisoner, but |
some difficulty will be experienced by the |
marshal in getting into the town that is |
If he does not 90 the pris-
oner is liable to be released on habeas cor
gus. and he can not find any one in the |
tuwn that is quarantined who is willing to |
come to New Orleans and stay here for an |
indefinite time penned out from home by |
quarantine regulations.
Several additional INDECENT persons were
today to the detention camp,and a |
aRmbcr were released. Three sick people |
were taken to to the isolation hospital. Ar
