 New Orleans, Sept. 27-Warner wealth CT in the past two or three days has had the effect of increasing to some extent the new cases of the prevailing type of yellow fever, but it has also had the effect of sending down the death rate. There were twenty-two cases Satur- day, seventeen yesterday, ard up to 6:SO o'clock tonight, nineteen cases. But there were only three deaths on Satur- day, none on Sunday and two today. Present. experience, therefore, proves that wsrm weather adds to the number of cases but reduces the mortuary, while cold weather diminishes the num- Der of cases and eniarges the death rate. Physicians and the authorities tonight generally agree that the situation is steadily improving. They believe that the chances are growing more remote every day of am epidemic and that there is little likelihood that the disease, will assume before cold weather, a much more virulent form than at present.
 Prof. Metz, who is at the head of the work of sanitation and who superintends the Immigration of all houses, said ito the Associated Press reporter tonight: "Some little figuring that I have done disclouses the fact that there to half past six tonight exactly one hundred and fifty-eight cases. Of these nineteen have died, and I am able to state this evening that thirty-eight have been &C., tuaHy discharged as entirely recovered. Therefore there remains one hundred and one cases, and while I should not like to undertake a statement of those practically on the way to recovery, the death rate among them with the present conditions will be small. The death rate tonight is barely over 12 per centum." This is the record at nighHall: New cases, 22; deaths, 2.
 Of the cases reported this evening six were in the Home for Homeless Men, a private institution which takes care of people who have no friends. Three cases were also reported collectively to- day from Bayou Road, fin the Genin family. The cases, however, are con sidered mild.
 Of the two deaths the Crery case was reported several days ago, and the pa- tinet had received very careful treat ment, but his case was considered a very bad one. Hf
 Baichus was taken sick four days ago. His people are poor, and they did not attach much importance to his illness, only calling in a doctor a few hours be- fore his death when they saw the pa- tient rapidly sinking.
 Dr. John Guiteras, the Marine hos pital expert, arrived here today He does not care to see any patients in New Orleans who are suffering with yellow fever. He believes that the board of health here has taken the most effective means known to science to stamp out the disease, believes that the sickness is in good control and expresses the belief that it is of mild type. He does not believe that there is a particle Of reason for widespread alarm.
 Dr. GuJteras iIas quarantined himself at the St. Charles ho.el today to lay the foundation for heal.h certificate for a trip to Texas, that he has not been near the infected districts for ten days The quarantine regulations are moii- fled to inc extent of admitting goods under Marine Hospital rules
 James Williams, spoiIi1rg editor of the Times-Demociat, 1455 Camp street, is a new case tonight.
