YELLOW FEVER.


New Orleans. Sept. 12.-Shortly be-
fore moor today the board Of health Off
cially declared six OF the suspicious
cases OF fever on St. Claude street to be
yellow fever. A coupe OF hours subse-
quently the board announced another
pronounced case of yellow fever at Miro
and Esplanade streets, also in the lower
part OF the city, but a mile or more away
from the infected square. The announce
ment OF the first six cases OF yellow
fever was not unexpected. although it
was hoped from the delay on the part
OF the experts that these cases were sim
ply of bilious malaria. No general alarm
has resulted here. although the news
rapidly spread through the city. The
authorities do moi believe that the sit
uation is materially worse than it was
four or five days ago, and they are still
confident OF their ability. with modern
sanitary appliances. successfully to
quarantine the infected districts.
The official bulletin of the board Of
experts declaring the St. Claude street
cases to be yellow fever was received by
President Olliphant soon after II
o'clock. DR.. O%lliphant Immediately sent
for members OF the press and gave out
the report which was signed by Drs. Lee
Monnier. Touatre. Bickham, Petit and
Parham OF the board OF experts and DR..
Devron. the attending physician. The
report was as follows:
