towards REPORTS IL NEW CASES

New Orleans, Oct. 4.-For twenty-four
hours closing at nightfall there had not
been single death recorded in the of
nee of the board of health. Yesterday
there had been thirty-one new cases re-
ported, and at Z o'clock tonight TWEEN
ty-two were reported since o'clock
last night. Yesterday there were near
ly 200 premises under surveillance in
which yellow fever has been declared to
exist, and in some of the houses there
vere four or five cases, yet not single
one had proved fatal in twentyfour
hours. The result was that tonight the
death rate had fallen to Il trifling eX-
cess over 10 1-2 per cent and the pros
poets for an early stamping out of the
disease had been considerably bright
ened.
The recent increased number of cases
reported daily is due to several acts
Physicians in charge of hospitals are
allowed to report cases without having
experts to view them. Physicians that
nave in the last three weeks had yell
low fever cases in their practice are
given TO understand that their dag
nosis Will be accepted without question
The report of any expert in whose prac-
tice case has developed is accepted
In other words. there is no longer de-
tailed consideration of suspicious cases
%)nly where a doctor has never hereto
lore seen case of actual yellow fever
are the services of experts called into
question. The experts are all eminent
physicians with large practices, and the
health authorities have decided not to
encroach too far upon the time and
practice of these men of science. The
rturther fact that frank admission is
'mnde that yellow fever exists has
forced the majority of physicians to re-
port Immediately all cases whether their
type Toe mild or severe. In consequence
cases are being reported rapidly, but
there is no indication that the sickness
will assume an epidemic form. All fear
of that has disappeared, and people
who have their families at other points
are beginning to make arrangements to
bring them back.
The record of the day was as follows:

OF horses and cattle pasturing on the

many valuable residences are located
a timely change of the wind averted
