oDtined-The New Orleans People

Number of New Cases-Only One
DcntI,-ReDorts From other Parts
of the District.
New orleans, Sept. S0.-There was neith-
er Improvement nor aggravation of the
Yellow fever situation here to-day. Cases
we're numerously reported, and as early as
o'clock threatened to equal, if not ex-
ceed the number of last night, but at that
hour the death record was small. The
fever seems to be slowly spreading around
+ouvn but up to the present time no nest
of cases has been found, and the authori-
tics have thus far been able to carry on
their work of quarantine with some sue
cess.
Many of the cases within the past few
davs have been found in houses where
sickness already existed, but the instances
are extremely rare where the cases have
been transmitted from one house to an
other adjoining. Yesterdays record of
4onr deaths created some alarm, but when
to-day, up to night time, there was no
evidence that the pace set yesterday was
being kept up the city breathed much
easier. The record to-day was as follows:
Deaths: James Gray, 52S Esplanade;
Pierre Poublanc, Beauregard hospital.
Patrick Scapill.

Little is known of the Poublanc case or
from the detention camp.
James Gray, who died this morning, was
northerner and has not lived here long
enough to be acclimated. His wife is
said also to be i'll. To-days record was
noteworthy from the fact that the fever
crossed the river one case being reported
from Algiers. Algiers has 1900 popula-
ton, is the landing place of the South
ern Pacific steamers, the site of the
Southern Pacific shops and has maintain
ed a partial quarantine against New Or
leans since the beginning of the fever
here.
The man Scapill reported dead of yell
low fever tonight is the patient on Gaien-
ne street, who died last night, and as to
the cause of whose death there was much
doubt. He was buried to-day.
At $50 tonight a certificate of death of
yellow fever was furnished to the board
OF health.
Chief Sanitary Inspector Woods said to-
night that the situation generally was not
very bad, because only a few cases were
fatal results apprehended Most of the
