FEW GASES OF YELLOW FEVER.

New Orleans, However, Has Adopted
Vigorous Measures to Prevent Inn
portations From the Coast Towns.
DR.. Guitcras' Report.
New Orleans. Sept. 1o.-There Is no
change In the fever situation. Two or
three suspicious cases were reported
yesterday to the board of health, q ma
terial falling of from Wednesday.
when there were 81. These were in
vestigated, with the usual result.
DR.. Oliphant and his corps now re-
alize that they have but one battle
that Of preventing any more importa-
lions from the coast towns. Biloxi and
Ocean Springs. DR.. Guiteras and the
other government experts have de-
clared that yellow fever existed at
Ocean Springs and Biloxi. While the
decision Of DR.. Guiteras has set at rest
all doubt here that yellow fever exists
at Ocean Springs the people there find
some consolation In the fact that pc
culiar conditions surround the death
of Sheray Seymour, who was officially
declared yesterday to have succumbed
to yellow fever He was In bad health
before he was stricken, and unneces-
sarily exposed himself.
In DR.. Guiteras' opinion the prevail
ing fever is not yellow fever, but there
are isolated cases Of that dread dis
ease. Last evening DR.. Guiteras pro-
nounced the case Of Ernst Beanges,
now sick, as yellow fever.
Late last evening the three cases
heretofore reported as existing at
Biloxi were confirmed as yellow fever
by Drs. Murray and Cant, after a care
full investigation. They are thoroughly
isolated.
The sensational report given out that
there were seven additional cases yes
terday In Biloxi is pronounced to be
without foundation. A late dispatch
brings the Information that lad by
the name of Theo. Sanchez, In Biloxi,
shows decided case Of yellow fever.
No communication is allowed with the
inmates Of the house.
DR.. Salamanson and DR.. Kelley yes
terday examined nine cases of fever
at Moss Point. They declared that
there is no case Of yellow fever In that
town, nor even a suspicious case.
DR.. Seeley, who has been nursing pa
tients at Ocean Springs. has been
stricken with yellow fever at his home
at Perkinton. Miss. The case has been
officially confirmed. and DR.. H. s. Gull
ley, of Meridian, state health officer,
has gone to Perkinton to take charge
of the town and establish quarantine.

teras, the yellow fever expert, tele-
sraphed to Surgeon General Wyman as
follows from Ocean Springs, Miss:
"Of three suspicious cases reported to
me. one confirms yellow fever by au-
topsy, another by subsequent course,
and the third case is not yellow fever.
Today l have diagnosed another case
of yellow fever. We have, then, two

cation has not been definitely determine
ed, the surgeon general having under
consideration a place recommended by
DR.. Murray. Passed Assistant Surgeon

Expert Evidence in Lnetgert's Trial

Expert Evidence in Lnetgert's Trial.
Chicago, Sept. 10.-Both the morning
and afternoon sessions of the court In
the trial Of Adolph L. Luetgert were
consumed in the taking of expert testi-
mony. Thoroubh chemical analysis the
state must establish not only the pos
sibility Of human body being dis
solved by the action of caustic potash
heated to the boiling point. but also
the fact that the bits of bone, hair and
flesh and the scrapings Of pinkish
brown material from the vat in the
sausage factory are portions of the
body of a human being If they can
demonstrate these two propositions be-
yond reasonable doubt one of the
most important points of their case
will be accomplished. Professor Mark
Delafontaine, one of the experts, said
that the bits of flesh might be human,
but they might also be the flesh of an
animal. The bones, he was sure, were
human bones
