day for yellow fever consisted of ~forty.six new
cases and five deaths. This makes a total Of
forty-three deaths here. with a total of 425 cases
70 date, and 134 recoveries. The situation is
daily becoming more serious. particularly as the
large pay roll Of officials is mounting higher
every day.
There is now o quarantine guard force Of more
chan 600 men guarding $50 infected localities,
and the cost is alb ut $50. 900 q month for this
work alone. Should the fever continue to
tho day before, it is believed that the ,hnances Of
the health authorities cannot stand the strain
system Of quarantining each and every house.

d~ications do not warrant looking for a frost be-
Sidden from the eye Of the Health Board in
every part Of the city. and the public feeling
egatnst that body is fast becoming keener and
keener.
Present indications warrant the assumption
that there will be a demand on the part
Of the public for the designations Of every ono
Of the Board of Health members. The minds Of
tho people have been infamed by the alleged
neglect of the health authorities to keep
the fever out Of the city by tho immense
loss which the city has STRAINED. and by the
reports Of indecent haste with which fever
corpses are hurried to their graves. 1t requires
only q match TO set the people In motion, and
threats Of personal violence have been made
openly on the streets. This sentiment 10 grow
Ing as the fever records mount higher.
Biloxi. Miss, reports Ave new cases and one
death tonight, a total Of ten deaths TO date.
-Four OF the physicians of the town are down
with the fever. among them being DIR. Harolson,
executive officer Of the board.
Mobile shows four new cases, but no deaths,
ana Edwards sixteen new cases and ono death, O
total Of sixteen to date.
,Surgeon.General Wyman has authorized tho
placing Of a fumigating plant outside the city
on the Illinois Central road, and another at
HurriGane. Ala. twenty.three miles east Of Mo-
plie. This action was taken because Alabama,
Mississippi, and places in Texas have refused to
receive any mails. even though they were fumi-
gated In tho CITY,, and the department was
forced TO fumigate the mails outside the city.
Everybody in the fever infected districts of
Mlssissippi. Alabama, and Texas is interested
IN Dr. Guiteras and his Investigation of Gal
weston, and every town and hamlet is itching to
get a chance to declare quarantine against that
town on the score OF reprisals.
