Cases in Infected districts,
New Orleans, La, Sept 30.-There
was neither improvement nor aggraya-
ton OF the yellow fever situation here
today. Cases were numerously report
ed and as early as 6 o'clock threatened
to equal, if not exceed, the number of
| last night, but at that hour the death
record was small. The fever seems to be
slowly spreading around town, but up
| to the present time no nest of cases has
been found and the authorities have
| thus far been able to carry on their
work of quarantine with some success.
| Many of the cases within the past few
| days have been found in houses where
/! sickness already existed, but the I'M
| stances are extremely rare where the
| cases have been transmitted from one
house to another adjoining. Yesterday S
| record of four deaths created some
alarm, but when today, 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 Scahill, 436 Canine street.
| New cases: Edward Roddy, 1900

Little is known Of the history OF
| Poublanc's case or his life. He was
taken 10 the hospital from the detention
camp.
James Gray, who died this morning,
was Northerner. and has not lived
here long enough To be acclimat I'd His
wife is said also TO be ILL.,
Today's record was noteworthy from
the fact that the fever crossed the river,
one case being reported from Algiers
Algiers has $4,000 population, and is
the landing place of the Southern Pacific
steamers, the site Of the Southern Pa
cific shops and has maintained partial
quarantine against New Orleans from
the beginning of the fever here
Chief Sanitary Inspector Woods said
tonight that the situation generally was
not very bad because only in a few
cases were fatal results apprehended
Most of the patients in the city are
doing well Half dozen were discharged
| today
The man Scahill reported dead from
yellow fever tonight is the patient on
Gaienne street, who died last night, and
as to the cause Of whose death there was
much doubt. He was buried today and
ut 6:30 O'Clock tonight, certificate OF
death from yellow fever was furnished
to the Board OF Health.
