New Orleans, Oct. 14.-It was the
same old story here today. The yellow
fever situation showed no decline in the
number of cases reported. The death
column was about normal. What was
said in this report last night was borne
out by today's figures. There has been
no increase in the malignancy of the
disease. Yesterdays record of nine
deaths was simply exceptional. 1t was
Z o'clock tonight before a third as many
deaths were reported today as had been
in the previous twenty-four hours. The
existing conditions are not favorable for
the quick stamping out of the disease.
The weather was warm and sutry today,
unusual for this season, and if it keeps
up there will be little Improvement for
the time being.
This was the record of the day:

The board of health official report:
Cases of yellow fever today, 81; deaths
today, 4; total cases yellow fever to date,
1906 total deaths from yell low fever ,aa ,o to
date, 81; total cases absolutely recover
ed. 33t: total cases under treatment, 3l4.
Prof. Metz said that this evening up
to dark there had been 719 cases alto.
gether of yellow fever and 423 foci of
infection. Since the beginning of the
sickness. 163 foc have been absolutely
wiped out, and there remained this even
ing but 260 with approximately 100
cases under treatment. The figures, the
doctor said were gratifying owing. to the
fact that they showed that good work
had been done through the sanitary
methods and in disinfecting places that if
left alone might have helped to breed
the epidemic.
As reported in previous dispatches;
residents in the vicinity have protested
against the reception by Touri intirmary
of patients suffering from yellow fever.
Rabbi Levitch and DR.. Loeber, however,
contend that there is no danger in re-
ceiving the patients in the hospital and
they will continue to do so. During the
month 30 cases have been treated in the
hospital, five have died. have been dis
charged and 90 are still being cared for.
Yet not single case of the fever has
originated in the institution and the sys-
TEN of isolation and disinfection is so
perfect that the disease has been con-
fined to IL single quarter of the buildings
devoted for the handling of cases of yell
low fever. Sixteen of the cases have
been treated by the hospital free of
charge,
