New Orleans, La, Oct. T.-While the
new cases did not run up rapidly here
to-day, the deaths were somewhat nu-
merous, comparatively speaking, having
reached FIVE as early as o'clock this
evening.
One Of the fatal cases presented the
same old story OF neglect and conceal
ment,
Dominica MicelPs case appears to-day
under both heads, new cases and deaths.
He had been i'll some time, but no report
of his sickness was made to the board,
and no doctor called in until it was too
late to do anything for the man. He was
an Italian, more of whom have succumb-
ed to the present fever in proportion to
cases than all of the other nationalities
put together.
The Gould case was reported four days
ago.
James Burns case was reported on the
9th, and he died this morning.
The case of Matthew Levy was of some
days standing

deaths to-day, was the bookkeeper of the
Metropolitan Bank. He came here but a
few years ago. leaves wife and six chill
dren in Germany, and was in good cir
cumstances. He was taken sick on Mon
day and died before noon to-day. The
bodies of these five people were promptly
buried.
There is a considerable sentiment against
continuing the quarantine system and the
result is that the board of health having
reduced the numbers of its guards, in
mates of houses are slipping out into the
street whenever they have a mind. It
is no longer considered possible, without
an expenditure of large sums of money
to maintain cordons around infected
houses strong enongh to prevent egress
and ingress. Whether or not the fact that
people are coming out of and going into
infected houses is having the effect of
spreading the fever, is a disputed question
among the authorities, but the belief Is
growing that the board will not seek much
longer to maintain the quarantine system
by which it has hoped to keep down the
fever.
Here Is the list of new cases and deaths
to-day:

100000 FACTORY FIRE.
One Man Perishes, and His Nephew
Badly Burned.

New York, Oct. IA 100000 fire in the
seven-story factory building at 279 and PSI
Spring street taxed the energies of the fire
department this afternoon and twenty en-
gines and large force of men were called
out. The basement, first and second floors
of the buildings were occupied by Fitz-
patrick & Co., manufacturers of mirrors,
plate glass, stained glass, coach and. car
riage windows and doors. The five @bper
floors were occupied by the Bradley-Cur-
rier Company manufacturers of doors,
sashes, frames and mantels.
The building was erected ten years ago
by the Trinity church corporation at a
cost of 100000. Nothing of it now re-
mains but the blackened walls and they
will have to be rebuilt
The stock of Fitzpatrick & Co. and the
Bradley Courier Company, all of which
was destroyed, was estimated to be worth
100000.

Ln Lucha Takes Whack at the
United States Government.
Havana, via Key West, Fla, Oct IT,
La Lucha, in its leading editorial yester-
day, attacked the sagasta cabinet, and
said; 1--WE are returning to the policy of
cheat and inconsistency"
Commenting upon cable dispatches from
New York city which assert that Consul
General Fitzhugh Lee will soon come to
Cuba with a special mission to obtain the
views Of the Insurgents regarding auton-
omy and to put q stsp to the enlistment
of expeditions in case the insurgents
should not accept autonomy La Lucha
says: "These reports are not creditable,
as Mr. Cleveland and President McKin-
ley have both explained that under the
American constitution and laws the expe-
ditions cannot be stopped Therefore, if 1t
be true that President Mckinley can stop
expeditions by applying laws which have
not been applied up to date, the RESPONSE
bility of the Cleveland and the Mckinley
administrations would be great and their
bad faith manifest. If the Spanish minis
ter at Washington could have
found in the American constitu-
ton and laws provisions to check
the enlistment of expeditions he would
have demanded their application. There
fore, the policy of the American Presi-
dent, as soon as he ascertains the feel
ings of the insurgents in the matter should
be ignored by us. Besides, should it be
true that Gen. Lee is coming with the
special mission, it would signify Spain's S
impotence, inasmuch as in affairs of her
own she admits the Intervention Of a for
eign consul whose opinion is well known
to be more favorable to the insurgents
than TO the Spaniards We neither deny
nor affirm that Consul General Lee has
such a special mission, for we belong to
the class that believes everything possi-
BILE nowadays.
1T would be due 10 the perturbed state
of Madrid politicians and because they
are considering the Cuban question as a
mercantile affair. After we know Consul
General Lees mission, we shall also know
whether flibustering expeditions could
have been prevented or not by the Amer
lean government"

interest for the reason that Mr.. Graydon

rived here on the night of the 18th inst,
before Flomaton was known to be an in

and a majority Of the city board wanted
to make a clear, unequivocal declaration
as to all cases.
AS to the Graydon case, his physician
pronounces 1t, in an interview in, the Ad-
vertiser tomorrow morning, as case Of
malarial fever without any trace or sus-
plclon OF yellow fever. The physician Of
Mr. Street has expressed his belief that
he has yellow fever. but DR.. Sanders
opinion is to the contrary.
The twelve cases given complete clear
ance by the board of health have been
talked of for some days, while the two
