in the malignancy of the disease Yester-
days record of nine deaths was exceptional.
1t was o'clock tonight before a third as
many deaths were reported to-day as had
been in the previous twenty-four hours. The

Professor Metz said, this evening" that up
to date there had been 719 cases altogether
of yellow fever here and 423 foci of infec-
ton Since the beginning of the sickness 1853

approximately 315 cases under treatment.

that good work had been done through san
itary methods in removing places that, if
left alone, might have helped to breed an
epidemic.
AS reported in previous dispatches resi-
dents of the vicinity have protested against
reception by Touri Infirmary of persons suf-
Dr. Loeber, however, contend there is no
danger in receiving the patients in the hos
pital and that they will continue to do So.
During q month twenty-nine cases have
been treated in the hospital Five have died,
four have been discharged and twenty are
still being cared for. Yet not single case
tion and the system of isolation and disin-
fection is so perfect that the disease has
been confined to a single quarter of the
buildings devoted, for the time being, to
handling cases of yellow fever. Sixteen of
the cases have been treated by the hospi-
tai free of any charge.
The Knights of Honor here have organ
lied a relief committee and notified the
grand jurisdictions throughout the country
that they are prepared to look after any
members of the order that may be sojourn-
ing in this city, pending the prevailing
fever and see that fraternal care and atten-
ton be accorded such members who may
become afflicted.
