Cases and One Death at Mobile.
New Orleans, oct. 2.-Up to noon the
board of health had reported one less
than dozen cases. One death occurred
Friday morning. Among the new cases
is Rev Beverly Warner Of Trinity Epis-
copal church, an eastern man, who
came here TO be with his former con-
gregation. Eight people have been dis
charged from the detention camp and

say that figuring on the situation in
1878, and the progress Of the disease at
this time, there is not the remotest pos
sibility Of an epidemic.
Numerous Cases Reported.
Cases are being numerously reported,
now that the people believe there is yell
low fever here, and even If the case is
only suspicious the board of health
makes a record of it, The board comes
in for some criticism for it's failure to
report deaths promptly. The officials
say, however, that their staff is smaller
than it ought TO be; that many Of the
men they employ are inefficient because
they are picked up at random and some
times prove to be incapable, and that
il is not possible completely TO patrol
the wide territory Of q city like this,
where everybody is doing his best TO
evade the quarantine. There is undis-
guised feeling against the board of
health because it is quarantining peo-
pie, but the board by experience has
shown that Il Is not far from bsinG
right i'm taking all precaution. The
trouble is, however. that number Of
local physicians are Withholding dag
nosiS of cases. not believing the prevail
ing fever is yellow jack. They justify
their apparent negligence by the fact
that the deaths are few and the cases
not increasing.
