NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.-Even as early
as o'clock this evening the day had proved
record breaker, both as to the number of
yelow-fever cases and as to the number of
deaths that had been reported The increase
of cases to-day was not unexpected The
weather was warm during the afternoon
The large territory the Board of Health has
to cover makes perfect scrutiny impossible
and germs are being distributed which, if
the totality Of cases was fewer, would easily
be restrained. While the number of cases
under treatment to-day are in the neighbor-
hood of 250 there are many houses which
have not yet been disinfected but in which
the patients have been declared well. Less
restraint than usual is imposed on the in
mates of such premises, and the result has
been that the number of foci has been in
creased. But the total death rate is still
small in proportion to the number of cases.
This was the record to-day:
