tors believe that the work of the Board of
Health is productive of good results, and
that the fever is not spreading, but, on the
contrary is being confined to localities.
Thus far there have been a few less than
one hundred cases and fifteen deaths. The
death rate is in the neighborhood of Is per
cent. 1t was in 1878 is per cent, so that up
to the present time the disease is about as
virulent as it was in the last great epidemic
New Orleans has had. This was the record
to-day:

OF the new cases, that in the Wood family
was developed where two cases already ex-
listed. The case of Miss Mccall is on one
of the most prominent avenues of the city.
No previous case has appeared on the
street OF the ninety odd cases in New
Orleans from the beginning but four have
been among the negro population. There
are still several serious cases among those
who are i'll, but the Board of Health is
daily discharging patients as cured.
The Board of Health of the State of
Louisiana tonight officially announced the
following status of affairs in New Orleans
as regards the yellow fever: During the
twenty-four hours ending Friday, Sept. "a,
at p. M, there were: Total cases of yell
low. fever, 10; total deaths. A; total cases
of yellow fever to date. So; total deaths
from yellow fever to date, 15"
One of the sensations of the day was the
announcement that the Board of Health
had decided to prosecute Dr. Monluzin for
having failed to report case OF suspicious
fever. In one of the morning papers a few
days ago DR.. Monluzin was quoted as say
ing that there was little if any fever in
New Orleans, and that the prevailing sick
ness was Burmah, or sun fever, which he
quite likely to be attended with about the
mortality of yellow fever. This morning
DIR. Monluzin reported to the Board of
Health the case of Miss Dreyfous, who, he
said, was suffering with yellow fever. 1t
was not long before this report was received
that the board had to report the death of
Miss Dreyfous. An investigation proved
that Miss Dreyfous had taken sick about
six days ago, and that DIR. Monluzin had
failed even to report the case as suspicious.
The situation here is generally unchanged.
Freight is moving slowly and there is prac-
tically no passenger traffic The theaters
are still open, and amusements are not re-
strained. But that New Orleans is losing
hundreds Of thousands of dollars by foolish
quarantine is not to be doubted. The or
dering by the Southern Pacific Company of
the steamer El Norte, from New York for
Galveston, means that all Eastern freights
destined for the Pacific coast will go
through the Texas port until the quarantine
embargo against this city is raised.
AT Ocean Springs there are eleven old
cases of fever under treatment and one new
case reported to-day. No deaths.
Scranton, Miss, reports three new cases,
with no deaths ther or in East PaScagoula.
At Biloxi Miss, Mayor H. L. Howard was
taken down to-day with the fever. He is
overworked, having devoted his energies to
fighting the fever. Acting Mayor SWetman
is also sick. The reports from the sick are
all favorable. The Board of Health there
reports: Yellow fever cases to date, sew
enty-hve; under treatment, forty-two; total
deaths to date, four; new cases to-day, hf-
