New Orleans, La. Sept. % The
fever situation has not materially Inn
proved during the day, unless the fact
that the fever atlll continues to be
mild. and that no deaths have been re-
ported In the past twenty-four hours
may be taken az favorable indica-
ton. Eleven new cases were reported
up to ten o'clock lr-' tight; none OF

foci OF Infection, The reports 80 far
received from other infected sections

though Mobile reports but single

-Four new cases developed In Biloxi,
two or three In Ocean Springs. several
In Scranton. and thirteen In Edwards,

OF the people OF this city yesterday.
because Of the drop In the temperature
nnd the fact that but two new cases
had been reported up 20 oclok. The
remaining nine we're reported last

Mobile. Ala, Sept. 22.- Another day
Of favorable reports There was one
new case Monday night. and there was
another case yesterday morning.
child named Willie Goodloe. living In
the house with Mrs wooten. an earlier
patient. at the corner OF Canal and
Conception streets, In the Infected dis
trict. One case was discharged, leay-
Ing under treatment twenty -elght. all
Of whom are progressing fayorably.
There have been but three deaths. and
none since saturday. The old physl-
clans are beginRlng to shake their
heads and declare that this Is the most
curious manifestation of yellow Ssyer
ever seen IN the South. So many OF
the reported eases have failed 90 fur
ther deylop their yellow fever charac-
teristlcs that not a few OF the doctors
seem disposed TO doubt the correctness
OF the diagnosis. and one OF the most
experienced OF ,he doctors has been
heard TO say that he would not report
any more eases as suspicious. He
would wait until the symptoms be-
came unmistakable. II Is noticeable
that so soon AZ the board refused 20
accept the ipse dlxit Of the younger
doctors. and set the committee OF the
board 20 investigating the reported
eases the number Of new eases fell on.
and from twenty-five IN two days the
number has dropped 20 three In the
same length Of time. and this when.
by oil accounts, the fever should be ia
ereasiag Ia intensity Certainly Il
seems TO be that there Is a great deal
Of the mild type Of the fever mixed
with very few cases OF real yellow
fever.
