YELLOW FEVER
Biz Cases 0moially Announced In
New Orleans.

New Orleans, Sept. 1s.-shortly be.
fore noon the board OF health officially
declared six Of the suspicious cases
Of fever on st. Claude street to be
yellow fever. A couple Of hours SUBJ
sequently the board announced another
pronounced case Of yellow fever at Miro
and Esplsnade streets, also in tho
lower part Of the city, but mile OF
more away from the infected square.
The announcement of the first six
eases OF yellow fever was not unexpect-
ed, although 1t was hoped from tho
delay on the part of the experts that
these cases were simply of bilious ma
laria. No general alarm has resulted
here. although the news rapidly spread
through the city. The authorities do
not believe that the situation is ma
terially worse than it was four or five
days ago, and they are still confident
of their ability, with modern sanitary
appliances. successfully to quarantine
the infected districts.

A DOZEN DEAD.
Result Of the Awful Wreck on the
Santa Fe Road.

Santa Fe Road.
Emporia, Kan, Sept. 10. - Twelve
known dead, one missing probably in
cinerated) and II injured, two of whom
will likely die, is the record of the ter
rlble head-end collision on the Santa
Fe. The first lists were mixed because
OF the confusion attending the wreck,
and all day names on the list of injured
have been transferred to that Of the
dead. Even now it is not positively
known that the list given Is complete,
asst Is believed that several were burned
to death. and nothing left by which
they could be recognized. The bodies
OF II have been found in the debris,
three burned beyond recognition. Will
liam Frisbee, of Topeka, engineer of
the eastbound fast mail, who was re-
ported among the injured, expired dur
Ing the day. Nothing could be found
OF the remains of Wells-Fargo Express
Messenger j. F. c. Sauer A handful of
charred bones taken from the wreck,
however, are supposed to be his. Near
them was found his watch.
Many deeds of heroisn1 were per-
formed in the brief space that seemed
like ages to the men who were strug-
Cling to save their fellows. Men whose
property was lost in the wreckage,
whose valuables were hidden in valises
that lay strewn over the ground or
waited to be fuel for the flames, fought
Tor mastery over the fire, carried water
when it could be obtained to unfortu-
mates with parched lips and bloody
gashes in their heads.
Trains over the Santa Fe will be run
by the way of Ottawa for few days.
The cost Of the wreck to the railway
is estimated at 100000.
A. d. Adams, who is among the in
jured, was on his way to Mexico from
New Jersey with registered bonds
amounting to 100000 and great deal
Of other vnluables. They were all
burned in the fire that followed.
Human ghouls delved in the wreck
age and plundered the mail sacks which
strewed the ground. One tried to
snatch a diamond from the breast of
an Emporia doctor, who, weak and
nervous, was creeping slowly out of the
debris. He had strength enough left
to hit the brute u blow in the face which
made him turn with curse and sneak
away. Mail sacks were dragged into
the corntiells and rihed. The report
Mt the Kansas City office is that prac-
tically all of the mail on both of the
wrecked Santa Fe trains was de-
stroyed. One pouch, however, for
Southern California on the west-bound
train No. is said to have been saved.
This train, when it arrived, carried q
large mail from New York city to Cali
