IT'S YELLOW JACK.
Beyond Doubt the Fever Is
Raging on the Gulf.
Every Precaution Being Taken to Pre-
vent Spread Of Disease.
4 Strict Quarantine Established People Vain.
y Try to Escape Il.

/ New Orleans, Sept. lit was con-
siderably after midnight, this morning,
when the board of health Office was
closed for few hours and the tired
physicians went home to snatch few
hours sleep. Up to that time. although
the widest publicity had been given to
the Gelpi case and the desire of the
board was known that every suspicious
case SHOULD be promptly reported, no
news was received at the Office to lead
to the belief that there existed a single
case of yellow fever in New Orleans.
The Office was re-opened, early this
morning. but up to 8 O'Clock no report
was made Of any suspicious cases.
The board will hold another meeting,
today, to act on quarantine regulations
and there will be informal conferences
daily while the scare lasts. 1t is under
stood that at the meeting, today, there
will be some notifications of the rules
adopted. yesterday, quarantining the
entire coast and steps will be taken to
allow residents of New Orleans. who
are sOjourning at unaffected ports, to
return to the city after having been
properly examined and furnished with
certificates that they have not been
in proximity to any case of yellow
fever.
DR.. H. A. Cant of Water Valley, a
member of the state board of health,
has taken charge of the situation at
Ocean Springs and will spare neither
pains nor money in an effort to stamp
out the prevailing fever. He is of the
opinion that with care and good man
agement this can be done in a very few
days.
All the houses where fever has been
or may be, will be thoroughly looked
after and the sick will be isolated. To-
day the board has put out disinfectants
in all the principal streets and the town
will be strewn with lye from one end to
the other.
The excitement has died down con-
siderably and the people. now that the
first scare is over, see that things are
no worse than they have been all,
along; and, in fact, are better, as therel
has been no new cases reported in the
past "a hours and there are but three
so-called suspicious cases among the
fever patients in the town. The other,
cases are all doing well.
The Louisiana board of health has a
record of all people who have come
from Ocean Springs in the last few
days and is giving strict attention to
each.

EVERY POSSIBLE PREcAvnoM
Being Taken to Prevent the Spread Of the
Supposed Yellow Fever.

Washington, Sept. THE treasury
department has procured 200 tents from
the war department for use at the
permanent yellow fever detention camp
which has been established at Waynes-
vile, Ga. There are no fever patients
there, but the camp has been estab-
lished at a precautionary measure.
The officials at the surgeon generals
office. are quite anxious that DR.. Gui-
teras should be on the ground as soon
as possible, as they think so much of
his opinion in yellow fever cases as to
be guided entirely by it in their action.
So far their advices are confirmatory of
the press reports that the epidemic is
of the nature of yellow fever. Still, it
is evident that even yet they are not
entirely convinced of the correctness of
the reports as received, and there is APP
parently strong inclination to doubt
their accuracy. They say that if the
disease is yellow fever. it is very strange
that out of 600 cases there should have
been only IL deaths.
This afternoon, the marine hospital
received two kilograms from DR.. Was
din at Mobile. which had been delayed
in transmission. One reported that
President Olliphant of the Louisiana
state board of health, reported another
death from yellow fever in New orleans
and three new cases. The other tele-,
gram said that two new cases were
in New Orleans.
Surgeon hurry, who has been station
ed at Mobile but who has been on leave,
has been ordered to return at once and
will take charge, tomorrow. Surgeon
H. r. Carter of Chicago, an expert who
mad charge Of the outbreak at Bruns-
wick, Ca, a few years ago, and Surgeon
Oakley of Savannah, have also been
ordered to Mobile. AS the state au-
thorities have yet made no appeal for
assistance, the marine hospital service
must confine it's work to preventing the
from being carried from one
state to the other. Cordons and deten-
ton camps will be established at Ocean
Springs and New Orleans.
The theory of DIR. Bailbacher. the act
Ing surgeon general. is that the origi-
nal disease at Ocean Springs was dem
que, and that the case of yellow fever
was imported and superimposed upon
the patients suffering from the other
ailment.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. la telephone
message from DR.. McCallum at Ed
wards. Miss, emphatically denies the

son family were suffering from Dengue
fever and that they are now recovered.
DIR. McCallum says that Hon. Sid
who died at Edwards, Sum-
day evening. was suffering from mala-
rial fever.

Our Fighting Ability.

it is sincerely to be hoped that the United
States will never be plunged into another
war; intcrnccinc or International.
But, in these time. of strife in other lands,
1t is but natural that the fighting strength
of this country should be estimated and com
pared with that of other nations T"e oncs-
ton may be askel, therefore, what chan G
would the United States have in hostile
contest with one Of the great European
Powers, with coalition Of two or three Of
them, or with all combined?
AT the present time Uncle Sam has a
standing army Of $1,000 men, well equipped
and ready for action, and his navy number
70 ships, on which serve 10000 men. Ia
addition, the several States have organized
militia forces amounting to 10000 men,
uniformed and armed, and partially drilled
for service b sides, the states have an
available reserve force of 100000 m"n,
VIII ch could be drawn upon III case Of cmcr-
gency. In short, the United States could
quickly throw an army of 100000 strong
into the field in defense Of the nation, if
called upon to do so, and the fighting quail.
ties of the American volunteer soldiers are
too well known to call for ANY comment.
Including reserves, France has military
strength estimated at 2,35O,0C0 men, and q
navy of 4Gl ships. Germany could raise an
army 5000 600 strong, and she has 800 war
Ships while Russia has an army and military
reserves amounting 70 100000 men, and q
navy of 100 vessels
Great Blitain's fighting strength, except
as she depends upon TIE colonies, is COM
paraiycly snail, but upon the sea she is in.
vincibc, and, by virtue of II policy long pnr.
sued, England has literally seized and t"ril'
fled the strategic points of the world.
But the position Of the United States is
particularly fortunate for defense from every
Power but Great Britain. Through Canada
rs base of supplies, England could wage a
very destructive war in America, But, if
she attacked alone, the United States would
be more than a match for her, having per-
iect rallrpad communication from one point
to another and having almost incXhaustibc
resources from which to draw
1t is safe to infer. therefore, that our coun'
try could meet France and Russia cumbincd
or Germany and Russia, without fear OF con
sequences, and we could successfully resist
Great 81 itan alone.
But in case Of war, probably there would
I've stronger coaation formed, and il is plain
enough to see that, if the whole European
horde should drive our commerce tom the
sea, and then seek to whip us at home, the
American people might have trouble III dc
