NEW ORLEANS, sept. zl.-Ine OIL
cial record in the board of health office
tonight at o'clock showed a total Of
twelve new cases since yesterday even
ing, and two deaths. The new cases
are, for the most part, widely scattered
and several of them at least do not
seem to have been the outcome of To-
cal infection. It is apparent that the
microbes brought over in baggage from
Biloxi and Ocean Springs are .still in
cubating, and that many more cases
of fever are to be looked for. The Sys-
tenn of quarantine and sanitation in
vogue here is unquestionably showing
good results, and whatever spread
there is of the sickness is confined to
houses in Which yellow fever already
exists or in premises Immediately ad-
joining.
The record for the day is: Deaths,
DR.. Joseph Lowell, aged twenty-seven
years, of 7717 st. Charles avenue; Miss
Elizabeth Nussbaum, aged seventeen
years, of 130 Gales street.

ings 1912 Maras; Mrs. Warde, 1925 Jo
sephine; Mrs. Chalmars, 526 Bellecastle
street; Waldo Pitkin. 1880 Esplanade.
DR.. LoVell'S death has been expected
for four days. He contracted the dis
ease while attending number of pa
tents who were suffering with the
Ocean Springs fever. He overworked
himself, and when stricken his consti-
tuition had been so much shattered that
the chances were against his recovery.
Members Of the board of health this
afternoon made visit to the camp of
detention at Oakland Park. They
found everything in excellent condition
and the refugees comfortably situated.
This morning wagonettes went down
to the Italian quarters and hauled out
to the camp a large number of people.
AT first the Italians, many of whom are
unable to speak English were decid-
edly mutinous and declined to enter
the vehicles, but the Italian consul and
number of policemen soon convinced
them that it was to their interests to
go to the camp of detention and they
finally yielded. 1t is expected tomor-
row night there will be couple of
hundred refugees in camp. Strict mil
itary discipline will rule the camp and
there will be guards stationed at all
avenues of approach and exit. At 6
o'clock tonight the physicians in charge
Of the camp announced that all the re-
fugeeS in camp were we'll.
