Orleans in the slightest degree sus-
picious, and no fear OF any prevalence
of fever. The Southern Pacific Rail

by the Texas health officer that no pas.
sengers or baggage from New Orleans
would be allowed to enter Texas. No
other guarantees have been reported,
the other health boards keeping their
agreement not to quarantine on the
report OF case OF yellow lever OF until
the disease showed evidence of being
epidemic. The New Orleans Board OF
