No MOI. u ELLO.v FEVER
found la Neye Orleans Only the One
Suspicious Case Heretofore Reported

New Orleans, September 2.-The
board Of health announced tonight that
there was no case of yellow fever in
New Orleans beyond the suspicious
case reported on Euterpe street and
which is considered out of danger. To-
day a hOuse-to-house IVA which
will continue five days within a radius
of ten blocks from the two houses in
which the cases had been reported re-
vealed not a single case of illness that
was even remotely suspicious.
1t was decided today to wire the
health officers at Montgomery and
Mobile and DR.. Blunt, of Texas, invit-
ing them to an immediate conference
in this city and to an investigation of
the health conditions in New Orleans.
In the meanwhile freight and passen-
ger business to Alabama and Texas is
tied IN.
Mobile, Ala, September lowing to
the refusal of the Mississippi state
board of health to quarantine against
New Orleans, Mobile tonight declared
that all persons from Mississippi en-
tering here must nav a certificate that
they have not been in New Orleans
within ten days.
New Orleans, September 2.-The re-
port of one fatal case of yellow fever
in New Orleans has caused no excite
ment here and 40 hegira from the city,
but there is considerable vexation in
the business community Over the quar-
antine by the surrounding towns. For a
week at least it seems likely that
Texas and Alabama will be closed
against New Orleans freight, involving
a heavy loss in current business.
DR.. Sanders, of Mobile, is quoted as
saying there are two cases in this city.
One of these is the Adolph boy, who
died yesterday. The other is a suspi-
cious case, now convalescent and in nc
danger of death. The state board OF
health has been called in session to-
day to consider the situation. The
health authorities are confident that
they will be able to prevent the spread
of the disease.

Stopping Filipinos From
Getting Arms.
Far Reaching Effects Of Consul
General Goodnow's Decision In
Steamship Abbey Case.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE Hon.
John Goodnow. Consul General OF the
United States at Shanghai, has rem
dered decision as referee in the Con-
sular Court which will be of far-reach-
ing Importance during the continuance
of the war in the Philippines The case
was in relation to the steamer Abbey.
charged with taking arms from Canton
10 Luzon. 1t has been in contention
for some time. The owners of the yes
sci gave bond that the ship should land
the arms purchased at Singapore, but
she did not do SO. The bond was de-
manded by the Chinese authorities =
Mr., Goodnow holds that il must be
paid. The Importance of the decisio n
is pointed out by the Shanghai Mer-
curry, which says:
The effect of the decision of Mr..
GOodnOw reaches much beyond the
mere fact of being judgment for the
plaintiff with the penalty following and
the costs of the suit Hitherto the
American forces at Manila have had
to fight against FilipinOS we'll armed
with modern rifles and guns, and it is
no secret that the majority of these
arms have been landed in the Philip
pines from Chinese ports. When
United States consular officials have
received information that cargoes of
weapons were about TO be. shipped from
China, their urgent protests to the Chi
nese have been the means of stopping
shipments. But when the United
States officials, through want of knowl-
edge, have been ignorant of such con-
traband runs, the Chinese officials
have likewise been blind to these ship
ments, though, no doubt, well aware Of
such. It is in this respect that Mr..
Goodnow has scored such an important
point On the strength of that jtudg-
ment the officers of the Imperial Mari
time Customs of China must necessar-
lily do all in their power to stop ship
ments Of arms of suspicious destina-
tionS. It has been decided on the mo
ton OF the customs that China is liz
bic fog any shipments of arms which
set to the Philippines through lack OF
diligence or honesty on the part of the
customs Or the Chinese officials. There
fore, the judgment in the Drew VS.. Syl
@ester case will be the means of check
ing the chief source of supply of arms
and waTiike material that the FiIipi-
njs have possessed.
