Little Encouraging in Yes
 terddy'S Fever List
NEW RECORDS WERE MADE
In New Cases and Deaths Previous Figures Were BlOtted Out. The Marine Hospital Service EnliSting the Confidence of the People.

New Orleans. Aug. 12.-The follow ing is the official yellow fever report up to D. m.: New cases, 1O5, total cases to date 913; deaths, g; total deaths to date, 142; new sub-fOci, 25; total sub fOci, 1SS; cases under treatment, $40.
 The figures today speak for them selves. It was a record day all around. The only features of the report that can be taken as encouraging is that very few of the eases are above Canal street.
 Assistant Surgeon Berry, who was stricken with the fever the night before last, is reported as doing we'll News from outside New Orleans contained nothing startling. Surgeon White has received instructions from Surgeon General Wyman not to allow any ban anas to be shipped out of New Orleans at any point.
 The exertions of the inspectors of the marine hospital service in conjunction with the voluntary reports of physi- clans produced another large aggrega- tiOn of the new cases, all classed as yellow fever today. The public how ever, having reconciled itself to the ex- pectation of heavy list for some days to come, was undismayed by the report Both lay and scientific opinion still considers the situation hopeful It is admitted that not all the cases em- braced in the daily total of the au- thOrities, are exactly yellow fever.
 Even at the emergency hospital, to which the worst cases go, numbers of
 them have been finally diagnosed as
 malaria or a form of typhoid. All sus- picious cases. whatever their nature. that are turned in by inspectors and doctors go at once into the yellow fever | . total, even if a careful diagnosis de- termines a case to be other than the prevailing fever.
 The marine hospital service has made so good an impression with the manner in which it is doing it's work of disinfection that confidence is being | invited and the false impression among the uneducated classes as to l the expense and risk of reporting , cases is being repaidly removed.
 Today affidavits were made against | a number of men of high standing in the community for failure to screen their cisterns. This is having a whole some effect on landlords who have i been delinquent.
 Rev. Dr. Beverley Ward has desig- mated the charity organization society 1 to receive and disburse money and supplies for the relief of the sick and poor people whose sufferings are due ! to the present visitation.
 l Orders have been received at the ! United States engineers office to pre- pare the government fleet for a cruise. 1 The vessels will be thoroughly disin- 1 fected and provided with healthy
 crews in order to escape trouble with
 the quarantines.
 One of todays victims of the fever
 was Carlo Schoal, an ex-Item reporter, i SchOal covered the down town beat
 in the infected quarter and had lived
 in the vicinity. His wife was stricken
 with the fever some time ago and he
 assisted in nursing her back to health. Later he was himself stricken. He came here from Ft. Wayne Indiana,
 some years ago, and was about thir- i ty years old.
