lows New cases. 80; total cases to
date. 37S; deaths today II; total
deaths to date, 70; new sub-foci, 4; to-
tai sub-foci, "a.
The fever situation showed no ma
terial change during the day, and the
few new foci show that it is not spread
ing with the rapidity of former years.
OF the deaths four were in the emer-
gency hospital; four in the original
districts and three in the Charity hos
pital.
The controversy between the states
of Louisiana and Mississippi over the
invasion by Governor Vardman's quar-
antine mosquito fleet and armed
guards stationed at Pearl river is now
improved by the statement given out
by Governor Vardaman today in jack
son after his return from the coast
where he went to investigate the stu
alton
| Governor Blanchard has ordered Cap
tain Bostick of the naval brigade to
/ impress the fleet of patrol boats of the
( oyster commission into service and
arm them and patrol the waters now
| in possession of the Mississippi boats
! One of these oyster boats has already
| been dispatched to the Rigolets, the
! neck of water connecting Lake POnt-
/ chartrain with Lake BOrgne and late
/ tonight an order was made for launch
/ filled with rapid fire guns from the ma
/ val brigade armory and manned by Of
! fcers and crew from the brigade tC
| leave for the scene. Both Captain Bos-
/ tick and General PeriHat submitted
| reports as to the result of their in
/
to the scene today and they learned
enough to confirm the first reports ol
the invasion and the action Of the Mis-
sissippi patrol boats in closing Louisi-
ana waters to Louisiana fishermen.
! The Rigolets drawbridge on which
the L. and y. railroad cross
es, it is contended here. is five miles
! from the Mississippi line and distinctly
in Louisiana territory and it is added
does not even come under that terri
tory now in dispute before the suprem,
court of the United States. It wa!
found today that a man named Blunt
claiming to be in charge OF the Mis-
| sissippi patrol in these waters, hal
stationed himself on the bridge armed
| with two shotguns and forced tn
bridge keeper from opening the draw
/ to allow boats to pass out from Lak'

other complaints nIso have been re
J ceived.
There are eighteen boats now a
Ship Island which were captured b!
the patrol and towed by the revnu'
cutter WinOna to the Ship ISLAND
quarantine station. 1t is claimed tina
every one Of these vessels were takeI
/ in Louisiana waters.
Another complication has developed
in the same connection. The Britisl
ship Brayhead of the Head line. afte
completing her cargo in New Orleans
stopped at the Mississippi side of tn
Lake Borgne canal to get a deck lOaC
of lumber but the Mississippi boat
absolutely refused to allow a ting to g,
to the mouth of the Pearl river to ge
a barge and RATS. The Brayhead wa
obliged to leave without the cargo ant
the agents and owners will lay tn
matter before the British government
