charged its first patient as cured.
The marine hospital corps ran up

tion of Major James X. Vardaman
governor of Mississippi, whose severe
criticisms of the New Orleans healtl
authorities threatens to involve hin
in a personal controversy with Gov

tion Guard, to mobilize the state troop
on the Louisiana lines as quarantin,
guards. Eleven men under command

armed soldiers on the Louisiana boun
dairy will prompt bitter feeling agains
Gov. Vardaman and the state of Mis-
sissippi, which has refused to allo,
passengers and baggage communica
tion from New Orleans. The troops ar
doing quarantine duty on the east ban
of Pearl river, with instructions to en-
force the usual shotgun rules. Adj

said tonight that the whole of the stat
militia would be camped on the boun
dary line II the present quota of troop
was found insufficient to keep refugee

next week the negroes of the city wi
be cooperating with the white peopl
in cleaning the city and exterminatin
disease breeding mosquitoes. An ei
fort was made today to enlist the in
fiuential negroes of the city in thi
work, and through them to reach a
