 nois Central. Mississippi Valley, Frisco and Louisville and Nashville lines.
 They show that all freight trains oper- ating south are being handled without detention and that all shipments are be- ing made from New Orleans usual The regulations prohibit in some in- stances and restrict in others the move ment of northbound shipments from here to local points, but the movement of southbound trains is perfectly free. It Is also made plain that all the steamship lines to Mexico, Havana, Vera Cruz, Great Britain and Europe are in operation and assurance Is given that they will con- tlnue their service absolutely without any interruption.
 Facts and figures have also been pre- scented to show that the reports printed elsewhere that there is demoralizaton of labor on the levee are also without foundation. None of the laboring popula- ton, outside of the Italians, who were principally employed on the fruit ships, have left the city.
 Guiteras Wars on Mosquitoes.
 Dr. Juan Guiteras has made a favorable impression here upon the audiences he has addressed and Dr. Warner and Dr. White have pressed him into service to speak as often as possible during his visit Dr. Guiteras spoke at two meet ings tonight. In describing conditions at Havana Dr. Guiteras said that since 1901 yellow fever patients arriving at Ha- vana have constantly been taken through the busiest streets in screened ambu- lances without single case of fever hav- ing developed in the city. In cases where the fever victims were accompanied by companions by husbands or wives, fath- CTS or mothers, these companions have been allowed to occupy the same room
 
 bad results. In one case where man re- mained with his wife until she died,so certain was it felt that the disease could not be transmitted oy any other means than the mosquito, that he was permitted to walk out Into the busiests streets of Havana within an hour after his wife s death Dr. Guiteras said his own daugh- ter. born in North Carolina and not an immune, often visited the yellow fever patients without harm to 'herself and that the daughter of the president of the re- public. also a non-immune, was likewise an earnest worker in the yellow fever work and had never been infected. pr. Guiteras said he thought the fight here, if 1t was kept up, was certain to be suc- cessful.
 No Prospect of Raising Quarantine.
 Adyices from the Mississippi coast do not at present indicate any intention on the part of the towns to raise the quar- antines against New Orleans, nor even to modify them. Pass Christian and Biloxi have both completely bottled themselves up, and all the rest have put the bars up against Mississippi City. As the tying up of the Gulf and Ship Island road makes it impossible for the towns to hold any communications with the rest Of the state, however, 1t is expected with con tinued improvement here an understand ing looking to modified communication will be reached. Meantime the advices rather indicate that the fever at Missis- sippl City Is of the same mild type as that generally prevailing in this city.
 Some apprehension Is felt among house. holders that they will suffer heavy per sonal loss through damage to silver ana brassware pianos, organs and other musi- cal instruments and clothing if they fol- low strictly the instructions concerning the proposed general fumigation or prem ses on Sunday. Sulphur burned in large quantities, 1t Is pointed out by correspond- ents writing to the newspapers, is caicu- lated to injure such articles. Drs. Wnite' Guiteras and Metz however, have given very explicit directions as to how house. I holders should protect themselves, ana IL 1 Is expected that there will be pr>tty gem eral response to the appeal.
