Yellow Fever on Decrease
In New Orleans Proper

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 2-Thirty-
seven new cases OF yellow fever were
reported here for the twenty-four hours
ending at o'clock tonight
During that time only three deaths
occurred. and the disease appeared in
ten different localities for the first time
The number OF new cases and foci
show that. in the opinion of the health
authorities. the disease is apparently on
the decrease. They say 1t will be eradi-
caused by the importatioIi % fresh cases
from the country.
Bad food and Accommodations at the

Cable From japan.
Cable communication with Japan by
the Shanghai Formosa route was re-
opened today and the Japanese ENJOYS
this morning received a lengthy cable
gram from their government which, 1t
is understood. was perfectly satisfactory.
although no official announcement has
yet been made to that effect.
IL everything goes well. it is now
probable that The Russian ENJOYS may
get away early Tuesday. 1t may be
that they will leave here before the
japanese, but no decision has yet been
reached. Adviccs from Oyster Bay may
determine this matter.

The spectacle of the plenipotentaries of

President on different days. will be
somewhat anomalous. and the posi-
bility of such a thing occurring Is al
ready creating comment. Although ut
most harmony has recently prevailed
between the members of the two suites.
an impression exists that the corGiality
is much en- the surface. and that bitter
feelings are ranking behind the calm
exterior demeanors of the members of
the two missions.
Their failure to leave Portsmouth in
company with each other would. no
doubt. greatly strengthen this belief. On
the other hand, IT is thought that it is
the Presidents intention to entertain not
only the ENJOYS but the members of
their suites. Yet. the accommodations
at Sycamore Hill are total yinadequate
for serving a luncheon to SO large a
party. consisting of some sixty person
ages, as it would If both missions were
to be received at once.
