NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 1.-The announce
mont Of case Of yellow fever In Morgan
City La, on tho line Of the Southern Paoado
Railroad between Now Orleans and Hous-
ton, stirred up another batch Of quarantines
to-day and resulted In Texas again putting
on It's prohibition against the entire State
Of Louisiana. The quarantine was estab-
lished originally when the fever was first
announced, was them modified 80 As to
cover only yellow fever points and Is now
restored. The Morgan City case revived
the scare. The border Texas counties,
Jefferson and Orange, Joined Galveston In
putting an all-rotind quarantine In force,
and the State health officer, Tabor, fol-
lowed suit. There have been rumors Tor
q week Of case Of yellow fever at Morgan
City which were denied. As matter OF
fact the case developed only yesterday.
A family of Italian refugees from tho in
footed district in New Orleans were de-
tanned by the Morgan City health officials
and kept isolated under guard. One OF
them developed an unquesttoned case OF
yellow fever yesterday. Tho result was
to stifien all the State guarantees. Texas
has quarantined against all Louisiana.
Mississippi has similar quarantine, but
will allow persons who have spent five days
in theUnited States detention camps to enter
the State, something 1t has heretofore re-
fused to do. Alabama has guaranteed
against all Louisiana that 10. the State health
ofaoe has done 80. although the law requires
q proclamation from the Governor to make
the quarantine effective, and no SUCH
proclamation has been issued.
Arkansas, which has taken no action
heretofore In the fever situation, has finally
quarantined, through its State board OF
health, against all infected points In Louisi-
ana. As the board Is without funda. the
State militia will be used for quarantine
guards. What has confused the situation
Is that In addition 70 the State guarantees
every county and town has special quaran-
tine Of It's own, in all cases different and in
many cases in conflict with the orders Is
sued by the several State boards OF health.
In Mississippi the quarantine epidemic
is milder to-day. Laurel has taken Oh its
quarantine against the world. and Natchez
has asked to be allowed to do So jackson
will also adopt milder measures. On the
othe- hand, Plrvis has sealed itself up her
metioally. At Port Gibson all strangers
must submit to police surveillance during
their stay in town, on the same basis az q
extreme limit Of refusing to accept mail
unless it is fumigated. The post office
authorities. under the advice OF the United
States Marine Hospital Service. have re-
fused to fumigate It. and the Utica mails
will remain In the post ONCE mere until the
scare is over.
Passengers entering New Orleans, from
Mississippi are required to have health
certificates that they have not been near
an infected point. A number OF persons

The Louisiana State Board Of Health to-
day instructed all local boards that five
days was sufficient quarantine and that
they must not require a longer detention
Of ton, fifteen and even twenty-one days.

local boards that 1t was entirely unneces.

that all , na sts bs
imperative order. In spite OF its orders
there is still some confusion In Louisiana
guarantees. though not so bad as In
Mississippi. Shreveport has Guaranteed
against all the rest OF the State IN order
Of any kind, freight or passenger, from New
Orleans are allowed to enter the town..
At Baton Rouge the quarantine has been
made a shotgun affair and turned over
to the local militia. 1t is not. however,
. very rigid one.
citizens voted down the local quarantine
by q vote Of two to one. The Red River
steamboats, have had to surrender, like
those on the Mississippi River to the numer-
GUS guarantees on orders not to land.
This cuts on ;;b ths sho 81 vor from
Most OF the internal quarantine fights
have been settled by mutual compromises.
Natohez and vidalia have resolved to
abolish their mutual guarantees, and 30
have the parishes Of Ascension and Assump-
ton. On the other hand, the warfare
son and Kansas City Railroad is hotter than
Guaranteed against Mobile. St. Bernard
has no quarantine against New Orleans,
but its people who enter the city for bust
they will be barred out. No one is allowed
to sleep in the city and no Italians are per-
mitted to enter the parish under any cir
cumstances or at any time.
All farmers institutes, Confederate re.
and Louisiana have been called OF until
after the fever. and all intertown baseball
games have been prohibited. Nearly all
the Mississippi and Louisiana towns quaran-
tine against fruit, the only exception being
made In favor Of the lemon. The banana.
on the contrary, is viewed with the greatest
country, and nearly all the quarantine
ordinations specifically prohibit it's intro
duction under any conditions:
The doctors report l25 yellow fever pa
TENTS under treatment In New Orleans
to-day. Tho others who have had the
disease have either recovered or died.
Ferdinand Leineheber, a saloonman In the
infected district. was hit over the head
to-day with beer mug and his skull frae-
tured In dispute on the question whether
or not the yellow fever Is propagated by
