very docile. The citizens are not eycit-

ever, al! are cooperating with the au-
thorlties, especially Mayor Camp and

VICTIMS MOSTLY ITALIANS.
The health authorities continue to
hold also that the plague remains an
Italian Infection. all but two Of the 26
cases reported being OF that national
lty. Almost without exception since the
beginning of the fever, those who have
fallen victims 10 the disease have been
OF the poorer classes of the population
many of them not long residents of
the United States, and, therefore, un-
acclimated.
For several years the planters of
Louisiana have been replacing the ne
grOes with Italian labor, and there has
been steady flow OF immigration
from Sicily and other parts Of Italy to
louisiana Many of the immigrants
have remained in New Orleans, find.
ing employment in the peddling OF
fruit Or III the work of unloading yes-
sells at the fruit wharves. 1t vas among
these that the fever first appeared and
to their lack of acclimatiOn and the
inadeQuacy of their treatment has
been largely due the heavy mortality
that has characterized the present Wis
itatiOn of the scouTge. Fridays deaths
have been principally of Italians. In
two or more cases in the last two
days deaths have DCen reported OF
persons who We're only reported the
day previously as having taken the
fever. There have been concealed
cases, which the emergency officers,
with the assistance OF surgeons, have
disclosed.
The first death in the Emergency
Hospital occurred. The hospital was
opened Friday with Is cases and an
equal number was added Friday. Into
the hospital are sent the worst cases
OF Unfortunates found without com
forts or medicinal attendance in their
homes.
