 Street, in the heart or the original infection, will be aOandoned and all the patients removed to the new in- stitution. The work of conversion of the school into an infirmary was be- gun today. The doors and windows will be screened with fine bronze wire to such perfection that 1t is expected mosquito bars over the patients will not be necessary. With double doors and other agencies IL is proposed to | make the building absolutely mosqui- i to-proof. The new hospital will be much larger than the old one, more | completely ventilated and equipped | with more thorough sanitary arrange ments. The idea, however, of making | 1t also a detention camp for fami- lies who are not i'll has been aban- doned
 Deaths Due to Neglect.
 Two of the deaths during the past twenty-four hours illustrate the UT gent need for prompt report if the | patients are to have any chance of re- covery. Both died through neglect. One, an Italian woman, was i'll in her | home without a physician for five days before neighbors discovered the fact. | She was beyond human aid when the | doctors found her. The other case was | that of Greek. He was found in an atIlc Auo SLoutly ODIeclSd 10 DelnS re- ] ported as a yellow fever patient. When the ambulance reached him he was in practically a moribund condition. Announcement was made here yes- | terday through 8 telegram from Man ager Baldwin in New York that the opening of his stock company at the Lyric Theatre would be postponed from September 8. until later in the month | owing to fever conditions. Parson Davies. the lessee of the theatre, to- day wired Mir. Baldwin urging him to reconsider the postponement. He said that. except for West End and the bands in the public parks, New Or | leans was now without any summer amusements and that tne population would welcome the opening of thea | tres. In this connectIon an effort is l being made to have Manager Frank of | the New Orleans baseball club play the three closing games of the season on the local grounds A monster petition | is being signed by State and city off, cials, banks, merchants and profes- siona1 men for delivery to Frank. | There is nothing to prevent the play | CTS of the New Orleans and Birming- ham clubs from coming here in Sep tember and leaving New orleans when | the series Is over. There has been no | professional ball here for a month and the deprivation ss especially se- were in view of the TacL that nothing now can prevent New Orleans from | winning the pennant.
 Due to the fact thar false impress sions apparently exist elsewhere the Southern Pacific announced today that I there was no delay whatever to through freight from any section 70 points West of the Mississippi river. All the roads l make the same announcement with respect to through traffic and there has been no diversion whatever oi transatlantic tonnage. >- @.
 Heavy Travel to Cuba.
 | With the wiping out or the fever the Southern Pacific anticipates an un- usually heavy travel through this port to Cuba during the coming winter With that expectation 1t has char tered the passenger steamer Prince Arthur of 2.240 tons, built in Hull England. in 1899, and will put thu vessel in the Cuban trade in October The ship will carry IFS first-class thirty-six second-cabin ana twenty four steerage passengers
 Practically all the local railroad meT have remained on duty~here from tht quarantines have seriously interferet with their labors. A number of then refused vacations and others who ac' cepted the offers are returning here, The action of all these Is regarded most favorably, in few of the fact tha' many of them are non-immunes.
 Dr. J. N. Thomas. in charge of tho quarantine station, at the mouth of tht river, made a report to the State BoarC of Health today. Dr. Thomas said:
 Fruit trade with Colon should b. prohibited. If it was stopped yellow fever could more easily be prevented from landing in Southern coasts. Co lon has always been a danger point No fruit ship should ever be allowed to go to Colon and then come to ans Southern port. Leave out Colon anc there would be little further danger of infection from fruit vessels"
 Except for the cessation of the frui' trafnc there has been little perceptibit falling off in the number of vessels passing the quarantine station.
 Quarantine Against World.
 Cairo, H., Aug 25.-A new quaran' tine regulation against the world VII go into effect here tomorrow morning Travel Is already very light and since the first rush of refugees to the Nortf the steamboats and railroads are car 1 rying very few passengers.
