DEATHS FROM FEVER
LARGEST NUMBER OF ANY ONE

OF NEW ORLEANS.

New Orleans, Aus 2s.-Following 10

New cases, 81; total cases to date,
1,743; deaths, 10; total deaths, 255;
new sub-foci, II; total sub-foci, 402;
cases remaining under treatment, 49,
The record shows the smallest mum.
Der of new cases since Aug. and
the largest number Of deaths on any
day since the fever made it's appear
ance. The unusual number of deaths
is attributed in a measure to the
sudden change in the weather, Sat
urday night being cool and pleas
ant, in great contrast to the weather
OF the preceding week. Three well
known merchants are among the new
cases. Only two names that can be
traced to Italian origin are among the
thirty-one Lew cases. Of the deaths
eight are Italians.
The principal news from outside the
city was the announcement from
Natchez Of the discovery Of six cases
there and the attempt to blame New
Orleans for them. This is regarded
as rather strange In view Of the fact
that of all the tight guarantees
against New Orleans, Natchez has
maintained the highest, not even al
lowing its own people to return there
If they had been near New Orleans.

Meyer that Japan was ready to waive

way for Japan's backdown upon the
main issue. The announcement had
been the sensation OF the day. It had
met with denials high and low. 1t

bic. The Japanese declined to admit
It and the Russians said they had no
