SINCE OUTBREAK OF VEL
LOW FEVER BEGAN.

New Orleans, Aug. 2.-Little change
characterized the yellow fever situa-
tion during the day. OF the five new
foci mentioned in the preceding twen-
ty-four hours only three are above
Canal street in widely separated dis
tricts and traceable to the original
zone of infection. The days reports Of
convalescents is very encouraging and
it is becoming evident that with care
full treatment the present visitation OF
the fever will be shorn of many of its
terrors. Reports from the bedside of
those other than Italians was to the
effect that the disease was steadily
yielding to treatment. The number
of cases to date is 3O4 and the deaths
total sixty-two. /
The announcement by DR.. Taber of
Texas of a quarantine against the
whole state of Louisiana promises to
again throw traffic on the west side of
the river out of joint. Under this or
Texas coming from this city without
first having gone into a camp Of deten-
tion for six days. The effect will be
practically to prevent all passenger
traffic into Texas from New Orleans.
The hope here is that DR.. Taber will
not still further extend his restrics
tions so as to include freight. g
Three new cases and one death were
reported up to noon. The state board
of health has issued proclamation to
all municipal and parish boards to rec.
ognize health officers OF the Marine
