New Orleans, Aug. Swallowing IS the corrected official record up to p. m.:
 New cases. 60; total cases to date, 616; death, 4; total deaths, 112; new sub-foci. 17; total sub-foci, 11S.
 The figures vary slightly from those that have been sent out lately. but are the official record. which was today checked up and corrected to date.
 The large number of new cases and sub-foci Is surprising, when contrasted with the encouraging reports or the past three days, but no attempt Is be- ing made to account for it. Of the new sub -foci, three are up town ana the balance down town. Two dead men were found in a shanty in the woods and 1t was found that they had died Of yellow fever They were Italians who had refugeed either from the infected district or from the fishing camp at Milneburg and died from lack of atten- tion.
 The State Board of Health today took up the question of enforcing sensible system of quarantines In the State ana one in accordance with the State law, which provides that no parochial or municipal quarantine shall be more restrictive than that provided by the State Board of Health. The board de- cided to call on the Governor for the militia to protect travel through parishes which have imposed drastic Quarantines.
 A case of quarantine brutality and frenzy was reported to the State Board of Health today by Judge J. l.. Gaudet. who presides in the parishes of St Charles, St. John and Jefferson. con- tiguous to New Orleans. He went from Jefferson to his home in St. Johns and was there set upon by several guards and brutally beaten and the parish health officer refused to recognize the certificate which he brought from the parish health oficer of Jefferson that he had not been near any infection for six days, The f'~-- a l; 5r v t-. !

 Che new case of fever developed on the Elizabeth plantation In lber- vile parish, where an Italian died about two weeks ago.
 No other new cases have developed in the State as far as known, except at Patterson, where there are now twenty-six cases. Dr. Brady investi- gated the suspicious illness in Jack son, West Feliciana parish, and found that there were four cases of typhoid and no yellow fever. Arrangements have been made with the local author ities in Calcasieu parish to provide 2 special train from Lake Charles to Ron Ami so that an expert and nurse can he sent there to attend the cases which developed there recently
 Reason of the Jump.
 Because of the larger number of cases reported the fever situation did not nave so favorable an aspect to- day hut it is explained that the in- crease is the result of the investiga- tion of a bunch of suspicious cases Of sickness, some of which the health au- thorities were unable to inquire into yesterday. The inspectors of the ma rine hospital service spent much or the day in their investigation and their reports caused the large jump in the number of cases from noon 10 $ o'clock The federal authorities have determined to treat every case pre- senting any symptoms of yellow fever as actual yellow fever. Dr. White soid If he knew of every case of fever at present in the city IS well s every case that had existed he would feel that the disease could be stamped ont in thirty days. His policy there fore is to locate every possible focus of infection so that every precaution may he taken to prevent additional in- lection.
 Practically all doubt of the raising of the fund of quarter of million desired by the government was re- moved today when both the State and the city moved to assist the citizens of New orleans. Governor Blanchard, whom Chairman Janvier of the citi- zens' committee. had asked to advance sfoO 900. wired MT Janvier that the state ought to help New Orleans fi- nancially and every other way in this emergency and would do so; that he was getting into communication with members of the legislature; that he would make the loan as soon as he heard from a sufficient number and that it would be all right for the com mittee here to go ahead. Previously the local banks had wired the Cover nor that he might have the money as soon as he wanted 1t. Today the Gov ernor kept the wires all over the State hot with messages asking members of the legislature if they will support an appropriation of $loO,OOO. Affirmative answers are being received
