YELLOW SCOURGE
WELL CONTROLLED
SITUATION IN NEW ORLEANS rs
ENCOURAGING.
PHYSICIANS ARE HOPEFUL
Chances for Early Eradication of the
Pest Are Considered Good
New Cases and Deaths
Show Decline.

New Orleans, Aug. 21.-Following is
the official report to six p. M: Sunday:
New cases, 45; total cases to date,
1885; deaths, 4: total deaths, 1876; re-
naming under treatment, 381. No
better evidence of the fact that the vis--
itation of mosquito fever is not only
being controlled here, but that there is
chance for it's eradication, can be
found than in the daily reports of
cases and deaths. For several days
the number of new cases has shown
decline, while the number of deaths
have been remarkably low, considering
the number of cases reported week
ago. The death list indicates that
practically every case that develops is
now being reported, and that means
that the modern method of treatment
to prevent spread is being applied.
When that condition is assured the
end of the visitation is in sight and it
Jocks as if that condition is approach
ing. Comparison with the visitation of
1873 shows that there is no reason for
alarm in the present instance. They
prove the fact that the disease is being
controlled. They also indicate that if
it had not been checked and controlled
at the time that it was, that the vista
ton this year would have been as seri-
GUS as that of 1873 While the marine
hospital surgeons are indulging in no
comments, they are much more hopeful
than they were two weeks ago when
they took hold of the situation.
News from outside the city contains
nothing of special interest. The infec-
ton on Riverside plantation in ST.
Mary parish has spread among the
Italians there until there have been 81
cases all told to date. There have
been 13 new cases since the last re-
port, four days ago. A strict quaran-
tine has been put on the bayou La
Fourche settlement, and several refu-
gees coming up the bayou in luggers
have been turned back. Three of the
six fever cases there died Friday. DR..
Cuisine, the health officer at Kenner,
reports five new cases at Hanson City,
in Jefferson parish, making Ia all told in
that settlement. One new case devei-
Oped at Sarpy plantation. Patterson re-
ports ten cases and one death. The
death is of nurse who was sent there
by the state board of health on the
first appeal to help. Surgeon Wasdin
reports four new cases at Mississippi
City, with only nine cases under treat
ment. Surgeon Guiteras, who went to
Rayne to investigate the second case, re-
ported from there that it was not yellow
fever. Surgeon White went to Mobile
to have a conference with the Ala
bama state health authorities.
