New orleans, Aug. 25.-Ofticial re- |
port to p. m. yesterday:
New cases. A; total cases to date
! 1000.
Deaths, !; total deaths to date. 22G !
New foci, 10; total to- date, 3GO.
Remaining under treatment, 2S7.
With the fever here coming steadily
Under control, and apprehension no
longer felt Of dangerous epidemic
the federal authorities are anxious to
put restrictions against free inter
course between New Orleans and in
fected communities in Louisiana and
elsewhere
The policy of such move was fully
discussed in the conferences of the
| fever-fiehters with Governor Blanch-
ard, and the results are to be made
known at the meeting of the state
board of health, which has been called
to take place today
The necessity of some such action
arises especially from the conduct of
the Italians and other foreign races.
Many of them fed from New Orleans
to the surrounding parishes when the
fever first grew violent here. They
established nests of infection at va
rious points. Since then many of them
have been drifting back to New Or.

i and increasing the foci here. There
is constant communication among
them between points here and else
where. The idea of the authorities
is to quarantine infected points
against each other.
No Surrender of MOSQUITO Theory.
No surrender, of course, is made of
the principle that the mosquito is the
Cnly means of transmission. but the
attitude to be assumed is that which
DR.. Guiteras declares is responsible
for the Havana quarantine Havana
Il perfectly willing to receive one case
OF fever or twenty cases without fear
OF infection but insists that every case
must be labeled. The authorities here
believe the resolutions which the
state board of health will pass today
will stop promiscuous communication
between Leeville, Patterson and other
points and New Orleans. and enable
them the more quickly to stamp OUT
the fever here
Yesterdays report was encouraging.
The death list was somewhat larger
than the day before. but it did net
reach the maximum set earlier in the
month, and there is not the slightest
indication Of the tendency the fever
assumed at this period in 1878.
Foc Outside of New Orleans.
Another nest of infection was found
today at point not far from Patter-
son in Assumption parish Ten cases
were seen at Amelia, and DIR. Chas-
: saignac, who made the inspection for

weeks. A physician and fumigating
force were sent there yesterday.

Leeville, at the mouth of Bayou La
Fourche. but as relief has reached
