NEW ORLEANS, July 2s.-New cases Of
yellow fever are reported at Baldwin. La.
and Tampa, Fla. Other cases have developed
during the week at Bunkie, Bayou Goula
and Port Barrow, all directly traceable

by ordinances making the circulation OF
alarming rumors a misdemeanor and at
Memphis, Montgomery and other points
several persons have been arrested and
fined for starting yellow fever rumors.
