 extended yesterday to embrace the en- tire State of Louisiana
 The quarantine against Louisiana has a time limit of seven days. IT the fever in this period does not develop IL is likely that the ban may be inden- nitely continued. This was modin- cation of the general order and was made by State Health Omcer w. n. Sanders last night.
 The quarantine officers began yester- day morning to enforce a quarantine against the infected State. The ban was stretched to include all Of Louis- jana on the strength of the new foci which have been discovered in quite number of parishes and localities in that State, news of which was tele- graphed yesterday morning early to the State Board of Health whose headquarters are in the Capitol here
 The report of new focf discovered outside of New Orleans was made to the Health Department by State Health Officer Edmond Souchon of Louisiana It was immediately repeated to State Health Officer w. H. Sanders in Mobile by Chief Clerk w. R. Brassell of the Department here. pr. Sanders con- sidered it proper to put on duaran- tine against Louisiana at once and mo- tified the various supervisors over the State to enforce the same.
 It was expected that a proclamation would be issued declaring this extend- ed quarantine but up to late hour last night none was promulgated. IL Is considered strange that the quaran- tine should be actually in effect with out a proclamation from Governor Jelks. The quarantine law of the State provides that quarantine procla- nations shall be made by the Cover nor upon recommendations of the State Board of Health. 1t is certain. how ever, that the exclusion of all passen- gers from any part of Louisiana was observed yesterday by the seventy five or more quarantine officers distributed on trains throughout the State. They are acting under orders of the State Board of Health and yesterday used blanks printed for the purpose. The proc lamation of the Governor Is ex- pected later, probably today
 The total territory now under quar- antfne by Alabama includes Louisiana and all the towns or cities along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad be- tween New Orleans and the Alabama line. The quarantine against New Or leans the coast towns and Louisiana as a whole came in the order named except that the quarantine of the addi- tional territory is not yet supported by proclamation. It Is presumed that Dr. Sanders and the State Board yesterday, in ordering the quarantine against Louisiana deemed 1t expedient to act promptly and then lay the mat ter before the Governor as time would be lost in communicating with him ts the extent necessary.
 The communication of Dr. Souchon of Louisiana, reporting the infected points outside of New Orleans is as follows: u.. ..-. '-State Board of Health. Montgomery.
 Ala: =. ....
 The infected points outside of New Orleans are Bunkie, Avoyelles Parish; Port Barrow, near Donaldsonvil1e: Elizabeth plantation, Iberville Parish; |; vicinity of Fort St. Phillip; Diamond plantation, St. Charles Parish. and Bowie. Lafourche Parish.

 Some little confusion is expected to result from the further enforcement of the extended quarantine on account of the refugees being ignorant of the action of the Alabama Board of Health. No few persons from Louisiana were encountered on trains entering Mont gomery yesterday. They were takes- in charge and sent out of the State with the promptness that is used when the party comes from the infected dis trict in New Orleans. Passengers from points under quarantine continue to try to evade the law. It Is impossible. of course, to impose the penalty for these violations as 1t would not be wise to arrest the guilty ones and keep them in the State. thereby defeating the very purpose for which the quarantine was established. But there is strong talk just now of arranging system by which the violators can be arrested after the period of detention or ten days after their discovery In the State g borders. To this end the quarantine officers are taking descriptions of those who wilfully violate the regulations and although they are summarily sent out of the State they will likely be ar rested and tried for the offenses charged.
 To further enforce obedience to the quarantine law 1t Is very likely that the State Health Board will In a day or two offer a reward for the appre- hension with evidence to convict of any person who enters the State from the restricted area in violation of the regulations. It Is believed that tbis would compel refugees S be more scrupulous in their efforts to find har- bor in Alabama
 It was with considerable rush that an Italian known to have come from New Orleans Friday night was whisk- ed to a returning train of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad by the officers from this point. The Italian, whose name was given with confusion and indefinitely known, congratulated himself too early in his short career as a refugee He had beaten his way from New Orleans to Fort Morgan. where he arrived Friday. and boarded a train on the Fort Morgan and Bay Minette road. Arriving at the latter place he caught a train to Montgomery and was stopped here on suspicion. Put under a close examination, the Italian confessed to his guilt He was greatly frightened by being discovered and entreated the authorities to let him go to Mobile He was sent back to New Orleans on the train leaving here at 9:35. Instructions for his de- tention upon arrival in the Crescent City were wired to the authorities there by Supervisor BrasselL
 Dr. Sanders, who has been in Mobile for the past few days, intimated yes terday that he would come to Mont gomery today and should he get here he will direct the administration of the quarantine from his office here. He has been busy inspecting the relay camp of the Louisville and Nashville at Grand Bay, Miss, where crews and train complements will be changed.
 The quarantine officers are bent upon enforcing the regulations even if they have to intern a passenger train as a whole. Officer Thrasher was confront ed with something of this character yesterday when he detected that con ductor and the porter of a Pullman car ou tho PofluaU Wera ahOut tO
