Another Week Will Tell.

By the end of the present week the
authorities in charge of the yellow
fever situation believe that they will
be able to announce that the scourge
can be eradicated before the coming
of frost. Daily the system of inSpec-
ton and report is becoming more per-
feet, and in a few days no more new
cases traceable to the original infec-
ton may be expected.
Communication with the infected
quarters has stopped, except for those
whose business requires their presence
where the fever has ragged most fierce
ly. Within the next week, therefore,
it is probable that the health authori-
ties will know just what to expect
from the escaped persons who We're
exposed to yellow fever.
Many people are still leaving New
Orleans, but it is difficult to separate
those who are going away on their
usual annual vacations or on business
from those who are seeking to get
of the city's population is still here
however and apparently is decided
to stay until the mosquito theory is
proved or frost comes.
The various citizens committees
continued their work with great en-
ergy to-day and Chairman Janvier,
of the general committee, expressed
himself optimistically concerning the
outlook. He said that the medical
authorities had taken hold of the stu
alton and were handling it with great
intelligence and skill and that it was
confidently believed that the fight
would be successful and that it would
be conclusively. demonstrated that the
mosquito was the only agent of trans
mission.
Case at Morgan City.
President Souchon received advices
to-day that the Wilmot case at Nor
gan City, eighty miles west of New
| Orleans, had been pronounced yellow
fever. Every precaution Is taken to
prevent a spread of this infection.
1t is said that when the present
sickness passes, New Orleans will not
seek to regain the fruit trade which
now has been diverted to Mobile, I'M
less the fruit companies are willing to
| submit to regulations which will make
| impossible the Introduction of fever.
Viewed from the most optimistic side
the present scourge will ultimately
cost many times the value of one
seasons fruit business. Moreover, it
! is possible that public sentiment in
Alabama and Mississippi will require
| the authorities to take such precau-
| tons as to fruit steamers that the
| IfulI companies VIII eNeHtudily lllu
| themselves forced to submit TO the
equally strict regulations in all South
| ern ports.
The fact that the regulations at
New Orleans have not been sufficiently
| severe is shown by the fact that
| among the cases now under treatment
is that of the engineer of the steamer
| Origen, who was i'll of yellow fever
when the ship landed last week. He
had contracted yelloy fever in Central
America, but the disease did not full
| ly develop until after he had been re-
| moved to his home.

CASTRO ARMING
AS IF FOR A WAR
Venezuelan President Particularly
Hostile to the French
Clash Coming.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Sept. 7,Word was re-
ceived at the state department today
that President Castro is. continuing his
campaign Of hostility against the for
eign interests in Venezuela. Minister
Russell cabled to the department that
Castro has closed the French cable Of
fees at Caracas and elsewhere along the
coast. All cablegrams now have to be
sent by government land line to La
guayra, from which point they are re-
faved to the coast and forwarded by an
other line. For this service Castro ex-
acts toll of 20 cents a word, altho
the government line is only twelve
miles long.
The state department officials believe
that the French government will
promptly resent the closing of the cable
office and that trouble will follow. Cas-
tro claims to be merely executing the
order Of the court which declared that
the cable offices should be closed be-
cause the company had failed to live
UP to the requirements of it's contract
with the Venezuelan government.
Castro is preparing for military
emergency. He recently sent instruc-
tions to the Cramp shipyard at Phila-
delphia to complete within sixty days
cruiser which has been on the stocks
there for the Venezuelan government
for the past two years. It is also re-
ported that Castro has invested in ST.,
100000 worth Of ammunition
