bIess.ng.
Eight deaths and thirty-nve new
cases were reported up to 8 o'clock
Moaday afternoon.
Two large foci Of Infection were dis
covered outside Of the city by officers Of
the marine hospital service. Dr. Cor

ST. Charles parish to look Into some
suspicious cases and found six positive
yellow fever cases OF secondary infec-

are on a sugar plantation and three OF
them were Italians and one a negro.
The other point u Infection Is the
town Of Patterson. iin ST. Mary parish
whore br. Guiterna found nineteen
cases u secondary infection. Most OF
these are also Italians. The local health
boards have taken charge IN both in
stances and are following out the direc-
tions of the marine hospital service.
The state board % health was asked
TO send an Inspector 10 Jackson. West
FelIciaua parish.
The two cases iu Bon An are beilcv-
si 90 bee genuine yellow fever. on ac-
count % though. the drastic quarantine
OF C4lcasieu county no trains are stop
ping there 50 the board Of health cannot
send an inspector. The moderate num-
ber of new cases and the marked de-
crease In the number Of new foci dur
Ing the past three days has given
ground for the hope that the progress
Of the mosquito fever has been really
checked. As a matter ot fact. the
thorough inspection. fumigation and
disinfection of the original focus OF in
fection began 20 tell four days ago and
the continued improvement Is regarded
as a most encouraging sign.

service has assumed general control OF
the situation and entered into closer
relations with the state board. but no
radical changes have yet been made
nor viii be made.
The death reported on the Bell plan
tatiOn In Jefferson parish, opposite New
Orleans Is the nth that has occurred
there showing the heavy mortality
from the fever where adequate atten-
tion Is not given. Five Italians fed
from New Orleans 20 this plantation
and one after another has taken the
fever and succumbed. The vicinity has
been thoroughly Isolated and disinfect-
ed and every precaution VIII be taken
10 prevent subsequent infection by
means OF the mosquito.
one Incident out OF the ordinary Is the
case Of the death of Emile NJ. Lopez. a
boy. from the fever After his death
had been reported the board Of health
gave permission TO hold the body TWEEN
ty-four hours before burial. While the
hoy lay in his coffin his mother EN-
braced her dead son and thought she
detected signs of life. Physicians were
called and efforts made TO revive him.
They proved unavailiug. however. and
young Lopez was finally pronounced
dead and was buried
