expectation that for some days to come there would be daily average of twenty to twenty-five cases and proportionate number of deaths owing to the extent of the main infected territory, and any thing less than these figures will be re- garded as a distinct assurance that the situation is still under control. Carrying on A scientific fight of this kind Is a slow and tedious work, but the confidence of the authorities and the enthusiasm of the bulk of the public show no impair ment and there Is every indication that the struggle will be carried forward with dogged persistence in the effort to win a victory that will give heart to hope to the whole south in the future.
 Though the announcement that Cover nor Blanchard had actually ordered the naval brigade under arms and dispatch ed it in the mosquito fleet of the oyster commission to the Louisiana Mississippi boundary attracted attention, there Is absolutely no apprehension that any serious collision will occur. Hope gener- ally Is expressed that Governor Varda- man's instructions to his guards not to trepasD upon Louisiana territory will be rigdly observed, and that there will be no necessity on the part of Commander Bostick's fleet to use violent measures. The Mississippi militia, in their effort to prevent any invasion of their territory. have been unnecessarily zealous and have caused some annoyance to Louisiana boat men and fishermen, but so intimate IS the relationship between New Orelaus and the gulf coast of the sister state. that no one here wants to see any serious trou- be arise.
 Tn addition to putting the naval brig ade on ships, Governor Blanchard today wired to the sheriffs and district attor- neys of St. Bernard and Orleans parishes with view to invoking the assistance Of the civil authorities 70 clear Louisiana waters of any armed invaders To the sheriffs he sent this telegram:
 You will take steps immediately to capture and arrest all armed vessels and those aboard found within that part or Lake Borgne situated in your parishes, so that the grand jury may act. Consult the district attorney and call upon Com mander Bostick of the naval militia for aecictance fa effect caDture.'

With a view to inaugurating more thorough cleaning movement and strengthening the arms of the health au- thorities in fighting the mosquito, Mayor Rehrman called a conference at the city hall today Opinions were expressed by Health Officer Kohnke, by Dr. Beverly Warner, in charge of the ward work, and by Chairman Janvier of the citizens com mittee. that while yellow fever was known to be not filth disease, and that the most perfect cleaning of the city could affect in no way the fight against the disease. it being the consensus Of opinion that yellow fever is transmitted only by the stegomyia. a general sanitary move ment would be certain to have a me moral effect and would enlist the sym pathy and active assistance of the public in putting into effect the precautions deemed necessary to destroy the breed. jns places of the mosquito. The result or the meeting was the appointment or com mittees that will take in hand and carry out most comprehensive plans of sanitary work.
 The inspectors who are at work seaich- ins, ont cases of illness are having many strange experiences There still exists a widespread antipathy among the ignorant classes to making public cases of sickness ana great deal of the inspectors time is taken up in running down suspicious of cases which are communicated by cii- 1aos to the board of health
