one half of August gone and with total
deaths since July Is. one month. Of
only l54. an average OF FIVE a day, the
marine hospital service authorities
Monday began me second week of their
fight against the yellow fever
In spite of all appeals that have been
made by the press and the federal
authorities, there is still suppression
of cases. One instance Is that of a
daughter of a well known lawyer. She
is said to have had n typical case and
to have been treated only by nearby
druggist. When discovered by a doc
tor. her condition was hopeless SUM-
day she died The consequence is
that steps are to be taken to compel
druggists TO make a prompt report of
all cases Of illness that come under
their observation The Southern
Pacific has taken steps 10 meet the
charge made some time since that
people we're skipping into Texas on

done in the originally infected area hut

The second month of the fghr
against yellow fever in New Orleans
began Monday with reports of new
cass at noon indicating that the tle-
ures for Monday would easily approx
mata those Of Sunday There were
10 deaths Sunday. light excess over
the figures for the preceding few DAYS
hut this increase Is TO be expected ow
ing 10 the large number of cases re
ported for the past five days. The dis
Ease Is SLOWLY spreading in New Or
lans despite the magnificent work of
the federal authorities but the increase
Of new cases outside of tho city Is al
most imperceptible. The weather in
