DEATHS S.

and Attacking Most Exclusive
Families.

On account of the large number OF
new cases reported yesterday, today's
record occasioned some surprise. as
many expected the total of new cases
would be larger. The list made pub
lie at 6 O'Clock tonight includes .,
larger proportion of non-foreign nance
than have yet been announced, which
is the only part of the report which
occasions any uneasiness. Il shows
that the disease is spreading to all
parts OF the city and is attacking the
most exclusive families here The num-
bcr of deaths was relatively small, and
the list Of affected districts was also
gratifying.
The arbitrary action of the parish of
kapides in stopping all traffic through
the parish has been amended, and the
through trains on the Texas & Pacific
will be allowed to continue 1t is ex-
pected that CalcasCu parish will also
rescind its action on the same lines
and enable the Southern Pacific to re-
sumo its through service.
Outside of the fever itself, the con-
ditions brought about by the strict
quarantine are serious and are felt in
every line of commercial llfe The
railroads are badly handicapped, and
in many instances are unable to move
passengers, mails or freight.
The Southern Pacific railroad has its
entire service on the main line dscon-
tinued because one parish in western
Louisiana refused to permit trains OF
any kind to pass through, night or
cay. Train service on the Louisville &
Nashville railroad is also disturbed as
was to be expected.
NO BLOODSHED, SAYS VARDAMAN.
Jackson. Miss, Aug. 4.-Gov. Varda-
man was advised by long distance tel
ephone tonight from Gulfport that two
Mississippi soldiers acting as quaran-
tine guards had been captured by one
Of the boats of the Louisiana MOSQUITO
feet at Lake Borgne.
Regarding the capture of Lieut.. Ivy
and 10 privates of the Louisiana naval
reserves today by the Mississippi pa
troll boat Tipsey, the governor states
that the Mississippi soldiers now on
duty have strict instructions not to
molest any boats save those attempt
ing to land on Mississippi shores, and
the Louisiana soldiers must have been
making an attempt of this sort when
the capture was made. The governor
still believes that there is no likeli-
hood whatever of an armed clash be-
tween the troops Of the two states that
would involve bloodshed.
POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT NOT
WORRIED.
Washington, Aug. 4.-The alleged
stopping of trains carrying the United
States mails in certain sections of
Louisiana does not occasion any con-
2ern at the postofiice department. No
action of any kind has been taken rel

'ailroad trains were stopped in making
master General Cortelyou requested of
Zen. Shallenberger, the second assist
int postmaster general and In charge

nent as to what the department is do
ng in the matter.
General Shalleneberger said this af-
that no action had been taken
n ha H..
Z the quarantine officers hold up the
nail at one point, there are local rules
md regulations which will apply, and
ZEN. Shallenberger is of the opinion

ar as the mails are concerned. No
has been received by the de-
,artment
