NO RELAXATION IN THE WORK
TUESDAYS RECORD.
The General situation.

New Orleans, Aug. 23.-The fact
that there was little change yester-
day from the record for several days
was accepted by federal authorities
as confirming their expression of en-
couraging nature of the yellow fever
situation.
Word has gone down the line from
headquarters that there must be no
cessation of measures recommended
as necessary to continue the control
OF the situation. Relaxation now
would only give the fever opportunity
to gain fresh hold upon the COM
munity and with three months inter
yening before frost it is felt that any
want of vigilance may undo all the
good that has already been done
Deaths Yesterday were again primer
pally of persons bearing foreign
names. An exception was Arthur
Hill, an employee of one of the large
wholesale dry goods houses.
In spite of all agitation there has
been on the subject some cisterns
still remain unscreened and the po-
lice have received orders to spare no
one who shows indisposition to obey
the law Failure to screen caused
Hart Newman. son of lsidor New
man, a millionaire banker, to spend
a brief time in a cell today. New
man is Head of the company which
owns Athletic Park. Cisterns there
were not screened. When the police
appeared in his Carondelet street Of
fees today Newman ordered them out
and then barred the doors.
Newman later went to the police
headquarters and was arrested and
locked up. Later he was released.
His excuse for not screening cisterns
was oversight.
Among kilograms to the mayor
were one from Democratic Campaign
Manager Thomas Taggart, of Indian
apolis. Taggart wrote OF his interes;
and sympathy and offered large con
tribution of water from French Lick
for the hospitals and for poor pa
tents. The offer was accepted.
Some surprise is expressed here
at the announcement from Jackson
that the fever at Mississippi City has
been declared epidemic. 1t is not
believed the number of cases reported
from there is sufficient to cause alarm
and owing to the mildness of the
type lacal authorities see no reason
why IL should not be held in check.
