pected to send a large number OF yellow

and efficiently carried out in connection
with the scientific treatment OF cases. The

the fact that the situation is serious, but
they say IT is not without hope, and that
success is possible in spite of the headway
the fever has gained, particularly In the
foreign neghborhoods below Canal street

lively small, leads to the hope that vigi.

ter, while the more direct campaign pro-
crosses below, will enable the authorities
| TO keep more than half of the city free
from serious infection. OF the deaths "a
