Government to Aid.

New Orleans, Aug 5.-The an
nouneement through the Associated
Press in today's papers that President
Roosevelt had acted with characteris-
tic promptness on request OF Cover
nor Blanchard to have the marine
hospital service take charge of the
yellow fever situation here has Great
ed general satisfaction. though in
some quarters there is dissent from
the action of yesterdays meeting on
the ground that Louisiana ought not
to surrender her sovereignty and con-
fess her inability to handle the situa-
ton.
The opion generally is. however,
that confidence outside Louisiana is
so completely lacking in local health
authorities, that unless the iterposi-
tion of the government is asked there

the coming frost. Moreover, it is be-
lieved the power, discipline. efficien-

the downtown section Of the city.

IS CONSIDERABLY MODIFIED
OWING TO THE STATE QUAR- ANriNE, PROBABLY BE RE-
MoVTO WITHIN DAYS.

Quarantine restrictions in Pine
Blum have undergone considerable
modification during the past forty
eight hours. Instructions were issued
TO ali quarantine officers Saturday to
use their own discretion in the matter
of permitting persons to enter the
city without health certificates. and
as a result of the late ruling scores of
people came into town yesterday who
had no certificates, and there were
even those who We're not asked to
show any certificates.
This modification is understood to
be the result Of the state quarantine
put into effect and now being carried
out by the state militia. AS all the
points of entry into the state are be-
ing we'll guarded, the work OF the To-
cal quarantine officers has been
greatly lessened. and the responsible
ity has been removed to very large
degree
The widest rumors continue to be
circulated among the more ignorant
classes. An illustration of this kind
was to be found Saturday morning in
the report that five drummers from
New Orleans had been captured by
the police and had been put In the
pesthouse. Another rumor stated that
a travelling man from Louisiana had
developed full hedged case of the
fever here. 1t is needless to say that
none of the many like rumors had
any foundation in fact
Quarantine officers are still meeting
all trains entering the city. but the
rigidity of their inspection has been
relaxed, and almost anyone who can
produce satisfactory evidence that he
does not come from an infected point
can come into the city now.
There was considerable talk. in an
unofficial way. Saturday about the
quarantine being removed, and this
talk seems to be growing every day.
The Indications now are that all re-
strictions will be removed at an early
date. probably within three days.
