FEVER LIST GROWS.
STRENUOUS EFFORTS MADE TO
CHECK EPIDEMIC.
Disease Has Spread in New Orleans aid
Louisiana-May Run Until Checked
by Its Natural Enemy, Frost-Trade
Is Hindered.

The yellow fever plague seems to be
growing worse from day TO day IN
New Orleans. The only encouragement
offered is that while the plague was
particularly malignant during the early
stages it is no worse than the fever
in 1897. The death rate now is Ii
per cent. During the last two weeks
in July it was % to 30 per cent.
Forty-eight per cent, or AGO cases,
have been discharged as cured; SO per
cent, or 343 cases, are still under treat
ment. Up to Wednesday 963 cases
had been reported.

been apostolic delegate to Cuba and
the Philippines.
If there were any who believed that
the yellow fever epidemic would be
checked as soon as the national health
authorities had assumed charge, they
have been greatly disappointed. The
disease has spread in New Orleans
and in Louisiana. 1t is beginning to
be feared that it may have to run it's
course until overcome by it's natural
enemy, frost. The epidemic had so
strong a hold when it's presence was
recognized that it could not be stamp
ed out at once, no matter what was
done. 1t ought not to have been al
lowed to gain 4 hold in New Orleans.
Probably it would not if the city had
had a better quarantine service. If
that service were to be transferred to
the national government New Orleans
would be less exposed to future yellow
fever visitations.
Although the disease is spreading.
it is fair to assume that it would have
made more rapid progress if the ma
tional health officials had not taken
charge. They have worked systemati-
cally and theoretically and have been
more successful in securing results in
some ways than the local officials have
been. They are more thorough and
have" inspired the public with a greater
degree of confidence. The intense
alarm which was felt in Mississippi
and Texas is subsiding, because the
authorities of those States feel that
everything possible is being done. They
know that there is no suppression of
facts and that the worst is being told
1t will be Il serious matter for New
Orleans if the epidemic is not soon
under full control. The extensive fruit
trade of the city has been stopped and
bananas are becoming a luxury. The
oyster canning industry will be inter
fered with. The business of the city
as a grain exporting point will be af-
fected. Trade will in many ways
suffer more than in preceding yellow
fever epidcmics.
