NINE DEATHS MONDAY.

 Infection Reported.

New Orleans, August 22-The follow ing was the situation here yesterday: New cases, 61; total to date 1.4t6. Deaths. 9; total deaths. 205 New focl, l62 total foet 322 Cases remaining under treatment. 32S
 Though there was an increase both in the number of new cases and of fatalities, hopefulness continued to peryade the federal headquarters touching the local fever situation. The Monday list is always large. It was in the epidemic of 1878 That is attributed to the fact that the work of inspection is not as thorough on Sunday. and only the reports which come from physicians are to be de pended on In the matter of deaths uniformity is unusual from day to day, because the condition Of patients is so largely affected by meteorological and other conditions
 The federal authorities have not reached a point where they are will ing to prophecy the complete exter- imitation of the disease before frost comes to destroy the bulk Of the re- maining infected mosquitoes. but they feel there is reason for the prediction that a repetition of serious epidemics of the past is no longer to be reekoned with. In this connection unusual pre- cautions, under the supervision of the marine hospital service or otherwise, are to be taken to prevent a recur- renee of the fever next spring It has been demonstrated by the scientists that the stegomyia hbernates A watch will be kept next spring and if any cases appear they will have i'm mediate attention.
