NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6.-The fever
report today shows a great improve
ment over the middle of the week and
the fact that there were only two new
sub foci, one uptown and one down.
town, is source of special encourage
ment. An effort is being made to de-
termine the number of cases of fever
under treatment, and allowing ten days,
which is a liberal estimate for patient
to either recover or die, it is figured out
that there are 233 cases under treatment.
The marine hospital service has not
yet assumed control of the local
situation, but it is expected to
do so tomorrow. The conditions
precedent to their assumption, how
ever, that the citizens of New Or
leans pledge themselves to put up $780,
600 to defray the cost of labor and ma
terial has been met, and Surgeon White
is in momentary expectation of receiv-
ing the formal order from Surgeon Gem
eral Wyman to take charge.
President Roosevelt and Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman have both been wired by
the citizens committee of New Orleans
that all of the funds that the service
may require outside of it's own stated
expenditures will be supplied by the
people of the city. This action was
taken at noon at special meeting of
the finance. committee held in the St.
Charles hotel.
Surgeon White returned today from
Gulf Port and Ocean Springs, where he
had gone to arrange for the improving
of the camp at Fontainbleau, on the
Louisville & Nashville road, and stated
that he would probably not establish
any camp on the Mississippi coast in
view of the attitude of the people of
ocean Springs and Governor Varda-
mans expressed determination to abide
by their wishes. The camps at Sidell
and Wyman. will be enlarged to accom-
modate such travellers az would have
gone over to camp on the Mississippi
coast.
DIR. Larue announced that Arch
bishop Chappelle was holding his own
and there was no change in his condi-
ton since last night.
Two vessels of the naval brigade, the
Marie S. and Wolverton, returned to-
night from Rigolets, where they had
gone under orders from the governor
to protect the fishermen in Louisiana
waters from the depredations of the
Mississippi patrol boats. The incident
is closed now that the federal govern
ment has charge of the quarantine of
the two states except for the case of
the Tipsey and the two officers under
arrest in st. Bernard parish who were
captured in Lake Borgne.

In a gloomy ward at the county hos

mentality. The attending physician
says her mind is clear and she Is suf-
fering with no arrangement.
In her experience Miss Mann has
seen service which qualities her for the
dangerous undertaking which she is
anxious to begin. She is a southern
born girl and has been through similar
scourges and knows of their dangers.
Realizing that the mission will be
fraught with the chances of death
largely predominant, she insists that
this fact will not deter her in speeding
ito the scourged city Immediately if
furnished with the means of transpor-
tation. She expresses no fear of the
results and begs for the opportunity to
go.
Makes Vow of Conservation
In telling her lifes story yesterday
she said:

vote my life to the care of the plague

NEW YORK, Aug. Gas a result
of battle between members of the
big Chinese societies in the Chinese
theater in Doyer street tonight, three
Chinese were killed, two others prob
ably fatally wounded and many others
injured. When the police succeeded
in breaking up the riot they had ar
rested more than enough inhabitants
Of the Chinese district to fill the Eliza
beth street and other police stations in
the vicinity. According to a report
made by the police the Hip Sing tong
started the trouble and deliberately
selected the Chinese theater which is
seldom visited by. the police, as the
most favorable scene for operations.
The theater holds about 400 people and
on Sunday night when the quarter is
crowded with visiting celestials from
all over the metropolitan district, 1t is
always packed. When the battle be-
gan not a seat was to be had and
iHdfly W6I6 SldllulnSs AIHOllS IuG ldI
ter in the back of the theater were Sc
veral of the Hip Sing tong members
with big 44-caliber revolvers concealed
beneath their flowing garments.
Suddenly, as the actors on the stage
reached climax in the play there was
a loud explosion quickly followed by
several others in the front of the
theater near the stage. The actors
fled in terror and the packed audience
surged as far as it could toward the
rear where several of the Hip Sing
tong began an indiscriminate fusillade
into the throng. 1t developed later
that the first explosions were made by
huge f1recrackers. Finally in despera-
tion the audience charged on the men
with revolvers and bearing them down,
got to the one exit which was open.
There they fought desperately to reach
the street. The first explosions had
startled the quarter, and as the theater
Loured it's frantic crowd into Doyer
street the packed tenement houses,
filled for the most part with Chinese,
but with sprinkling of white men
and women, added their crowds and
for the next hour Chinatown was the
scene of the widest excitement.
When five policemen managed to
force their way into the theater they
found five men lying in pools of blood
and a score were hiding under benches,
the backs of which were splintered
with bullets
In short time the reserves from
Elizabeth street and other stations ar
rived. Two ambulances were called
and the men most dangerously hurt,
four of them were hurried to the hos
pital. Three of them died soon after
reaching the hospital. A squad of po-
lice hastened to the headquarters of
the Hip Sing tong, where they ar
rested three men in the building and
found four others hiding on the roof.
A little later Mock Duck alleged to
be the leader of the Hip Sing tong,
was arrested. The detectives continued
to make arrests of Cinnamon until
more than thirty were in custody. Two
o. the men arrested in the Hip Sing
tong headquarters were taken to the
hospital and it is said were identified
by the wounded as having done the
shooting.

AFRICA HOME OF FEVER
Theory of Officials as to Origin of the
Disease
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The cur
rent number of Public Health Reports.
published by the service presided over
by Gen. Wyman, contains an article
on yellow fever, which is in part as
follows:
1.-The dispatch printed in the present
issue of the Public Health Reports
from the American consul at Goree-
Dakar on the west coast of Africa, an
area of great archaeological interest,
reporting the presence of yellow fever
iE Senegal, with an incidental exodus
of foreigners, draws attention to the
obscure but none the less important
question of the initial home of yellow
fever. Early historians record epi-
denies both in Africa and the West
Indies prior to the advent of the white
proven to be yellow fever, might easily
have been that disease. In favor of
the theory of the African origin of
yellow fever is the circumstance that
when the West Indies were first set
tied the disease was unknown in the
islands; that later 1T broke out, pre-
vailed for a time and then disappeared
and that at the present time most of
the Antilles are unusually healthy for
tropical islands and present no evil
dence of being essentially endemic
seats of the disease. For these reasons
many writer's believe that the original
home of yellow fever must be looked
for outside of America and maintain
that 1t was first introduced into the
western world by slave ships from the
west coast of Africa.
