New Orleans. August 21.--An analysis OF
the figures shows that there is no check
to the hopeful feelings which have been
produced by the small reports for the
past few days. There has been a steady
but slow dlminution of the cases under
treatment. The number of foei is mis-
leading, for 1t equals the number of cases
under treatment A great many of these
focl have been absolutely wiped out but
they still figure in the records and repre-
sent every spot in the city where a case
of fever has developed.
OF the new points of infection today,
five are up town, ten down town and one
nFAlgers. across the river. OF the names
on the list there are very few of any
prominence. one case was taken OFF the
steamship Excelsior. which arrived from
havana Thursday and left Saturday, ar
riving at Havana this morning. The man
Is sailor, and was taken to the Marina
Hospital. where his case n,as d,aynosad 90

accepted period of incubation, the man
could not possibly have contracted the
disease in New Orleans, If he was on
the ship when she made her last trip OF
the deaths, two took place in the Marine
Hospital and three I'm the Emergency Hos
pital. All but one of the others were
down town. One OF the deaths was the
gardner of the French asylum on St Ann
street. where there have been half a
