FIGHTING YELLOW FEVER.
FIfty-four Deaths and Over One Hun
dred Gases at New Orleans.

New Orleans, July 26.-Last night.
in response to the request of the State
Board of Health, the City Board of
Health compiled the figures of suspi-
cious and actual cases of yellow fever
and deaths and the figures as issued
by the state board show between July
18th and July 21st- there were about
100 cases suspicious and positive and
twenty deaths.
Since then there have been fifty-four
cases and twelve deaths up to the
oath, making, all told, 154 cases and
thirty-two deaths.
Yesterday there were two deaths.
making thirty-four to date. There are
about fifty cases under treatment. DR..
George B. Young. United States ma
rine hospital service, has been as
signed to take charge of the inspection
of trains, to cooperate with the states
and localities which have instituted
quarantines, and he will make his
headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi.
Prompt daily reports hereafter will
enable the health authorities to keep
an accurate record.
In yesterdays mail was sent out a
circular to every physician in the city
urging the prompt report of all cases
of fever, typhoid, malarial, yellow and
otherwise, so that the appearance Of
new foci may be Immediately establ-
lished, screened and watched.
The doctors are also asked to sur
-ender any individual opinions they
may have and to cooperate with the
state and federal authorities in as
rigid an application as possible of the
mosquito theory.
Subscriptions are being taken to a
fund of 100000 for the maintenance
of a detention hospital. Sanitation in
the French market quarter, where the
disease incubated, continues. That
section is now probably in a more
cleanly condition than it has been at
any time since the war.

Kaiser and Gar Meet.

Berlin, July 25.-The foreign office
here is advised that a meeting between
Emperor William and Emperor Nicho-
las took place early yesterday off the
Swedish coast near the island of Bjoer-
koe.
The meeting of the two emperors
took place on the initiative Of Emperor
Nicholas.
The prevailing idea is that the Rus
sian Emperor desired an outside opin-
ion from ruler of his own rank on
the Internal situation in Russia. His
invitation to Emperor William is re-
garded as being the result of friend
ship and confidence in him.
Although the meeting is considered
as being of high Importance for Russia
1t cannot signify any change in Ger
many's policies toward Japan or Rus
sia. Emperor William had not seen
the Russian Emperor since the autumn
of 1903, at Wiesbaden. The German
Emperor went within easy distance OF
st. Petersburg because it would be i'm
polite for Emperor Nicholas to leave
the country and visit German waters.
The meeting is-a sequence to the cor
respondence that has been going on be-
tween the two EN- oerors concerning
peace in which Emperor William urged
Emperor Nicholas to take steps toward
peace.

BIG OIL TANKS BURN
LARGE LAKES OF BLAZING OIL.
Millions Of Barrels Of Oil Destroyed at
Rumble, Texas-TweIve Lives
Reported Lost.

humble. Tex, July 25.-Fire started
SUNDAY In tank belonging to the
texas Oil Company, caused by light
ming striking the oil. 1t was held in
check for several hours, but finally
spread over large area.
covering an area of three-quarters
OF mile square. with a great canopy
OF smoke covering two square miles,
the OIL tanks of the Texas company
continue to boil and bubble under the
great heat Of the burning oil, the fire
having burned since Sunday.
Wnen 1t can be extinguished no one
guesses. Certainly not until 1t has
burned all of the oil in the eleven big
tanks. which held 2,500,000 barrels
when lightning struck them Sunday
afternoon.
The losz Of life in the oil fields an
near as can be ascertained is twelve,
but no names can be ascertained. The
company declines to make any esti-
mate OF its loss or to give out any IN
surance figures, but oil men place the
loss at 100000 barrels of oil. valued
at $562,5OO; pumping plant, damage
to tanks. mules, ETC., at $4,000 or
more. It is reported that the fire has
spread to the tanks of the Guffey COM
pany. The property loss. therefore.
will be enormous.
There are hundreds of homeless peo-
pie, many of whom are only awaiting
train to go to Houston for shelter.
They were living in tents and shacks
in the oil field and fed for their lives
to the town, away from danger. They
left all their belongings and they have
been destroyed by fire. which runs out
toward the oil field, though it has not
been communicated to any of the der
ricks or wells.
Shortly after the big tank began to
blaze 200 workmen with seventy-five
mules were hurried to tie place to
throw up earthen embankments to con-
fine the fire to the tank where it origk
mated.
Some of them mounted mules and
got out. but at least forty of the
mules balked and were cremated.
Five negroes were seen to go down
then and it is not believed possible
they could have escaped.
