provement in the yellow fever situa- tion was maintained today with an other exceedingly low record, the death column again indicating that very little actual fever is prevailing in New Orleans, and that of an exceeding ly mild type. pr. White, however, does not desire the impression to go abroad that any claim Is yet made that the fever has been completely eradicated. Discussing the situation, he said:
 No matter how optomistic we feel, nor how bright the situation. 1t is i'm possible to announce at this time that the fever has been stamped out, al- though. as a matter of fact. we are all sure that within a few days we will have reached the stage where an oc- casional sporadic case will be reported.
 Tt must be remembered always that twenty days at least must elapse after the Immigration following death or dis charge of the last case before it can be positively and unequivocally known that the fever is utterly stamped out. It Is admitted by scientists that a sec ondary or tertiary infection can de- velop upon the twentieth day, but l have never heard of any case being discovered after the twentieth day.
 This much I will say, and say 1t AhOob BldoLy, that SO dS CdI D6 IOTS- told now, there is no more reason to fear the report of new cases to any extent in the future. It may be week or two weeks, or even longer, before
 the last case is reported: but when only five or six cases are reported daily, the world will be much more than willing to admit that such small number of cases need not be taken into consideration"
 While the Marine Hospital Service has discontinued the general fumiga-
 tion which was in effect for many weeks, disinfection Is still being car ried on by the forces employed wher- ever there are squares containing cases of fever. The object Is both to prevent further spread at this time and pre- vent infected mosquitoes from seek ing cover during the winter months. Orders have been issued by the Ma rine Hospital Service to close the Ken ner hospital to further admissions and
 to wind up its existence when the thirteen cases now there have been discharged. The equipment of the in
 stitution was taken from the first hos pital established here and will be ship ped back and stored until the perma- nent isolation hospital has been erect ed. Kenner Is ten miles above New Orleans. and it's patients have come from all the surrounding country, but nearly all that section Is now free of fever. .'**.
 The gradual eradication of the fever in both Louisiana and Mississippi is curtailing the work of the Federal sur geons, but 1t Is not expected that any of the physicians who are now here will be sent back to the points from which they came until after the de- parture of the President from New Or leans. Though the fever Is declining, work here is to be kept up to a high pitch to guard against any early re- crudence of fever.
 There were no developments today in the quarantine situation. though the express companies formulated lists of the stations which they serve in Lou isiana and Mississippi They show that a large number of towns are now
 letting in goods which formerly bar red them. The express companies have persistently kept up their missionary work of educating the country people tc the fact that there Is little danger to be feared from the transmission of in-
