OFFICIAL RECORD TO 6 p. M.

1Our QedtnS were uoWh to"h, ehN e"N of them were Italians.
 The family from Rosetta. Miss, who were admitted to the hospital in deten- ton. are still in good health, and the l average period for the development Of infection has passed. They will remain until Thursday.
 Surgeon White went to Covngton and Abita Springs. taking in the situation | there, and says that there is nothing 1 alarming in 1t. Another case was reported from there by the health officer who says he traced 1t directly to New Or 1 leans.
 New Point of Infection.
 For the first time in a week new l point of infection was reported rom | the state. Two cases were reported rom l New Iberia, which up to now has ap- parently free from infection. An un- usual question was put up to the state 1 board in connection with it. A man who lived in the infected neighborhood was in another part of the city when the 1 health authorities put on quarantine i When they discovered him outside or the i lines they tried to force him to return 10 his home, but he refused and appealed to the state board. The attorney of the state board gave 1t al his opinion that he could not be forced back into the l lines. but they could keep him under l observation.
 The country reports were as follows; Kenner, new cases.
 Near Plattenville. ? new cases.
 Barrataria, 1 new case.
 Covington, 1 new case.
 l New Iberia, 2 cases.
 Fishers camp. 1 new case.
 The reports from Mississippi were as l follows:
 1 Vicksburg. 4 new cases: Natchez, 6 new cases; Port Gibson, new cases; Gulf port new cases.
 Employees to Be Discharged.
 As a result of the order pr. White put ting an end to the general dislnfectlon and oiling by the marine hospital about three hundred men employed by the ser vice will be discharged. The order of pr. White has no reference to the cltizens cleaning and oiling where necessary, but the federal authorities consider the fever now to be so completely under control l that 1t is unnecessary to do the general work for which large forces of men have been employed.
 For many weeks past wherever a new focus has appeared every house in the square has been repeatedly disinfected l and this system has contributed largely l to the destruction of mosquitoes and the l gradual suppression of the disease, but l these extraordinary precautions are no l longer deemed essential because aside l from the fact that the sickness Is wan | ing, under the mosquito theory stegoyma which become infected from now on will not be able to transmit the disease for | twenty days after infection which will carry the fight close to the frost period. Cases are still appearing and will con l tinue to appear for some time but they are generally secondary or tertiary infec- tfrta nd fnpi np1u fap There may be from nvw on fluctuations in the number of deaths from the dimin- ishing number of cases under treatment due to extreme temperature changes, but pr. White believes that the crisis has long since passed and that there is q probability that practically every case will have disappeared before frost. Many sections of the city are now so free from infection that there Is to be still further consolidation of ward organizations.
 Fight Has Been Success.
 Even if sporadic cases do appear until frost comes the federal officials deem that the fight here has been almost a complete success for the fever has been brought under control under the most adverse conditions and almost stamped out at a period when 1t Is usually raging fiercely and with a death rate com paratively small, the probability now be- ing that the total number of deaths will fall under 300 for the entire period Of the epidemic.
 'The credit Is due in every way tc the people of New Orleans" said pr White today. "rhey deserve the praise | They assisted us in every conceivable manner All we had to was to say what Vt wanted done and with rare exceptions il was done In a trice The people of New Orleans have taught the world lessor and think 1t will not soon forget

Improvement Is general in Jef ferson, except at Grand Isle and Wills wood plantation. though the fever is com ing under control at both places. An ad ditional nurse was sent to Willswood to ] day.
 The state board of health today raised the quarantine against Glenwild and Riv erside plantations. in St. Mary parish. ant I.ecompte, In Rapides, no infection havn, appeared for twenty days. Glenwid anC Riverside for a time presented bad nest. of infection and are examples of wha can be accomplished by liberal expendi lures and hearty cooperation In the mat ter of mosquito extermination.
