FEVER SITUATION AT 6 P. M.

New orleans, September n.-Ihe re- mort of no deaths today the nrst tiiiie since the announcement of the presence oi the fever here on July 21, when contrasteo with the record of 1878, presents quite coincidence because September H. B'o' was the reeord day for deaths during that epidemic, ninety being recorueu' <ie reports seven new cases today VI 'no new foci. only two are above Canal street. Four are in Algiers.

 Country Cases.
 The most interesting feature Of the country news was the report rom the health office of St. John parish of the ex- istence of about 9 cases at Lions, lumber town in that parish, and his state ment that the patients were not being properly cared for and that they had been concealing the illness. He has taken charge of things there and today re- ported three new cases.

 Italians Grow Careless.
 The fact that the general mass of the people are not working with the same cal that marked the earlier stage of tpe fight is given by the authorities as 5ne of the reasons why yellow fever here Is not declining as steadily as 1t was a couple of weeks ago. The death rate continues to be exceedingly low, because the fever Is now only occasionally found among the Italians, but there are more new cases reported daily than the marine hospital authorities expected would be the case at this time.
 confidence Is responsible for the check in the excellent progress hereto fore made. People in some walks of life drew from the fact that September marked an improvement rather than an increase of the virility of the disease. the conclusion that the fight was won and that there was no need to keep up the high pressure of the past, and this has been to a certain extent disappointing to the authorities. Screens have been per mitted to become damaged without being promptly repaired, water containers nave been allowed to fill without being emptied, there has been a reduction in oiling, and with the steady rains that have prevailed there has been a natural increase in the stegomyia.
 The consequence has been much sick ness that could have been guarded against If ordinary precautions had been taken.
