nj EW ORLEANS, Aug. S.-If the prs
IN ent chaotic condition of quarantine
matters in Louisiana is not speedily
! terminated, in obedience to a proclama-
ton issued today. the state board of
health has announced its intention of
| Immediately invoking the civil powers,
and that falling. of asking Governor
| blanchard TO cali out the militia and
| restore and maintain order. The pro-
ciamation resulted from the letters sent
yesterday by the governor to President
Souchon. The proclamation prohibits
any town, parish or village from re-
fusfng admission to a person from a
non-infected locality holding health
/ certificate not over twenty-four hours
old. or to person from an infected To-
cal1ty who has spent six davs IL a
detention camp, and been discharged
with marine hospital certificate
Interference Forbidden.
Interference with the passage of
steamboats, or trains is forbidden I'M
less they violate legal quarantine regu-
iations. No mail. freight or express
matter, shall, under the proclamation
be refused from infected territories pro-
vided it is carried in cars which have
. been fuInigated by the marine hospital
service. All persons who disregard
these regulations. under the sennbiance
OF boards of health. or mass meetings.
are warned that they make themselves
liable TO answer in the courts. It is
announced that no more illegal restric-
tiOns on travel or commerce will be
tolerated.
1t is understood that the action taken
by the board of health has the fun SYM
PATTY of Governor Blanchard and that
as "A result at least in Louisiana there
will be modification of the present
onerous guarantees.
Aspect Not So Favorable.
Because/of the large number of cases
reported the fever situate did not
have so favorable an aspect today. but
II is expected that the increase is the
result of the investigation of a number
of suspicious causes of sickness some
of which the health authorities were
unable to inquire into yesterday. The
inspectors of the marine hospital ser
vice spent much of the day in their in5
vestigation and their reports showed an
increase in the number of cases from
noon to o'clock. The federal authori-
ties have determined 10 treat every
case presenting any symptoms of vel
low fever as actually yellow fever. pre-
ferring to take no risk of falling
through want of vigilance. DIR. White
said if he knew of every case of fever
at present in the city as well as every
case that had existed he would feel
that the disease could ne stamped out
in thirty days. His policy therefore is
TO locate every possible focus of infec-
ton at once so that every precaution
NAV be taken to prevent additional in
lection.
Money Pledged.
Practically all doubt of the raising of
the fund of a quarter of a million dol
lars desired by the government was
removed today when both the state and
city moved to assist the citizens of
New Orleans. Governor Blanchard
whom Chairman Janvier of the Citizens
committee had asked to advance $780,
OO0, wired Mr. Janvier that he would
make the loan as soon a he heard from
a sufficient number of the mem bers Of
the Legislature IL they will support an
appropriation of 500. 900. Affirmative
answers are being received. In addi-
ton to this action of the governor. the
city took steps TO swell the fund. With
$4,000 originally in the hands Of the
citizens committee 500 600 is in sight.
Busy Day For Surgeon White.
Surgeon White put in a hard half
days work here and in the afternoon
took a train for Lafayette La to at
tend a conference of various health
boards in that section Of the state
called with a view to securing an
amelioration of quarantine regula-
tions. DR.. White expects that by to-
morrow nigh. all of the additional
health officers which the governor has
ordered to New Orleans will be here
and ready to begin work. 1t is con-
