OIL IS PUT IN CISTERNS Ministers From Pulpits Urge Con gregations to Assist In the Ef-t fort Made to Stamp Out the Yellow Fever. SITUATION AT NEW ORLEANS. New cases reported up to 0 P. M. today 27 Total cases to date ......283 Deathn today 3 Deaths to date 57 New foci 3 Total foci 41 NEW ORLEANS. July 30. Though this was Sunday, the work of sanitation, fumi gation, oiling; and screening went on Just the same and will continue daily until the city has been thoroughly screened and made mosqulto-proof. The record for today shows little change from that of yesterday, except deduction of the number of deaths. The decreased number of new foci Is ajso a. new en couragement. A new complication was disclosed today, when Superintendent Cur ran, of the New Orleans & Northwestern Railway, announced" that two passengers tv ho had remained the required length of time in the Slldell detention camp and sought admission into Mississippi had been turned back. Jt the Mississippi health authorities now refuse admission to holders of certificates or detention issued by the Marine Hos pital, it will result in she Goternment abandoning those camps and then trav elers will either have to stay here or go to points in the North and Cast and spend ten days before they can return to Mississippi. he location of the Louisville & Nash ville camp has not yet been fixed, but Dr. Guiteras hopes to get into com munication with Adjutant-General Fridge, of Mississippi, who Is in charge of the state quarantine on the Gulf coast, and finally arrange the matter. The Mis sissippi troops are now doing guard duty on the coast. Statement of Health Officer. City Health Officer Kohkc, who has immediate charge of the situation in the city and who has been subject to sorao criticism from various sources, today gave out the following statement, which shows how the authorities handle the infection as soon as it was discovered: "The first intimation of yellow fever in New Orleans was had on July IS, when two physicians reported two cases of Ill ness resembling yellow fever, which cases were submitted to the president of the State Board of Health at his office. The health officer of the city was summoned immediately and the cases reported, one being already dead at the time, were by him considered, for sanitary purposes, actual yellow fever, and the premises were treated' accordingly; that is, the dis infection methods employed were those against yellow fever Infection. "The diagnoses of these cases being Judged a "matter of later consideration, 1 the health officer immediately instituted j an lnvcstlgaton of the neghborhood sus- I pected of infection and this investigation disclosed evidence pointing to prior cases In the same neighborhood. "All measures were employed against yellow fever infection wherever suspicion pointed. In a few days it was learned that several squares were infected appar ently to a degree justifying the fumiga tion of every hou.e for the possibly ex isting infected mosquitoes. The neigh borhood operated upon is almost wholly Inhabited by an Italian population, many of "vfiom are connected with the handling of bananas and the unloading of such car goes from fruit ships arriving from Cen tral American ports. Every Means Is Employed. "Every means was employed, from soft persuasion to brutal force, to reach In fected places, and the wholesale fumiga tion was In progress during a period of tea days or more, during which period an autopsy demonstrated the nature of the disease, which must have begun at some time during the second half of May. From the infected neighborhood at vary ing times residents removed their dom iciles to other sections of the city and In this way cases of the disease developed in persons infected not only In the Italian district, but residing in other districts at the time of the first appearance of the first symptoms. "Today there are few cases in persons not connected by any known way with the infected district and all cases of the disease known to exist are Isolated and subjected to the proper measures of pre vention based on the mosquito law of transmission. The spread of the disease has not been as great as was at first feared and hope is entertained that it may be controlled. Citizens arc aiding officials. "Besides the sanitary work done by the authorities in the neighborhood contain ing cases of the disease, the citizens gen erally arc entirely engaged In ridding the city of the yellow fever mosquito by the use of oil on water surfaces and the fumigation of dwellings, the object of this being to render barren of yellow fever Infection the sections at present containing no cases of the disease. Quarantine- of Fruit Vessels. "Quarantine methods against fruit ves sels have been made more stringent to prevent the Introduction from Central America and the fruit por,ts generally of yellow fever infection. The situation Is recognized as one offering an opportunity for the people of New Orleans to demon strate their willingness, determination and ability to care for yellow fever after its Introduction and no effort of energy or expenditure of money is spared to attain successful results. So far as Is now known, no infection has occurred from the cases outside of the Infected district, and organization will, it Is expected, be so complete in a short time that the stamp ing out of any such secondary Infection Is not likely. "The impression that the authorities withhold information as to the extent of Infection Is occasioned "by the 'necessary daisy incident to the lave 'Juration upoa the result of which the official report is , based." President Soucben, of the State Board of Health, has also taken cognizance of Governor Vardjynan's comments about evasion and dissimulation and today gave out the following statement: "I most emphatically deny the assertion made by Governor Vardaman of Missis sippi that I knew there were a great many cases of yellow fever In New Orleans be fore the announcement of the fact was made. That assertion is false and erratic and quite In keeping with the well-known temperament of Governor Vardaman. "The first case came tipon me like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. I had not even heard of rumors. As soon as I bad seen four suspicious cases, which all came to my knowledge within four days. I wrote the following letter and sent the following telegram to Dr. Hunter of Mis sissippi. Dr. Taber of Texas, Dr. Sanders of Alabama, and Dr. Wymaa of the Ma rino Hospital service." Dr. Souchcn then quotes nis letter ana telegram notifying them of the presence of cases presenting symptoms of yellow fever. This forenoon, in response to the call of Dr. Souchen, a conference was held to discuss freight and passenger regulations. No representative of the other states was present except Dr. Baxter, of the Ten nessee board, who expressed himself as follows: "I am thoroughly satisfied with every condition I see. both as regards energy and efficiency." Dr. White. "United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, said that freight cars were being fumigated when ever there was a possibility of their con taining Infected mosquitoes and wherever else there was a demand for fumigation on the part of the authorities of the states to which or through which the cars were to run. Care Taken by Railroads. Statements from D. D. Curran, super intendent of the New Orleans & North eastern Railroad; by O. M. Dunn, super intendent of the Illinois Central, and an nouncements by others familiar with the situation, was that every passenger train run out of New Orleans was either sup plied by a shuttle tracing at a point be yond possible infection or was fumigated prior to departure and run closed through the states demanding such regulations. There is much gratification at the action of Texas in raising the quarantine against the state, except at points of infection, which is in line with the statement of Dr. Taber that this course would be taken just as soon as the state was quarantined against the infected points. On the other hand, the Mlsclsslppl authorities are drawing the lines tighter every day, as was Bhown by the refusal to admit pas sengers with certificates from the Slldell detention camp on the New Orleans & Eastern road. Surgeon White has taken this question up with the authorities of Mississippi and hopes to be able to straighten out the tangle. Today, acting on the suggestion of Rev. Dr. Beverly Warner, who Is general su perintendent of the campaign of educa tion, every preacher referred to the work now in hand and In all the Protestant churches the episcopal prayer In times of public emergency was recited. The preachers asked the congregations to lend their assistance to the work of the ward committees which are oiling and screen ing cisterns, and it is believed that this will have a splendid effect. The demand for sixteen and eighteen mesh screen wire has been so great that there is a shortage of it here and cheese cloth is 'being used in many places as a temporary substitute. Suspects Held on Swinburne Island. NEW YORK. July 30. Health Officer Doty visited the quarantine Islands In the lower bay today and shortly afterward three passengers of the steamer Segur anca. namely. Miss Hecker. Henry' Boyd and Miss Wempe, were released, together with the two members of the crew of the steamer Eldorado, which arrived yes terday from New Orleans, and were held for observation, owing to high tempera tures. The four passengers of the Seguranca. detained, at Hoffman Island, are quite comfortable, and If all goes well, will be released probably tomorrow. The ten members of the crew of the Seguranca are pleasantly situated at Swinburne Island, in the two new wards recently erected on the island. Of the number only two are seriously 111. They are Thomas lie Gill, one of the Seguranca's stewards, and Vincent Novo, a fireman. McGIU is resting comfortably and Is somewhat better. Vincent Novo, how ever, is quite III. One physician said he could not definitely state whether these men are suffering from yellow fever. The bacteriological examination would not be completed before tomorrow morning. Area of Disease Restricted. WASHINGTON. July 30. A dispatch was received by Surgeon-General Wyman. of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, from Dr. J. H. White. In charge of the service work at New Orleans to day, telling of the steps taken by Surgeon E. F. Richardson, who Is supervising the work in the Infected district for the City Board of Health. It reports that Thurs day and Friday there were 1S18 houses In spected, 19 cases of sickness were Investi gated, and 2000 or more tanks and cisterns oiled. The officials of the Marine Hospital Service express the opinion that the fact that the area of the disease has been well restricted is an encouraging feature of the present outbreak. But two other places outside of the State of Louisiana, they say. have officially reported a case of the fever, a notable contrast to former out breaks when It spread with greater rapidity. Guarding Against Yellow .lack. MEMPHIS. Tenn.. July 3a The report given out yesterday following the meet ing of the state, city and county Boards of Health regarding the quarantine reg ulations established against New Orleans against fever-Infected districts proves to bo partly erroneous. The official state ment is to the effect that West Tennessee and Hamilton County will close Its doors against the fever districts. No quarantine rules for the entire state have been promulgated. Strict vigilance Is being maintained by quarantine officials who are guarding the approaches from the south to this division of the state. Crew Ilns, Mularial Fever. NEW YORK. July 30. It was announced tonight that of the ten men of the crew of the Seguranca under detention eight were suffering from malarial fever only and that while there was still some doubt regarding the fireman and steward it was probable that they were suffering from the same form of fever. HINT FOR ra British Government Will Send;:: Fleet to Baltic Sea. WILLIAM'S PLAN KNOWN When He First Sounded the Powers on Closing of Baltic, "Word. "Was Immediately Sent Great Britain. SPECIAL CABLE. LONDON. July 3L It Is understood that the British government Is closely watch ing the scheme of the Kaiser to make the Baltic a closed sea. Tho forthcoming visit of the British fleet to the Baltic, it 19 averred here, means that Great Britain desired to convey a gentle hint to the Katsir that the British Foreign Office is fully cognizant of what Is go ing on and that it Intends to check at the very outset anything that might prove detrimental to Britain's power. The Kaiser, It Is absolutely known, be fore conferring with the Czar, caused all of the powers, with the exception of Great Britain and France, to be sounded on the subject of closing the Baltic. That German diplomacy blundered In the matter is sure, inasmuch as Great Britain knew the move as soon as tho advances had been made to the first of the nations. This move on the part of tho Kaiser, while not of Itself unfriendly, yet taken in connection with other matters that have developed, notably, the Moroccan situation, was regarded as prejudicial to England, and the Foreign Office Immedi ately set on foot plans to checkmate the German scheme. The Kaiser's diplomacy Juggling being discovered by the powers approached, thanks to a hint from the British Am bassador, they promptly disavowed all connection with the scheme and the Kaiser was forced to resort to the Czar. Even here he received scant comfort, and telegrams from Stockholm. St. Peters burg, Rome. Paris and other centers In dicate that the Baltic plan has not the slightest chance of success.
