There were 3 new cases or yellow ieer reportea In this city today, and seven deaths resulted, despite the efforts put forth by Jhe authorities to ch,eck the spread of the dread malady. The alarming-feature of the new cases discovered Is that they are In houses hith erto exempt from the disease, proving that the-, disease Is spreading. From sur rounding towns, also came reports of cases of the disease being discovered. One at the Willis Wood plantation, Jefferson Par ish, an .Italian who came from the orig inal Infected locality in this city. Is re ported at the point of death. The planta tion has been quarantined. Several Italian cases at Lake Pontchar- traln are. under Investigation. Officials of the Board of. Health declare that all of the cases originated In this city, and the disease spreads among the panic-stricken and Irifectel Italians.'- This being the case. thesis 'nothing left for 'the authorities to do but o round up" all tie "New Orleans Italians, "quarantine them and stamp out l-theidlsease by rigorous methods. Fever In Mississippi. Mississippi now has ia-;genlilne case at Lumberton that, came from an Italian quarter. This, the first week of -the yellow fever scare nl ISOu. has also developed cases In Bayou G&Iou, Port Barrow, Bcwle and Bunkle. This gives an Idea, of the progress of the disease. Of yesterday's deaths, all were Italians'. Of the new cases, five were above Canal street, one a. prominent lawyer, residing on Calhoun, street; the other . that of servant girl who had gone down in the Infected district to'epend a-nlght with rel atlves. The lawyer wasVbltten by a mos quito while In the lafectcd neighborhood on business. Dr. J. H. White, of the United States Marine Hospital Service, made the admis slon today that Dr. Tabor, of Texas, had shut the gates tight against this city, and that no passengers from New Orleans would be allowed to , pass through the State of Texas, even though bound for California points. Mississippi took pre cisely the same action, effective at o'clock tonight. , Dr. Hunter notified the State Board of Health that na"passcngera on trains from New Orleans would be. allowed even to ride through the state, although they might not want to leave the cars, unless they could produce certificates of health signed by the proper -officials. Itcfnscs Physicians Admission An Italian In St. Brand Parish, In one of whose' houses a case of suspicious sick ness was reported, had a serious clash with the officers, to whom he denied ad mission to bis house. Dr. Meraux. parish health officer. Sheriff Nunez asd Deputy Sheriff Serpas went down-to the-settle ment and exDlalned their mission. The Italian backed hlmselup on his porch arid refused Utera admittance to the house, when the officers walked In he blew a bugle, sounding- a call to arms on. the part of the entire Italian village. A score of men responded and a Sght ensued, In which women and children clung to the men's legs aJ prevented the officers using their guns. Finally two of the des perate Italians were arrested, one with pistol In his hand, and the mob dispersed. Advices received late tonlgat from VIcksburg state that twe suspicious cases. believed to be yellow fever, have been dis covered there. State Health Officer Hunt er, of Mississippi, has ordered the ssepects Isolated, protected from the mbqultoes and all communication with them cut off. The people of VIcksburg are greatly alarmed over. the appearance of yellow fever, as they had coaplete reliance or Governor Vardaman'a sAotguR quarantine against New4 Orleans..

Eight more of the crew, who had been HI during the voyage, but were convalescent, andsven passengers, two frOBBv the cabin, all of whom showed In creased temperatures, were taken to Hoff man Island for detention until the re- , suits of blood examinations are known. In addition to these, two suspects were taken to Hoffman Island today from the steamer "El 'Dorado from New Orleans, and there, remain on the Islands 12 cases from the steamer Avona, which recently arrived from Colon. AH the suspects" "held yesterday from the steamer Alamo, from Galveston, Tex., were- released today. None of the patients nowunder deten tion. Is regarded as being dangerously . 111. but. there Is apprehension that there-may exist among them cases of an Insidious ly dangerous form of yellow fever the ambulant stage In which the patient walks about, feeling only slightly 111. but Imperiling .all xwlth whom -he" ,comes In contact. "Too health officials tonight are making the" most thorough tests for this type of yellow fever among the . ten members of the Seguranca's crew, be cause four of this crew were taken off at Colon, actuallv suffering with yellow Jack. Dr. Doty believes that within 24. hours ihls tests will show that the remaining sick from the Seguranca are merely suf fering from an epidemic of low fever, which is quite common on vboard ships arriving in New York- from the Isthmus. "The two worst cases." he said, "may possibly be yellow fever, but even this Is not likely! Eight of the crew were about as sick five days ago as are. the twa who were carried to the hospital to day. These eight are now muclr Improved"! a condition which would be quite unlikely If. yellow fever had been their ailment There Is good reason to Delleve, there fore that the other two sick men who jbecame 111 only two or three days ago have the same complaint, and will re cover Just as rapidly. I feel quite con fident tha the- eight convalescents are .not yellow- fever cases, but I will make no definite statement either that It Is or Is not yellow fever until the blood and other tests settle the matter inclusively.' All of he IT passengers and crew taken i ram tne HCguranca were tonight re ported to be doing well and showing no symptoms of yellow fever, except two of the crew, whose cases- are stUl doubtful. One of the cabin passengers held for observation Is Miss. Hectzle.a- trained nurse, who has been employed on the isthmus. Two other cabki passengers held at Hoffman's Island are Henry Boyd.

The decision of the conference of health, authorities at Memphis to recommend a quarantine of the entire state of Tennessee asalnst Infected 'points Is evidence, of " the "spread of panicky feling outside of New Orleans. Every day now some half-dozen little towns are suddenly scratched off the list of ODen towns, and very often the em bargo Is flapped on so suddenly that pas sengers are ieit mere witn ucKets ai ready purchased. Local representatives of lines which run through Mississippi were advised In' tele grams today that no person from New Orleans would be permitted to travel in train, through . that , state without a health certificated- This affects through passengers bound for the North, East and West. Before they had received these orders tlcketVqfflces here had sold large numbers of tickets to people who were to leave tomorrow and Monday and were busy trying to locate these .ticket holders In order to, save them from being taken from New Orleans and thrown Into detention camps In the adjoining states. SOLDIERS PUT IN CHARGE. Governor Vardaman 'Will Support Quarantine "With Bayonets. GULF PORT. Miss., July 29. Governor Vardaman, acting for the State Board of Mississippi, has appointed Adjutant- General Fridge In charge of the . state quarantine service, and all future aggres sions against the yellow plague In Mis sissippi will be conducted under the aus pices of the Adjutant-General's office. The advance detail of officers and men sta-A tloned at Camp B. F."Ward, who were preparing the camp grounds for the en campment of the Mississippi-, National Guard will be utilized to supplant the civil force now on duty throughout the state- and the most stringent quarantine will be maintained In the state. General Fridge has issued Imperative orders to the soldiery to maintain the quarantine at the point of the bayonet. An ordinance was passed to the effect that aay person making a statement about yellow fever at Gulfport that was proved to be untrue would be fined $50 to $100. The .citizens . of Gulfport have offered money to protect the coast. Drsv Wasdln and Donnelly, of the Ma rine Hospital Service, are here, and state that under present conditions there is no chance for yellow fever to get on the coast. The case of yellow fever In a house about a ralle from Lumberton has. been surrounded with soldiers to prevent the disease from spreading. The revenue cut. ter Winona has beea ordered to Gulfport, and Captain Jones' has sent hls launch here to protect this port. Exposnreof' Methods of Agrlcultara Department Official ZLeacls. to Resignation Attorney-General Considers' Case. OYSTER BAY, July 29. An Invest! ga'tfon of the case of George T. Moore, physiologist and algologist of the De partment of Agriculture, who resigned yesterday. Is to be made by Ihe, De partment of Justice to determine whether a prosecution Is. warranted by rJte facts. .This was clearly Indicated in the correspondence between the President and Secretary Wilson, publi cation of which was made by the Pres ident. It appears from this and ac companying papers that the first sug gestion toward looking Into the bureau In which Dr. Moore was employed came In a letter to President Roosevelt from T. D. Harman, manager of the Na-. tlonal Stockman and Farmer, undet date of July 15. In his letter Mr. Har man says: Exploited Nitro Culture. We beg; to call your attention to the mat ter ot the United States Department ot Agriculture In connection wltM the develop ment and exploitation of nttro culture. We have abundant evidence to convince us that Employes of the department have been un duly interested In Arms which have been organtzd to. develop and sell these cultures to farmers and others" at exorbitant prices. As to the exploitation of the merits of nitro culture, we beg- to call your attention to an article appearing In Pearson's Magazine for AprI. 1005. and other articles which ap peared In the Century and other magazines, with which you are no doubt familiar. These articles were read and approved (at least passively) by the employes of the de partment before they appeared In the maga zines. No- argument Is necessary- to s)(ow lhat. they are misleading and 'the damage following such publication to our agricul tural Interests would be' hard, to estimate. ,We made personal investigation about April I3 We enclose herewith our report oa .the same.., We are convinced that we were misled, and bur Intense desire to do no one any Injury led us to make the--report a favorable to the department as possible. Since publishing these articles we have evi dence to convince us, that our first Impres sions were correct and that employes of the department were Interested In the manu facture and sale of nitro culture. We are ready to offer proofs In regard to these statements and are willing to meet you for a personal Interview if you desire same at any time you may command. Moore Promptly Resigns. . This letter, with" the accompanying papers, was referred by President Roose velt, on July 17, to Secretary Wilson with a request that a report be made to him on the subject. The report reached the President today In the form of the fol lowing letter from Mr. Wilson to Acting Secretary Barnes r i Dear Mr. Barnes: 1 received from you a few days ago certain papers, herewith re turned, coming to the President from the Axtell Bush Pump' Company, of Pittsburg, relative to the development and explolta-foa of nitro culture In this department. I have looked into the matter, and today George T. Moore brought me his resignation, which X accepted and of which I send you a copy, t will send a copy of the papers to the De partment of Justice and have them deter- pmine whether the" case requires, action bjr them. Very truly yours, JAMES WILSON. -His Wife a Stockholder Together .with a copy of Dr. Moore's resignation, "which was published today, Mr. Wilson "sent to the President a copy of Moore's statement made to the Sec retary in defense of his alleged connec tion with the nitro culture concern- That statement Indicates that Moore's super iors in the Department of Agriculture were cognizant for a long time of his de- sire to leave the ..department to Identify himself with the Nitro Culture Company I unless he could secure a promotion, but" m it Moore expressly says uiai iuss su periors did not know his wife was a stockholder In the company, or that a considerable block of the stock had been reserved for him. For some reason, which Is", not explained, Moore neglected to ln form his superiors on that, very material nolnt. Trrcfiitfrin .fav "Follow. Dr.. Moore's statement has been pub lished. It is regarded as not unlikely that oat of the inquiry which is being made Into Dr. Moore's connection wjth, the Nitro' Culture Company may grow some sensa tional disclosures.
