NEW ORLEANS, Julf 73. (Special.)
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.

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

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.

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

None of the patients nowunder deten

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

whether a prosecution Is. warranted by

in the correspondence between the

In a letter to President Roosevelt from

man says:
Exploited Nitro Culture.
We beg; to call your attention to the mat
ter ot the United States Department ot

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.

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

Dr.. Moore's statement has been pub

It is regarded as not unlikely that oat
of the inquiry which is being made Into
