New Orleans, St'pt. 29.—To-day has been a record breaker in the number of oases of yellow fever reported, while the deaths equa led in number those ot any day since the yellow fever was tirst discov ered in the city. Various reasons are given for the spread of the disease, but the principal ones are two; that the weather turned warm again and, owing to the much wider held to cover, the board of health has had some difficulty in getting every house as closely guarded as was possible when the cases here were few in number and the trained officials of the board were stationed about the quarantined houses. The fact that the death rate has been small and that the chances of an epi demic have been constantly grow ing less, have made the general public somewhat careless and there has been increasing friction between the quarantined people and the authorities, imprissd in mates of houses have been going over back fences and sneaking out of side doors in order not to be honfined and the result has been that more germs have b<»eu scat tered and rapidly developed in three warm days. In no other season hare the authorities beeu more strict in quarantining houses tt uU isolating inmates who flight be around the sick-and the result has been that every possible effort is being made by certain elements of the communi ty to get the better of toe board. The iucreasiug number of cases here has caused no general alarm, because the increase of deaths has not been in proportion. The death rate is a trifle under 12 per ceut., When 5 or 6 days ago it was shown tZ be above 15. The conclusion, therefore, is natural that there is no increase in the malignancy of the disease. The authorities here still believe that for some time longer the new cases will occasion ally exceed the puraber on the books to-day, but they are singu larly one in the opinion that the disease cannot attain the propor tions of an epidemic. Yesterday there were 4 deaths and 25 new cases. An onset at Mobile. Mobile, Sept. 29.—Yesterday’s report of 10 new cases was offset to-day by a report of four. The only death in the 24 hours endiug at noon was Brother Syuphoriau at the industrial gardeus, report ed last night.
