MANY NEW CASES DEVELOP DAILY
c
Twenty-Six New Cases Are Reportec
and Number of Deaths Grows, but
the Men of Science Still Think th<
Situation Not Beyond Control?All
But Two of New Cases Italians.
xsew urleans, (Special.)?New cases
imported up to 6 p. m. Sunday, 27.
Total cases to date, 283.
Death to-day, 3.
Deaths to date, 57.
New foci, 4.
Total foci, 41.
Of the deaths, one occurred at the
Emergency Hospital and was one ol
the cases transferred there. That instr
tut ion now has 19 cases under treat
ment and discharged its first patient
as cured.
The State board of health divided
the State into districts, comprising
half a dozen parishes each, with a
medical inspector in charge of each
and will immediately investigate al
rumors of yellow fever cases whict
come to light outside of New Orleans
and that part of the State which k
now included in the city for quarautini
purposes.
There is no foundation for the re
port of the case near llorgan City an<
that the body and house had beer
burned. It. has been thoroughly investi
gated.
Although the unotllcial reports
made public showed a larger numbei
of yellow fever deaths than Friday
when there were only two, and th<
appearance of a number of new cases
the men of science who are warring
against the yellow fever plague endec
last week's labors confident that tli<
situation was still well in hand, ant
with no immediate prospects of becom
ing alarming. Saturday's official repori
of Friday's progress of the disease
shows that the entire quarter above
v^anai sweet was tree from a singk
new case, and that the fever was onlj
spre.\ding in the poorer habitations o!
the down town quarter, with new cases
Isolated except in the heart of the
French Market quarter.
VICTIMS MOSTLY ITALIANS.
The health authorities continue tc
hold also that the plague remains ar
Italian infection, all but two of the 2t
eases reported being of that national
ity. Almost without exception since tin
beginning of the fever, those who havt
fallen victims to the disease have beer
of the poorer classes of the population
many of them not long residents o!
the United States, and, therefore, un
acclimated.
For several years the planters ol
Louisiana have been replacing the ne
groes with Italian labor, and there has
been a steady llow of immigratior
from Sicily and other parts of Italy tt
Louisiana. Many of Uie immigrant!
have remained in New Orleans, find
ing employment in the peddling o
fruit or in the work of unloading ves
sols at the fruit wharves. It was amon>
these that the fever first appeared, am
to their laek of acclimation and th<
inadequacy of their treatment hat
been largely due the heavy mortality
that has characterized the present vis
itation of the scourge. Friday's death:
have been principally of Italians. It
two or more cases in the last tw<
days deaths have been reported o
persons who were only reported th<
day previously us having taken tin
lever. There have been concenle<
cases, which the emergency officers
WiMl the as.Os.1 :inr?> nf enwnnro lim-<
disclosed.
The first death in the Emergene;
Hospital occurred. The hospital wa
opened Friday with 1.1 eases, and ai
equal number was added Friday. Inti
the hospital are sent the worst casei
c? unfortunates found without com
forts or medicinal attendance in thel
homes.

Made the Figures Lower Than the
I Facts at Hand Warranted.
Washington. Special.?Assistant Secretary
Hays made the following report
to Secretary Wilson on the acreage of
! cotton In the Southern States In 1905,
as compared with that planted in 1904:
The crop estimating board of the Department
of Agriculture has considered
the report issued by the Bureau of
Statistics on June 2, relative to the
acreage planted in cotton in the South!
em States in 1905, as compared with
' that planted in 1904, and has con
eluded:
First: That a new estimate should
be made on acreage planted, and that
the figures in Mr. Hyde's hands when
I making his estimate should be used as
, the basis.
^ Second: That Mr. Hyde, with Mr.
Holmes at his elbow, prompting him,
j made the estimate lower than the facts
l at his hand from the reports from the
, seven classes of reporters employed by
trie bureau wui ranted.
' Third: The board finds upon careful
consideration of the reports of all
classes of correspondents and agents,
" j that the acreage planted in cotton this
1 year, including the entire season.
1 should have been estimated at S5.1 per
* cent of that planted last year, equivlalent
to a reduction in planted acre5
age as compared with last year of
r 14.99 per cent, (instead of 11.4 per
. cent.) or 4,731,000 acres?the estimate
i of the total acreage planted this year
. being 20,999,000 acres,
t The estimated percentage of the de1
crease in each of the cotton-growing
i States is as follows: Virginia 18; North
i i urounu 10; bouui c>aroiiiui 11; ueur
gia 14; Florida 12: Alabama 11; Mist
sissippi 16; Louisiana 17; Texas 16;
Arkansas 19; Tennessee 13; Missouri
; 15; Oklahoma 15; Indian Territory 11.
; The averages were made for each
r State by each of the four members of
C the board, and the comparatively small
5 disagreements were harmonized almost
, wholly by averaging, and the above
results are fully agreed to by each and
every member of the board.

Notes About Cotton Mills and Other
Southern Industries.
The Columbia State says: Mr. J. A.
Clarkson, of Hopkins, brought to the
city some cpeciments of cotton which
appear to have been withered by lightning
or to have been scalded by the
sun. But the cause of this blight is the
presence of myriads of small white
moths which in a week destroyed a
patch of five acres belonging to a negro.
The moths were first noticed on a
pokeberry bush which they soon destoryed.
and from there they spread
over the cotton field. Another patch
of one acre has also been ruined. Mr.
Clarkson. being the magistrate of that
place, was appealed to. and he brought
?F?.uucuo *->i int; rumen cotton 10 lir
city. Mr. J. W. Bauer, section director,
upon seeing the cotton stalks, state3
tliat the matter should he referred to

College, the State entomologist. Mr.
Clarkson will meet at the station any
representative of the government or of
Clemson College who will make an examination.

A HORRIBLE DEATH
; Young Man Swallowed Alive By a
Hungry Shark
WAS CAUGHT NEAR BEAUFORT, N,C,
Sutton Davis, 16 Years Old, Carried
Away by a Large Shark, Which Attacked
the Boy While He Was Wad..Ing
in the Water at Davis' Shore.
Beaufort, N. C., Special.?A most
horrible and shocking occurrence took
place at Davis' Shore, about ten miles
east of Beaufort, Saturday afternoon,
when Sutton Davis, a 16-year-old lad,
while wading and playing in the water,
was suddenly attacked and eaten by
a very large shark.
Young Davis was in water about
waist, deep when suddenly the shark
approached him, throw him in the air,
caught him as he struck the water,
pulled hiin under and disappeared in
the deep water with the boy. Thorough
search has been made, but no
particle of his body has been found.
Those who were with the boy were
terribly frightened and could not help
him.
The occurrence has thrown a feeling
of horror over our town. The
citizens and the guests of the community,
particularly the children, have
enjoyed the fine dives and invigorating
swimming matches which they
daily participated in.
A large number of sharks have been
noticed in the waters here for two
weeks, but no one felt much anxiety
on account of the presence of the terrible
monsters. A large quantity of
fat-backs have been caught this month
and a quantity of refuse matter has
been thrown back into the water from
the factories, and sharks have come
in to feast on it. It is the first time
a person has been molested by a shark
in these waters in nearly 50 years.

Mr. Sato said that while a desire for
