YELLOW FEVER SERIOUS.
Death Rate Increases Daily at
New Orleans
New Orleans, La., Aug. 8.-
The New Orleans authorities
have turned the yellow fever
situation over to the Federal
Government, owing to the latter
being better prepared to handle
the situation. The death rate
continues to increase rapidly and
it is feared the disease will be
wide spread before it is stepped.
New Orleans and the entire
state of Louisiana is quarantined
and every possible means is be-
ing put forth to check the fur-
ther spreading of the disease.
Some cases are also reported at
Shreveport and Bunkie, La., al-
though it is not believed they
will spread further at present.
