HEALTH OFFICIALS BUSY._
Every Sanitary Precaution Taken—Situa-
tion In Mississippl- Grows Worse.
Many New>'Cases Reported.
Fever Reaches New York.
New Orleans, Sept. 23.——There were,
as usual, no early reports today of new
cases of yellow fever in this city. Three
cases, however, are under close inves-
tigation. One of these is Mrs. A. T.
Wimberly, wife of the Louisiana mem-
ber of the Republican national commit-
tee, Captain Wimberly. .
Among the nine new cases reported
yesterday were Judge Lea, one of the
secretaries of the Cotton Exchange,
and R. F. Reynolds, freight agent of
.the Mississippi Valley railroad. Two
cases have been discharged. Forty
others are steadily improving and are
considered out of danger. Three are
dangerously ill.
The camp of detention was opened
today at Oakland park, and a large
number Of Italian ’men, women and
children will be removed thither and
given accommodations until the fever
is stamped out. The camp has been
"rapidly put in shape, and the refugees
will find comfortable quarters assigned
to them. The spell of cool weather
continues, and the mildness of the 27
cases reported in the last two days is
especially pronounced.
Chief O’Connor has placed another
fire engine at the disposal of a special
volunteer force, and the down town
streets, alleys and back yards are being
thoroughly scrubbed.
Mayor Flower convened a meeting of
the finance committee today, and the
committee, will seek to make arrange-
ments to advance part or all of the
$25,000 which the board of health has
requested to enable it to pay the large
force of sanitary and other help that
is required in handling the situation
here.
Dr. Lovell, son of Colonel Starr Lov-
ell of Mississippi, who has been ill for
more than a week, died today. His
death makes a total of seven deaths
here. He contraced the disease while
attending fever patients.
A second death occurred later, mak-
ing eight in all. It was that of Miss
Elizabeth Nussbaum, aged 17 years, of
1300 Galves street.
New Cases at Edwards, Miss.
Edwards, Miss, Sept. 23.—New cases
of yellow fever‘a‘re reporte‘d as follows:
C. R. Knox, J. E. Boxtel, Miss Down-
ing, R. M. Perry, W. L. Smith, Miss
Rosalie Howell, Harris Howell, Mrs.
Rossman—total eight. Total to date,
80; deaths, one—Miss Anna Henry. To-
tal deaths, three. S. Nathan is report—
ed sinking. ’Doctors say he cannot live.
Mrs.” Greaves is dangerously sick; all
other cases reported as doing well. The
disease is rapidly spreading, and while
it is regarded as a mild type it is feared
it will become more malignant owing
to the cool weather now prevailing.
More than a hundred families inside the
lines are unaffected, with a total of
about 500 souls, and indications are that
nothing but killing frost can allay the
disease.
Dr. Purnell has applied to the How-
ard association of Vicksburg for more
help, doctors and nurses. The Sisters
of Mercy, five in number, from Vicks-
burg, with Father Prendergast, are do-
ing noble work, for which the people
are exceedingly grateful. The two
ministers, Rev. Mr. Galloway and Rev.
Mr. Colmery, are reported convalescent.
Pat Montgomery has been discharged.
Captain Montgomery isstill improving,
but not yet out of danger.
“Yellow Jack” at New York.
New York, Sept. 23.—The Columbian
line steamer Finance, Captain Daly, ar-
rived today from Colon with 18 first
cabin and five second cabin passengers.
There were two cases of sickness dur-
ing the voyage. On Sept. 18 Patrick
Keating, a fireman, became ill and
was removed to the ship’s hospital. On
the same date John Endeman, a stu-
dent from San Jose, Guatemala, aged
20 years, was also taken sick. He was
. isolated from the rest of the passengers,
and on arrival at quarantine the health
Officer had both patients removed to the
Swinburne Island hospital. It was
there reported that they were suffering
from yellow fever in a mild form. The
steamer was detained for a thorough
disinfection, and the passengers were
all transferred to Hoffman island for
observation.
President Wilson of the board of
health, when told that two mild cases
of yellow fever were in port, said that
there was not the slightest ground for
public concern. The quarantine regu-
lations Were adequate and Health Offi-
cer Doty-was thoroughly efficient. Iso-
lated cases occasionally drifted into
this port, and there was no danger that
they would get by quarantine. If they
should, the sanitary conditions of the.
city were so excellent that there was
no danger of the disease spreading.

TOOK HIS SECRET TO THE GRAVE.
Bourbaki Left Metz Before Its Surren-
der—DIission Never Explained.
Bayonne, France, Sept. 23,—General
Bourbaki, who was in command of the
Imperial guard at Metz during the
Franco-Prussian war, but who left that
place on a mysterious errand shortly
before its capitulation, is dead.‘
General Charles Dmis Sauter Bour—
baki was of Greek origin and was born
at Pau, France, on April 22, 1816. Dur—
ing the Crimean war he distinguished
himself at the Alma, at Inkermann and
in the aSSaults on Sevastapol.
When the war between France and
Prussia was declared in July, 1870, Gen-
eral Bourbaki was called to the com-
mand of the Imperial guard and sought
refuge later in Metz with his troops.
Marshal Bazaine caused General
Bourbaki to leave Metz on ‘a secret er-
rand before he capitulated, on Oct. 27,
1870, With his army,
generals. about 6,000 Officers, 173,000
men, including the Imperial guard; 400
pieces of artillery, 100 mitrailleuses and
53 eagles or standards, to the army of
Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia.
According to the generally accepted
belief in the French army for years
after the war, General Bourbaki was
sent by Bazaine on a mission to Napo-
leon or to the Empress Eugenie, and it
has even been stated that it was by
their advice that Metz was surrendered.
This feature of the war, however, has
never been made clear.
Demented Arroyo \Vas Murdered.
City of Mexico, Sept. 23.—Velasquez,
ex-inspector general of police, now in
prison, has confessed that he ordered
the killing of Arroyo, the demented as-
sailant of President Diaz. His servant
admits buying the knives with which
the deed was committed. Velasquez
says the man was not tortured.
A Beneflcent Exemption.
Washington, Sept. 23.—Henry Morris,
United States consul at Ghent, reports
to the state department that the Bel-
gian government has exempted from
building, paving and sewerage taxes
houses erected by workmen for their
own use or by building associations for
workmen’s occupation.

P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
r. Asa AmmthTE—I well-known
‘ on of Jacksonville, Florida,‘was
meg by a terrible ulcer. Medical
so med unavailing in stopping the-
ges of the terrible disease. The
was swollen and intensely painful,
the ulcer had eaten its way down
0 the very bone. All medicines and
.reatineuts having failed to effect a
cn-c, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re-
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fln., July! 1, 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg I ever saw. It had eaten
down to th "bone, and my whole leg
below my ‘nee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot. castile
soap suds. It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-dav
a sound and useful leg.
“ I think 1’. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi-
soning in a. remarkably short time.
“ASA AMMONS.”
TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with soresmtwo
bottles of 1’. P. 1’. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one of
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day—can and
should be removed; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it. a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. , Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. P. P. ‘
