McLaurin Gets Shut Oat of the Capi tol—No Fever In Kansas City—A Action of Arkansas. New Orleans, Sept. 18.—A visit to ’the board of health at 1 p. m. disclosed the fact that three new cases of yellow fever had been declared up to that hour. One new case is on Hospital street, a Sather dangerous quarter. Information concerning it was received at 10 o’clock. The other two cases are Marie Dubois, -.a child, and O. H. Gorman. The Hospital street case is Santo Graffato. None of the cases under treatment have terminated fatally during the day, and the sick, except in two or three instances, are doing well. Marion Dowden, member of Ouachita guards, doing quarantine duty, was fa tally shot by Henry McCormick. It was an accident. The bofiPS of health urges that meet ings. whether social, fraternal, or other wise, be avoided or postponed as much as possible, that remaining in the night air be avoided as much as possible and enjoining the public to use filtered, dis tilled or boiled water. No steps have as yet been taken to close the theatres, which are nightly thronged with peo ple, but if the fever should spread it is anticipated that the management of the playhouses will be asked to suspend temporarily. The old marine hospital, which has ' been selected as a hospital for ye’.low fever patients, is in a comparatively isolated locality in the rear of the city, and the city, which owns it, has ten dered its use to the board of health. No patients have yet been received, but the place will be rapidly gotten in readiness for the reception of the sick. A close watch is being kept by the authorities at West End and other points to prevent schooners from the infected points on the gulf coast from slipping in. Charcoal, oyster, lumber and other trades on the coast has been seriously interfered with. Many cirizeus have volunteered as sanitary officers. The board of health is, however, exercising much oare in making selections of these officers, since upon their efficiency the efforts of the board to stamp out the disease largely depends. It was decided by the board that only trained and acclimated nurses should be allowed to attend yellow fe ver patients, in order that infection ■light be prevented from spreading. Kailroad traffic here has dropped to little or nothing. CANNOT ENTER THE CITY. Oor.rHor McLaurin Denied A.lnil—lon tu the Cspitel of it I* Own •’’Ute. • Jackson, Mias..

Washington, Sept 18. —Generel Fitz hugh Lee, consul general to Cuba, bad a long consultation with the president at the White House. It is the first time General Lee had seen Mr. McKinley Since the former’s return to this country, about a fortnight ago. He saw the president by special appointment and all visitors were excluded during the progress of the conference, except Sec retary Alger, who Came over from the war i department and remained until after General Lee’s departure. The conference was a long one, last ing almost two hours. General Lee carefully reviewed the situation in Cuba and explained at length all paints on which either the president or Seore tary Alger asked for information. Gen eral Lee gave his own views very freely to rhe president, but after the interview was very reticent as to the nature of the report he 1. : made. He said the president had given him an outline of ins policy. It is evident, however, that the presi de!, is deeply impressed with the criti cal '.-haractar o? the situation in Cuba as described by General Lee, and it is understood that in the conference he strongly nr~e.t Consul General Lee to retain his office, at least for the present-, and to return to Havana at his earliest convenience. As it been strongly intimated for several months that ex- Congressman Aldrich would succeed General Lee in Havana and that the latter would probably not return, the president’s action was construed that he thinks it inadvisable to make a change at this juncture. General Lee left hero for Oovington, Va., but before his departure admitted that he would return toCuba as soon as he arranged his private affairs, probably about the middle of October. In private conversation with close per sonal friends General Lee has expressed himself vigorously as to the situation in Cuba and has been very emphatic in his condemnation of some of General Wey ler’s actions.
