A New Orleans dispatch notes that full blooded Negroes show resistance to yellow fever, while fat individuals and heavy drinkers are more susceptible.

The fever has not spread gradually this year, appearing sporadically across the city rather than in waves, and no clear link to Ocean Springs or Texas is identified.
