CHOLERA ON THE UNCLE SAM.-On
the morning of the 5th inst, the Mic
aragua steamship Uncle Sam arrived
from San Juan del Sud, with the appal-
ing report that out Of $50 passengers
1870 had died of cholera. and there were
90 cases of persons still sick who were
taken to the hospital, and of whom 7
have since died. The passengers assert
that instead Of l20 there were more than
200 deaths on board. .H.. .1H n..
From the California Chronicle.l
LIST OF THE DEAD.-We are assured
by several sources that not less than 200
persons died on the trip One passen-
ger, who spent every day on deck, and
kept count of the bodies thrown over
during the daytime, and made inqui-
ries as to the bodies thrown over during
the night, counted 2O6. The Surgeon
counted over 9lO, and an officer over
200. i.l .'' ''1a,
The Surgeon of the vessel stated that
if he had had plenty of blankets and
plenty Of attendants. he might have
saved many of those who died. There
were forty sick on board the Uncle Sam
when she arrived in the harbor, and
three corpses had been thrown over
board during the morning. l'
There were only deaths in the first
cabin.
FURTHER PARTICULARS AND INCL
Captain reports at the
Custom House the death Of 1903 adults,
8 children and seamen-making in all
100. We can find no passenger who
does not insist that at least 200 perish
ed, and some confident that the number
was much larger. The law requires
the Captain to report the number 'dy-
ing on his vessel. but those dying in
port are not included in the number,
and this may, in a measure account for
the discrepancy.
Among the incidents on board, we
hear of one case of apparent hardship:
A young lady by the name of Mrs. Ho-
nora White, whose husband resides at
San Jose, was taken sick of fever few
days before the steamer arrived at this !
port. She died two hours before the ar
rival of the steamer at the wharf-l
Against all the remonstrances Other
the remains Of the unfortunate
Iady were taken from her state room
and plunged into the sea.
The passage was one of the most un-
and boisterous ever expe-
rienced upon the Pacific side, which ad-
led to the horrors of the voyage. The
1eaths were generally very sudden, none
surviving over from 9to 6 hours from
he time they were attacked. The pam
c on board was dreadful; wives aban-
loned their husbands, and husbands
heir wives, while both abandoned their
children. The passengers we're allowed
