Protection Against Cholera.


DIR. Sayre, resident physician of this city,
has forwarded to the committee on Com
merce of the United States Senate plans
and information to be used in preparations
of a bill for securing general quarantine
against the invasion of the cholera.
DR.. Marsden, of Quebec, has prepared
plan, which. the health authorities have
adopted, for the protection of this city, and
which has also been laid before the senate
committee. 1t is founded upon the princi-
pie that Asiatic cholera is portable con-
trollable, and communicates disease, and,
like the plague, may be transmitted and
communicated both by persons and effects.
The basis of the plan is the enforcement of
absolute non-intercourse of persons who
have cholera or who have been exposed to
it for short period, and thorough disin-
fection of personal effects. This is to be Sc
cured by the establishment of new and
thorough quarantine regulations. 1t is
stated that the cholera station, If the Gov
ernment and State authorities approve of
the plan, will be situated at Sandy Hook.
Spain and Chilli.
New YORK, March 2.-The Herald's Sa-
vannah correspondent writes that the last
Spanish mail steamer from Spain. which ar
rived here on the l7th inst, left Cadiz on the
22d under sealed orders from the Govern
ment, which, when opened, were found to
be that the Captain was not to touch at any
of the intermediate ports; but to proceed
direct to his destination, and if he meet
with any Spanish vessels of war to inform
the commanders of the attitude assumed
by Spain in regard to Chilli and Peru. 1t is
said, further, that he was bearer of Govern
ment dispatches to the Captain General
with orders to send ont five thousand troops
to Join the squadron in the Pacific. 1t is
stated that Gen. Dulee has strong objections
to do any such thing, not only in view of
the uncertain and perplexing aspect of the
times, but also owing to the difficulty of
providing for such an emergency. 81
