and Christiansanel Oct. 18th. At the time OF
leaving the latter port she had % cabin and
81 steerage passengers, and crew of 67
men. When ten days out the first case of
cholera made its appearance among the steer
age passengers, and when the steamer put
into Halifax to obtain coal there had been
nearly 100 cases of cholera and cholerie
diarrehpa. of which forty proved fatal. Since
leaving Halifax one death has occurred, and
| to-day twelve patients suffering from cholera
| were sent to the West Bank Hospital. The
well passengers were also transferred to the
United States steamer Delaware, lately fitted
up as receiving ship by the quarantine au-

the passengers was ordered to the lower
