COFFEE AND FRUIT.
THE DEALERS I'm COFFEE Ann FRUIT
WAIT UPON THE BOARD
OF HEALTH
They obtain Modification of Quaran-
tine.

! "A committee from the coffee dealers and i'm
porters waited upon Dr. Chopin yesterday
| afternoon for the purpose Of asking him what
were his intentions with regard to the fumiga-
| ton of the coffee-laden vessels coming into
| this port.
| Messrs. p. Poursine. Agar. Westfeldt. Moore
n Gordon, of Gordon h Gomila. composed the
the committee. These gentlemen informed
the president OF the Board Of the Health. that
| they were forced To employ sailing vessels in
stead Of steamships to carry their cargoes OF
coffee, in order that the cargOes could be more
| easily fumigated. If the disinfectlon had to be
| made on steamships 1t would have been more
difficult.
DIR. Choppin answered that If the sailing YES
| sells showed clear bills Of health IL all on board
were we'll and If the cargo could be fumigated,
that he would subject them to the same duaran-
tine regulations as steam vessels-that is, take
into consideration the time spent in coming
hither from the port Of embarkation
| The committee retired. seemingly satisfied
with their interview. the purport OF which is to
be discussed at special meeting Of the board,
to be held on Monday evening. ut o'clock.
THE FRUIT MEN.

three of the Board Of HEALTH The object Of the
consultation was on the part OF the fruit men.
to bring about modification of quarantine reg
ulations as regards the Bay Islands. Utillf \.
Ruatan and Bonaca. Mr.. Berry held that never
nj any time had there been sing e case OF vel
low fever In these islands, and that oil vessels
leaving these island carried with them cargoes
of fruit direct to New Orleans, without touching
at any port Of Infection.
Mr. Oter said that If the board were willing.
he would furnish free passage to the islands to
any physician whom the board would send to
find out If any case of yellow fever existed or
had ever existed in these islands
Mr., Marks asked what was the value Of the
trade with Ruatan aud the other Bay Islands.
Mr.. Oteri answered that the value of the traf
Hc between this city and these islands was be-
tween 800 600 and 100000 a month besides the
reciprocal exchange Of merchandise and goods.
These islands get their supplies almost etelu-
sively from New Orleans. Besides the value of
the trade (which will inevitably be destroyed by
uuarantine) this interchange of CONNER
cial relations gave employment to large
number of people on the steamers and
ships plying between this city and the
Bay Islands and proved a means OF iveli-
hood to great many hands In this city. Mr.
Oter said he expected his steamer the E. B.
Ward to arrive at quarantine on Monday, and
he would asK Of the board what would be done
with her.
The committee took under favorable consid-
GRAFTON the request of Messrs. Oter & Berry.
AT the special meeting OF the board on Mon
day the committee will submit Its report.
