San Frauclseo's Danger-NeetInG of the
Board of Health.
SAN FRANCISCO, August Sth.-At 2 meet
ing Of the Board OF Health this evening, to
take steps to prevent the infection of the
port by cholera, all Asiatie and African ports
were declared infected. DR.. Perry moved
that the rule of the Board exempting vessels
from northern ports from examination by the
Onarantine Officer be amended go as to ex-
clude none but vessels from California ports
from examination. He said that as the
Northern Pacific Railroad was about COM
pleted, which would remove Oregon from its
isolated position and connect it directly
with Eastern cities snd ports. thus
rendering them subject to cholera
and other Contagious diseases that might be
brought into them from the East, therefore
all vessels from there should be examined.
Quarantine Officer McCalIister said the trip
between Oregon and Washington Territory
was made in three days, and that during that
time it was not likely that a contagious dis
ease would break out among the passsDgers.
Again, il would be impossible to examine all
vessels, hs they were sailing out at oil hours
OF the night snd day. Mayor Bartlett gaid
that the rosd was not yet completed. and in
his opinion it was rot wise to act hastily. On
hissuggestion the matter was laid over till next
meeting. New quarantine grounds have besn
selected in Mission Bay, three miles from the
coast, and the Quarantine Officer has besn in-
structed to strictly enforce all laws. A COM
murication was read setting forth that two
members Of King Kalakaus's band, who will
participate in the Conclave. are hpers. The
authorities were also notified by Consul
Mosby that two vessels have been auaCan-
tined in Hongkong infected with cholers,

sand miles, and would soon be in Yokohsms.
