The Surgeon-General says that he has
advised the removal OF the infected vessel
from Craney Island. because from personal
inspection he has become satisfied that ft
is too near Norfolk for the safety OF that
city. beng distant about two miles, and
experience shows that previous outbreaks
OF yeIlow-feyer at Norfolk have always
proceeded from Craney Island when that
point was used for quarantine purposes.

lector OF Customs at Baltimore this after
noon as follows: "Instruct the revenue
steamer Ewing to stop foreign vessels en-
tering the Capes, and IL there is any sick
