WASHINGTON, July 9.-At meeting
Of the Cabinet yesterday it was decided
to take vigorous measures to prevent
the introduction of cholera into the
United States, and the Treasury depart
ment will act in forcing regulations
which are to beprepared. An order will
be issued prohibiting the importation OF
rags from all infected countries for
ninety days or longer If necessary. 1t
was also decided that vessels of the
revenue marine service should estab-
lish Gordon along the coast to prevent
the landing ofall vessels from foreign
ports which do not possess clean bills
of health.
The Secretary Of State to-day adj
dressed letter to the Secretary of the
Treasury in regard to the cholera ques-
ton, of which the following is Il copy:
"On the 18th of April last ! had the
honor to inform you that Il method Ofdis-
infection for rags had been agreed upon
by the health authorities of New York,
New Haven and Boston, and that an In
Spector had been appointed who was to
act under the Consul General
ut Cairo, who was also to authenticate
the certificate of inspection. Congress-
having failed to provide for q Consul
General at Cairo, such certificates can
not for the present be furnished The
Consul General was officially charged
with the duty of seeing that rags were
disintectod, and his Office no longer eN-
lists. The want of satisfactory evidence
Of the fact of distinction makes il nee
eSSary to abandon for the present
the pl:n agreed upon. j have,
therefore, revoked the appointment
InGAnHiAr a. al
designated as Inspectors" Acting on
this information, Secretary Folger
to-day issued instructions to Collectors
of Customs and other persons Interested
tn prevent, until further orders, the I'M
lotding of rags from foreign infected
ports, and rags which are suspected, on
good grounds, of being infected
cQHing from any foreign port"
Y Surgeon-G neral OF the Marine
y ital Service has tclegraphed the
IA, auth rities at New Orleans that
the Secrt tary of the Treasury has di-
rccted vessels of the Revenue Marine
Service 10 patrol the coast of tho United
States, including the Gulf coast, as Il
| precautionary measure against cholera.
| 1t is expected the President will issue
| an executive order calling attention to
the necessity tor more stringent precau-
! tons az snst the introduction of cholera
and Urging the greatest vigilance on

both at home and abroad. Quarantine

OTTAWA, July l9.--There is no truth
in the statement purporting TO come
from Washington that paper and rags,
supposed to have been collected in
choiera-infected districts of Europe, are
being imported into the United States
through Canadian ports. United States
importers should see that necessary pre-
cautions are taken before shipment.
Dominion authorities cannot tell what
are in the bales, and the fault of not
taking proper precaution must rest on
