SECOND DIsPATCH,I
ST. LOUIS, July 25th.-The steamer Annie
P. Silver, referred 10 in the dispatches from
Washington tonight, ana her Captain, A.
W. Bryant, was greatly surprised on being
informed tonight OF the contents Of Sur
geOn-General Hamitton'S dispatches and
| instructions to the Surgeon Of the Marine
| Hospital here. Captain Bryant states that
| Just before leaving New Orleans, on The
10th inst, family. consisting of man,
wife and four children, evidently in in
! digcnt circumstances came on board, and
! engaged deck passage TO st. Louis. The
youngest child baby six months old was
quite sick with an ordinary summer com
| plaint and when the boat was opposite
| Greenyille, Miss, it died. The carpenter
of the boat made pine coffin, in which the
remains were deposited, and at the next
| landing place, Port Anderson, they were
| buried in the presence of most of the pas
| sengers and crew. No one for a moment
| supposed the disease was anything but a
| common summer complaint, and the cir
/ cumstance was soon forgotten. Cholera
was not thought of On the arrival of the
steamer here the remainder of the family
| left the boat in good health, but where
| they went Captain Bryant does not know
| The man had stated, through an inter
| prefer, that he was u Spaniard from Opurto;
| that he sailed from the latter place to Vera
| Cruz, Mexico. where he kept a saloon two
months, then went to New Orleans, and
| from there he concluded to come to ST.
| Louis. He could not speak French, and
Captain Bryant does not believe he at any
| time came from Toulon. Up to a late hour
tonight the Surgeon of the Marine Hos
| pital had not been seen. Nothing there
| fore, is known as to what if any action he
has taken in the case.
