BY THE MARINE HOSPITAL BUREAU.
Surgeon-General Hamilton has received tele-
gram from DIR. c. p. Wilkinson, president OF the
New orleans board OF health, protesting against
the intention OF sending ten nurses from Camp
Perry by rail to their home IN New Orleans. They
volunteered 10 20 TO Jacksonville under the aus
anxious TO get home. DrwIlkinson suggests that
anybody may be sent by way OF Tampa and the
Mississippi River, but says: "If South Florida
will not allow them TO pass through, why should
you attempt TO force them on Us? Please counler-
mand order"
DR.. Hamilton has replied that the persons have
been detained at camp Perry ten days and have
not been exposed to Infection. "Tney are accli-
mated and not likely TO become sick, aud their bag
gage has been twice fumlgated They are not

sire. suggest that you notify them through
Hutton where they must stop. The Government
has no regulation detaining them beyond the
quarantine period OF ten days"
In reference TO this matter. DIR. Hutton, at Camp
Perry, telegraphs to-day TO DIR. Hamilton that the
nurses nave been In camp IRON seventeen 10
twenty-fou days each, that there IS absolutely no
Infection In camp nor has there been. ana says:
"The question now confronts US Is whether Mis-
sissippi and louisiana or the United States are
supreme in the matter. Please advise US; mean
time shall hold nurses"
Dr. Hamilton telegraphed In reply: "Allow
nurses 10 depart and go as far as they Will be al
lowed. While the regulation forbidding their
entry to New orleans IN my judgment Is entirely
unwarranted by any state OF facts, the Govern
ment cannot override local regulations under
present laws but no community can force the
Government TO retain persons In quasi connne-
ment beyond the period the general Judgment OF
surgeon General Hamilton has issued a circular
to the medical Officers or the Marine Hospital Ser
vice. calling their attention TO his recent regua-
lions concerning the treatment OF foul ships. The
