The telegraph wire from the Upper Quarantine
station to the hospital islands in the Lower Bay was
not laid yesterday, but will probably be finished to-

badly needed. Up TO this time, the cholera ships
and the hospital Islands have been as completely smut
of from direct communication with the world as II
they In the middle OF the Atlantic Ocean The
only way Of finding out what was going on there and
how many victims were succumbng TO the terrible
disease for the health officers to go down there

and unsatisfactory work, and should an occasion arise
which called for immediate help on any OF the ships

officials at Upper Quarantine could be apprised OF
the fact. This grave danger has made DR.. jenkins
exceedingly anxious to have the wire finished as

submarine Tic land end at staten Island will be
at Fort Wordsworth, and will there connect with 4
direct wire to DR.. JenIins's onhce. From Swinburne

that reports from both places can be made Instantly
