The Danger OF Infection from Sugar
Sacks Leads to Most Stringent
and Expensive Regulations to Pre-.
vent Spread of the Disease from
That Cause.
New YORK. Sept. 22.-It was an
pounced that as a result of the examina-
tion of Louis Weinhagen, who was re-
moved from large boarding house, IA
First street, few days ago, the case
proves to be one Of Asiatic cholera. He
is still at the reception hospital to which
place he was removed when his case was
discovered. Simon Knox, of the steam
ship State of Nevada, who died on board
the ship on Sept. 1S, also had Asiatic
to lower quarantine.
Two new suspected cases of cholera
were reported to the health board yester-
day. The first was one from No 63
Cherry street, where woman named
Mary Murphy was found sick with chol-
era symptoms. The premises were
fumigated and disinfected and placed
under observation. The health authori-
ties regard this as very suspicious case.
The other suspected case came from Mrs.
Guenther's boarding house, at No. IA
First street. A boarder named Henry
Engel is the suspect. and his case is re-
garded with some doubt. He is now in
Willard Parker hospital.
Sugar Sacks as Disease Breeders.
The most intricate problem on the
cargo side Of the present quarantine pre-
cautions is the sugar question, and i'm

share of the time of the health depart
ment officials in their endeavors to So
cure permits for landing. The collectors
office is rigid in its demand that none Of
this class of merchandise which is
brought in even gunny sacks shall be
taken from the vessels hold until under
rules laid down by the quarantine de-
partment. DR.. Jenkins circular provid-
ing that sugar must be emptied from the
sack on to lighters, and that the empty
bags must be returned on the ships and
boiled In water or soaked in tanks of BIZ
chloride solution, necessarily involves a
vast amount of expense for handling.
After being emptied on the lighters the
sugar must be returned to the cleansed
Sacks or new ones, before it can be
landed on the wharf. Already in ships
here from infected ports there are 200, 900
sacks of sugar and more in transit.

The Food Supply Cut on
CANT Low, SANDY Hook, Sept. 3d.
With pestilence and starvation in view,
the outlook for tho inhabitants of the
immigrant quarantine station is any
thing but pleasant. The managers of the
southern branch of the New Jersey rail-
road yesterday notified General Hamil-
ton that from this date no supplies for
either this or the marine camp would be
carried by their trains. Before the gem
erel recovered from this news a telegram
came from Secretary Howe, of the state
board of health of New Jersey, saying
that the authorities of the state could
render no help because of the terror of
persons in towns near Camp Low. This
action puts the camp in bad plight, for
there is barely coal and ice on hand to
