| LONDON, Aug. 29.-The local govern
ment tonight issued regulations req uirins
ship owners, under heavy penalties, te
retain aboard ship all foreign immigrants
who are unable to inform the port medical
officer of their destination and address to
enable the local authorities to watch them
until all danger of cholera is passed. No
immigrant in a dirty condition will be al
lowed to land until all sanitary conditions
are complied with. The order will be rig
idly executed. It will be the cause of
considerable expense and annoyance to
ship owners, and will probably result in
the cessation of the immigration of desti-
tute aliens, at whom the order is aimed.
It will not interfere with immigrants in
transit across England en- route for Amer
lea.
QUARANTINE METHODS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 29-The following or
der is about to be issued by Health Officer
Jenkins:
All vessels from cholera-infected ports
or carrying steerage passengers from in
footed localities will be subjected to quar-
antine or detention from two to five DAYS.
Passengers and their baggage will be trans
ferred to Hoffman Island, where they will
receive bath while baggage and clothing
are disinfected by steam. Immediately
after such transfer steerage and cargo will
be disinfected. The passengers will then
be returned to the vessel, which, in the alb
sence of any development of suspicious
cases, will be allowed to proceed to her
dock.

panic prevails among the inhabitants
The Armenian merchants wanted to close
their shops Immediately, but the governor
objected to this course and threatened to
e4pel the merchants from the country if
they did not continue business. Should
the Armenians be allowed to close their
shops it would cause great distress. A
dispatch from Vladikavkas, capital of the
government of Terek, says that every
town and Village in the government is sf-
fected with cholera.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-If all the deaths that
