Precautions Taken by the Health Author
tics to Frsvent the DIsease.

SAN DIEGO, Aug 29.-Quarantne Officer
Mckay, in an interview in the Sun. says:
"The danger Of cholera reaching this port
Is very remote. There is danger by the Pa
cifc Mail steamers. But vessels out from
l50 to 300 days would have all dead or
conyaescent, as the pest runs its course in
two TO 10 DAYS. The danger is from vessels
30 days only from infected ports or from
passengers from the same who come over
land. San Diego's quarantine station is
across the bay on the eastern shore ofPoint
Iona promontory at ths old landing of the
packet ships. The buildings are to be
begun In few weeks, but tents would be
used If the pest comes. The long wharf for
quarantine landings was completed last
week by the sinking Of two mushroom iron
anchors within the arms OF the wharf
weighing respectively 1000 and $500 pounds.
BY them any ship could be held Ia the
wharf FOR fumigating double warehouse
covers the wharf for disinfectng baggage
the mail. etc.. DR.. Mckay has been here
four years. He says the first quarantine
case is yet to come. Last year he inspected
202 foreign vessels and over 5000 people.
