More cholera laden ships have arrived
at New York harbor and the worst
fears of the health officers seem to have
been realized in the arrival of the
scandal the last to enter quarantine,
This vessel was counted among those
which il was thought would bring
cholcrn among its passengers, and upon
arrival 1t was found that tbirty-two
deaths had occurred during passage.
The passengers confined on the var
ious ships that are in quarantine pro-
test against the treatment they are re-
ceiving, inasmuch as they are but Gagged
up to await the ravagcs Of the disease,
They claim the dead are not removed
for two or three days, that the doctors
visit them only once in two or three
days and that the iare on the ships is
bad ana the sanitary condition dcplor'
able. President Harrison has again in.
tcrfered and decided that the govern
mcnt land at Sandy Hook shall be used
as ground upon which hospital tents
shall be erected, To which all passcn-
gers not afflicted by this disease shall
be transferred. Gov Flower has also
directed that Fire Island which is pri.
vatc property, may be either purchased
! that that officer shall secure all help
he deems necessary. Though these
! preventive measures are all that eau
! possibly be done TO stay the progress
OF the disease the opinion seems 10

undergo siege of the dread scnurgc.

the city Of Hamburg, caused by the
reign of the cholera scourge in that
! clty has already amounted To 200, 600
| 0l0 marks No extra precaution is
taken IN Berlin to prevent cholera from
entering that city. The city authori.
ties declare that the dispatches have
exaggerated the condition OF things in
| Hamburg, and as there is absolutely
! no cholera in Berlin, parties from Ham
burg are allowed To secure accommo
tation. There is no fear of cholera, q,
! the city, it is claimed. Is remarkably
clean and healthy. In London il Is
! claimed that the disease has been thor
oughly stamped DOT by means of inocu
lation. In France the disease IS dying
out, and, indeed IL Is claimed that tho
! condition was much exaggerated at al
times, and that many persons died o.
sheer fright.
