ian immigrant who had arrived on the steam
ship Mas lila.

thoroughly fumiyated and the yellow nag dis

No new cases OF typhus fever had been re-
ported to the Health Department in this city
ut ] l o'clock this forenoon. SO rar no deaths
have occurred among the fever.stricken
patients at North Brother Island, but from re-
ports received by DR.. Edison from DR.. Perclval
Of the Riverside Hospital, It was
learned that the condition OF many Of the
patients was critical 1t Is expected that
some will die
All the Russian Hebrews who came over ON
the Masslla have now been accounted for,
but only few OF the Italians have been
traced.
The Inspectors Of the Board Of Health have
all the persons who were exposed to the
dreaded disease under observation, and as soon
ns the symptoms OF typhus appear on any Of
them the patient will be removed to North
Brother Island.
All persons who were exposed to danger,
and who may yet develop the NAL
ady, are practically prisoners at
Essex and 4. East Twelfth streets,
where they are housed under guard Of the
sanitary police. and where they can be care
fully watched by the physicians.
The only danger of the spread Of the plague
nov Is In case he disease has been communl-
Gated to any person with whom the immi-
grants came In contact.
So far all cases have been confined to the
newcomers.
The state line steamship Nevada, which
, arrived from Liverpool this morning, was de-
tained at Quarantine because 1t had thirty
Russian refugees on board.
The passengers will be held Until Health
Onicer jenkins can ascertain whether
| the immigrants are from the same localities
in Russia as the passenger who came on the
Masslila, among whom the typhus fever epi-
demic broke OUT after their arrival in this
! city.
DR.. jenkins at once requested DR.. Cyrus
Edison, Chict OF the Bureau OF Contagious
Diseases. to obtain the Information for him
from the patients confined In the hospital at
North Brother Island.
! Dr. Edison Is O, opinion, however, that IL
will be dlnicult to trace the origin Of the
disease. as the refugees went from Russia
TO Turkey. from there to Marseilles, thence
10 Italy and finally to Spain b,iore they
started on their voyage for the United States,
and they were twenty-nine days at sea on an
overcrowded, iil-ventiiated vessel.
The Russian Hebrews who came over In the
steamship Rug!e, from Hamburg, Feb. g,
some OF whom put up at the Logging houses
where the typhus fever broke out, have not
yet been removed to separate quarters.
| II is likely that they Will be quarantined at
100 clinton place, which building the Health
| Department has secured ior the emergency.
So lar 10 case OF typhuS has been found
among the Rusie's passengers.
| By next week Il is expected o number OF
the cases now under treatment will have fatal
results. The patients u North Brother
Island are in the care Of two physicians Dr,
) Percival has taken personal charge OF the
typhus cases.
! Preside Mt Wilson, of the Board OF Health
and Commissioner Bryant held o conference
| this morning and it was decided to erect
| pavilion on North Brother Island that will
accommodate 100 persons.
DR.. Edison received a letter from DR.. Mo
Shayne, Health o1icer Of Baltimore,
! this morning thanking him for apprising him
OF III" case Of Max R9seuuhal, one OF the
! refugees Tho started for that city.
