England. The disease was brought
here by the steamer Gamma> which
arrived at Gravesend Thursday from
Hamburg. It was reported that the
steamer was infected, but the author

sengers allowed them to land.
A few hours after two aliens who
had arrived on the Gamma were taken

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Talk of abso-
lutte prohibition of the landing of all
vessels Fl pm foreign ports is again rife,
rs the result ofthe reportthat cholera
has invaded England. The state
and treasury department officials
have no official communication
yet of the probability of the spread Of
the disease in England and unless the
disease becomes epidemic there the
prohibition against the landing of all
vessels is not likely to be issued The
matter will be held in allegiance in
view of the active cooperation of the
steamship lines with the government
in carrying out quarantine measures.
A circular just issued requiring disin-
lection of baggage goes one step fur
Their in declaring that it must be done
on the other side, at ports of embarka
ton under consular supervision. The
first circular permitted disinfection
either at ports of EN- barkation or ar
rival. This last circular is intended not
only to meet the present emergency
but to operate indefinitely FOR a year or
more, for there will still be danger that
infected personal clothing may be
brought in by immigrants long after
the epidemic has subsidized on the other
