MORE BACTERIoLoGISTs READY.
AS vet we have placed no immigrants
on Hoffman Island permanently, because
there has been no need of IL. We are all
ready for any cases that may break out,
however. and If the circumstances de-
mand l shall have several bacteriologists
to assist in examining suspected patients.
Among these will be DR.. Sternberger. u.
S. A, OF the Hoagland Laboratory; Prof.
w. II. Welch Of Johns Hopkins Univers-
ity, and Dr.. Briggs of Bellevue Hospital
Il shall also secure four special sanitary
policemen today, and detail them for
patrol duty on the bay with orders to
shoot any person who attempts to board
an infected vessel. The pilot who brought
the Moravia up the bay WAS taken off the
vessel on my tug, but was opposed

authority that he was permitted
to do so. lam confident, however. that
there is no danger of his spreading the
disease as ne was nowhere on the ship
excepting on the bridge, and the chances
OF his carrying away any germs were ex-
ceedingly slim. do not know the pilots
name or where he lives.

probably go up to her dock today. So
also will the Circassia. whose three days
are up, and the Veendam. after her pas

CLEAN BILLS OF HEALTH.
AT eight o'clock this morning Deputy
Health Officer Tallmadge returned from
boarding the Cuna-der Gallia, which ar
riveu from Liverpool at half-past five this
morning, and the North German-Lloyd
liner Lain, which got in at nine o'clock
last night from Bremen
He reported that there were 257 Russian
steerage passengers on board the Gallia,
with nine cases OF measles and two of
chckenpox. The ship will be- held at
least three days and given a thorough
fumigation.
Among the Lahn's 264 cabin and 484
steerage passengers DR.. Tallmadge said
but she would be held day a least, as a
matter of precaution.
AT i0.1 this morning General Agent
Wander Coort. of the Netherland- -Ameri-
can line, transferred the Veendams steer
age passengers to double-decked barge
and towed them to Hoffman Island,
where they and their baggage will go
through the fumigating and disinfecting
process.
1t is possible that the veendam will
reach her dock during the day.
The Ward line steamship City of Wash
ington, which arrived early this morning
from Savannah, was also detained, but
will probably be allowed to proceed to
morrow.
At 9 o'clock the Portuguese tram
steamer Olinda. from Oporto Aug. 8, ar
rived at Quarantine and was boarded at
30 by Deputy Health Officer Tallmadge.
AT tie same hour the Circassia was re-
leased from Quarantine and started up
the nay.
At 1890 the Pertugese tramp Olinda
was allowed to proceed up the hay. She
had no sickness on hoard, carried no pas
sengers and had been over twenty days at
sea.
