believed that the disease reached here from
some vessel from an infected port and there
is considerable indienst that the
authorities did not enforce the quarantine
regulations until after the disease had got a
firm foothold It has transpired that the
first persons to fall victims to the disease
were dock laborers. They were taken to
hospitals, where the doctors stated to news
it was common cholera and that
nothing was to be feared from it.
The first victims died almost Immediately
after entering the hospitals 1t is thought
that the hospital physicians were fully
aware the disease was Asiatio cholera, but
that they were compelled by the authorities
to deny 1t. One-fourth of all the patients
who have been removed to the hospitals
have died. Quarantine regulations are now
