Thete Is great activity around Police Head
quartAes and the ofices Of the Board OF Health
to-day.
the Health Department was opened much
earlier than usual this morning. The first
ofictal TO arrive WAS President Wilson,
tired-looking and worried. Tho fact
that President Wilson waS present
and the probability that he had Intelligence
OF more Gases OF cholera soon became known
throughout the building and the head OF the
health branch Of the municipal government
was soon surrounded by group OF reporters.
There is absolutely nothing new this
morning, gentlemen" said President Wilson.
" Notwithstanding TIE fact that the news
papers all agree In the statement that there
have been nve deaths from Asiatic cholera in
this city, there have only been four Of which
We trS absolutely positive They are the
cases Of McAvoy, the Wiegmann's and the
child Minnie Levinger. In these cases the
meteorological examinations prove conclu-
styely that they died OF Asiatic cholera.
IN the cases OF Charlotte Beck and Peter
CsllAnAn they are merely suspects, how
underkoint biological examinations There
10 nothing Absolutely certain about these
cases though IT is . fair assumption that
thsy. both died from cholera. When the re.
potts come In We will make them public
without delay"
President Wilson, although he did not retire
before O'CLOCK this morning, was out by
6'cloek and paid q visit to the Reception Hos.
pitals and the Floating Hospital ut the foot
of East Sixteenth street He declared
thai he was unable TO tell how many casss
We're suspects, aud said that he did not In
tend to publish every suspected case, because
hs didnot deem It good policy 10 DO 50.
We do not care to throw the city into
cnly positive cases OF cholera will be made
khowh. We are doing everything In our
power towards blocking the progress OF the
dise6se.' Our inspectors are busy to-day
ferrettng out the antecedeDts OF the an.
nounced cases. We are using every means and
suggestion in tracing out the desired infor.
tnAtion, ana the results OF our labors will be
made known At the proper time. The houses
IN which the persons died are being carefully
Wstched, and It Is my intentlo lon to have q po-
liceman At each house to carry out our plans
Of ofisolaion. There will oe no limit to dlsln.
fection."
b nj. Wilson insisted that so far there had
been no secondary cases In the houses where
tho infected persons died. When questioned
regarding the dlarrhGal Attack suffered by
Hugo Beck, the husband Of Mrs. Beck, one OF
the victims, he SAID;
'"The biological EXAMINATIONS In Mrs
Beck'scase, not yet finished, VIII alone ena.
ble.. ps to tell whether Mr.. Beck had
cholera. II II is found that Mrs Beck
positively died from Aslatic cholera
then we can conclude that the man
hsa slight attack OF the same disease. As
We Understand It Beck was attacked with
disfrhGa, went to the country and came back
well man. II he did have cholera It must
have been q mild FORM"
referring to the source OF the infection, Mr..
Wilson said that tho Department was busy
workllg up thst end Of the case. He thought
much o. the suggestion made that IN Beck's
ease the infection came through his work.
