 Cholera Norbus.

NEW YORK, August 29-Anton Patzet, an Australian who arrived here from Hamburg, Germany, two weeks ago, was taken to Bellevue Hospital to-day suffering from an ailment some symptoms of which resemble those of Asiatic cholera. The fact that he had come from a cholera infected city caused some alarm. The hospital physi- clans were unable to determine whether he had the genuine cholera or not. They thought he was ! suffering from severe attack of cholera morbus, but to be on the safe side, they isolated him in tent on the river front. He will be kept there until the nature of his illness will be accurately known.
 LATER.
 1 NEW YORK, August 29.-Anton Potzel, the Australian who arrived in this city two or three weeks ago from Hamburg, and who was taken to Bellevue Hospital yesterday after noon suffering from what was at first thought to be Asiatic cholera, but later was diagnosed as an acute attack of cholera morbus was dressed and walked about the isolated spot at the hospital early this morning looking for his breakfast. Potzel was put in the tent because he said he had recently come from Hamburg. This was done as a matter of precaution.

He further says that the emigrants on the Gemma were not of the poorest classes, but were greatly superior to the general run ot foreign Jews who arrive here.
