Talmage has returned from the steamer
City of New York which is anchored at
the head of the detained fleet here. He

Danger in Sugar.
NEW YORK, September Experts
differ as to whether the greatest danger
from cholera'lies in cargoes \of infected
vessels or in the passengers themselves.
Some experts are of the impression that
imports find a freer entrance than pas
sengers, and at the same time are great
er menace.
The cargo of the infected Moravia con-
sists Of 5000 bags of beet sugar. This
cargo has been opened to the deadly in
fection. The Stubbenhuk, also in quar-
antine, has 1000 bags of beet sugar in
her hold. The bags containing the SUI
gar are of gunny cloth. Before ship
ment each bag was handled and stored
at the infected port of Hamburg. The
danger is obvious.
1t is estimated by the German statis-
tician LIGHT, that 625, 900 bags of beet
sugar have been engaged for shipment
during the latter part of August from
Hamburg and other German ports to
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Canadian ports, and that 100000 bags of
sugar were engaged for shipment in the
first part of September.

Refuge For Cabin Passengers.
New YORK, September 7.-Secretary
of the Treasury Foster said last night
that the federal government would un-
doubtedly offer Sandy Hook to the State
to use as refuge camp for the cabin
passengers who are under quarantine.

both unjust and dangerous to these pas
sengers to quarantine them on an infect
ed ship.

The sufferer is prominent citizen and
his physician is understood to have de-
