SANDY HOOK WANTED
As a Resort for the Cabin Passengers I'm
der Quarantine.

As a Resort for the Cabin Passengers Un.
der Quarantine.
Gen. Grant, acting secretary Of war; received
a telegram this morning from Secretary Charles
Foster, now in New York city, suggesting that
the War Department allow Sandy Hook to be
used as place of retreat for the quarantined
cabin passengers of the Atlantic liners now in
the lower bay. A similar request was preferred
by Austin Corbin and by Agent Boas Of the
Hamburg American packe line.
The War Department was also asked to loan
ton Of the passengers until barracks can be
built. 1t is proposed to isolate the cabin pas
sengers from the infected ships and keep them
at Sandy Hook until all danger is past
The War Department is considering the plan,
but 1t does not meet with much approval. If it
is carried out it will be with reluctance and
only because Of great emergency.
Sandy Hook Is the government proving
ground for testing heavy ordnance, and i'm
portant work is being carried on there, which
would have to be suspended. 1t is thought tina,
it would be difficult to keep the people from
escaping from quarantine If they were once
landed.
However, the department will carefully con-
slider the question and render a decision during
the day.
The department has no tents at its command,
all tents in this part of the country having been
loaned to the g. A. r. committee in this city
for the encampment Gen. Grant has asked the
committee IL they will surrender 500 tents, that
number TO be replaced within two or three DAYS
by shipments from st. Louis.
Up to late hour this afternoon no decision
had been reached by the War Department

A TALK WITH SECRETARY TRACY.
He Tells What the Navy Can and Cannot
Do IL the Matter.


Benjamin F. Tracy, the Secretary OF the
Navy, was in New York city yesterday and he
conferred with DR.. Jenkins over the telephone
In regard to the service that the Naty Depart
ment could perform in connection with doing
patrol duty and in finding place for the de-
tanned cabin passengers on some uninfected
vessel Secretary Tracy was seen at the Gisey
House, and to a reporter he said yesterday
afternoon:
Il expected to , DR.. Jenkins this afternoon
and tell him just wi nj the navy would and could
do to aid him in keeping ont the cholera and in
providing place to which the detained passen-
gers can be sent as fast as the ships arrive in
port. The fact of the matter is that there is
only one vessel that the Navy Department has
on hand that could be of any service as a re-
ceiving ship for the passengers who reach here
That is the apprentice ship. the New Hamp-
shire She has no rooms and is scarcely fit to
accommodate men, to say nothing of women.
All that she has in the line of sleeping accom-
modations ia q large cabin, in which the BOYS
sleep in hammocks. I think that the
passengers should be taken away from the
infected ships. and nv idea is that few Of the
sound steamers could be chartered for that
purpose. l saw two of the sound steamers ly-
ing idle at Fall River, and the idea occurred to
me that 1t would be an excellent plan to hire
them for while, and to put the passengers
from the infected ships aboard Of them as fast
as they reach this country. Cruisers for that
purpose could not be used In the first place.
there is no room for passengers, and then there
would be the danger Of spreading the disease
among the crew."
The assistant secretary Of the navy, who was
seen in Gen Tracys rooms ut the Gilsey House
last night, said: Secretary Tracy is doing all
that he can to assist DIR. Jenkins with whom
have been talking over the telephone this even
ing. At o'clock the Narkeeta. a 200-ton. under
the command of Lieut.. Bell, left the navy yard
for Whitestone, to do patrol duty along the
sound and the East river, at the entrance to it,
The lieutenant has been instructed TO stop all
ships, unless they have permit from the health
officer TO enter. I called todae unofficialy on
the president of the Stonington line, and Mr.
Miller informed me that one of their boats could
be chartered by the health officer. If he wanted
it. The boat is large one and is fitted up
with state rooms, and is just suited for the pur-
pose Of taking the passengers from the ships
that reach her, from the infected ports.'

In the post Office appropriation bill for the
current year authority was given the Post
master General to examine into the subject of q
more rapid dispatch Of mail matter between
large cities and post Office stations and trans
portation terminals by means of pneumatic
tubes or other appliances.
Acting under this authority the Postmaster
General in Suly last gave notice to all perso nj

vited them to submit description of their de-
vices and offered to test them. The tests are
to be made at the expense Of the owners ol
companies controlling them, and the depart
ment prefers that they shall be made in Phila-
dolphin, Chicago, New York, Brooklyn or Wash
ington.
Today is the last day that proposals will be
received and the bids will probably be opened

The propositions and results Of all expert.
ments will be the subject Of . report to Con-
gress.

5ected, however, and . paragraph was inserted
in the appropriation bill placing the matter In

The Monetary Conference.

Inquiry at the State Department .leads to the
information that the time for the meeting of
the international monetary conference has no,
yet been fixed. The delay has been occasioned
by the difficulty of agreeing upon u place OF
meeting, in view Of the quarantine SO generally
established on account Of the cholera prevailing
in Europe.
The statement cabled from London that
nothing had been heard by the new British
government from Secretary Foster on the sub
Ject is denied at the State Department. 1t is
said that Minister Lincoln was instructed to
put himself in communication with the new
government on the subject at the earliest posi-
Bile moment after its organization, and that he
had had various interviews of the most friendly
character with the minister for foreign affairs
and the chancellor of the exchequer.
