officials apprehensive of the development
OF more cases of cholera. No deaths or
new cases were reported in this city or
from the Lower Bay up to ten O'Clock.
Many cases of suspected cholera ara
being Investigated by the Health Board
Inspectors.
After the comparative lull in the NUM-
Der of suspected cholera cases reported
during the early part of the week, the
fact that the health officials have their
hands full with dangerous looking cases
2 as quite apparent at the Health Board
thls morning.
Notwithstanding the fact that the situa-
tlon Is not as encouraging as the Begin
ming of the week indicated, President
Wilson PROCESSES to be still hopeful and
thinks that the prospects for staving Oh
an epidemic are very bright.
President Wilson reached his Office at
nine O'Clock this morning, and at once
held conference with DR.. Roberts,
Chlef OF the Bureau of Contagious
diseases. A few moments later General
Clark posted the morning bulletin.
President Wilson then received the re-
porters. He looked hopeful and spoke
very freely on the situation.
HOPEFUL PRESIDENT WILSON.

he said. land we are hopeful of the fu-
ture. Quarantine is in force in the houses
at No. Ali East Forty-sixth street, No. 31S
East Forty-seveDth street. No. Extra
place, No. IA Mott street. No. 63 Cheny
street, No. Is Morris street, and Ne. IL
Second street.
''In The three first named houses cholera
cases were found, while in the remainder
tl6rA have Jvh
are now undergoing archaeological ex-
animation.
"There is no doubt that Captain Carr
of the canalboat Henry Cahill, who died
in New Brunswick last Sunday, was a
cholera victim. The report on the bio
logical examination is not in yet, but the
results of the tests SO far made show con-
clusively the presence of cholera germs.
I'VE have SO notified the New Bruns-
wick authorities. but as we think the
source of infection is not to be found in
the canal boat, which is now at the foot
OF West Thirtieth street. we will, in all
probability, raise the quarantine on il to-
day.
In the case of the steamship State of
Nevada, the vessel has gone back to
Quarantine on the order of Health Officer
jenkins. Last night 900 tons of pig lead
were taken on board as ballast, aud the
