CHOLERA'S WILDCAREER.
A SUSPICIOUS STEAMER UNDER
WATCH AT NEW YORK.

delaware Breakweter Rectif1ed at
Philadelphia.
New York, Aug. 29.-Two suspected
vessels we're subjected to a vigorous ex-
animation at quarantine this morning by
DR.. Jenkins-the Arizona from Liverpool,
and the America, a German vessel, from
Hamburg. The Arhona's passengers were
in exceptionally good health considering
the arduous time they have had during the
mast week. After the ship and her bag
gage had been dislnfected she was cleared.
The America did not fare SO well. The re-
suit of the examination Ia not known, but
is understood that DIR. Jenkins discovered
something that aroused his suspicious, for
the America is still riding at anchor of the
health station and the prospects are that
she will remain there all day.
GorHAM's ANXIETY.
This is likely to be a busy and anxious
week for tho health officials who stand
guard over the entrance to New York. An
extensive feet of foreign vessels from all
parts of Europe, many of them direct from
cholera infected districts, are scheduled to
arrive here and with the spread of the
disease abroad the chances of its being im-
ported here are considered alarmingly great
and ever increasing. The same scrupulous
vigilance that has marked the work of the
health officers at quarantine ever since the
first news of the appearance OF the disease
in Europe reached here will continue to be
maintained aud If such thing be possible
even greater precautions will be taken.
A meeting between Health Officer Jen-
kins and representatives of all the foreign
ha1 in oil
afternoon. Health Officer Jenkins read
from the new orders Of the board OF health
providing that all vessels which arrive
from ports infected by the cholera, and
those carrying passengers from
infected districts shall be shut In
quarantine from two to five days before
being allowed to proceed to their docks.
Before leaving quarantine the vessels will
receive a thorough fumtgation. The COM
psnies agreed to the orders without dissent,
all apparently realizing with the board of
health the danger Of infection. They will
do all in their power to assist the board.
THEY WE'RE BOUND THIS WAY.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The following
dispatch was received at the state depart
ment from the United States consul at Glas
gov: There is q cholera outbreak here

Consul General Edwards at Berlin tele
graphs that there were seven supposed chol-
era cases at Bremen.

ary measure that could be taken to prevent

CARELEssNEss AT PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 29.-The
steamship British Princess, from Liverpool
for this port with 900 passengers aboard,
20 Of whom are Immigrants from Ham
burg, was not boarded at the Delaware
breakwater this morning by United States
officials as anticipated, but passed up the
bay without stopping. Ths reason for the
failure TO examine her is not known, but as
fresh breeze is reported it is believed to be
due to the poor facilities afforded the gov
eernment for boarding purposes, their boat
being considered unsafe in a rough sea.
The steamer will be detained at the state
quarantine, about ten miles below this city,
however. Her disinfection will occupy
several days.

against the cholera she was detained on
BOARD the ship to await further develop
nents.
