New YORK, Aug. 27.-Ham burg spec
ials show that the cholera there contin-
ues to increase and grow in virulence in
spite cf all precautions of the authorities
to stay the spread of the disease. It has
reached London, by steamer Gemma.
The Gemma was reported to be INFECTED,
but the authorities, after examining the
passengers, allowed them to land.
| few hours aiterward two women, who
arrived on the Gemma, were taken sick.
| They were at once taken to the hospital
at Gravesend, where the doctors pro-
nounced their malady cholera. In spite
of medical aid, they died shortly after
being admitted. This caused consider
able anxiety, and a close inspection OF
all incoming vessels has been ordered.
When the steamer Laura, also from
Hamburg arrived at Lynn, with cholera
suspects on board, the vessel was irnme-
diately ordered TO put back to sea. The
officers and passengers protested against
such summary treatment, but the health
officers were obdnrate and refused to let
single person land from the steamer
| Antwerp dispatches notify the world
that the Sheldt board of health has
taken action such as is likely to cause
little reliance to be placed on bills of
health issued by it. 1t has announced
| that it sees no reason to make any
change in its bills of health OH account
of a few suspicious cases of sickness
will. therefore, continue to deliver bills
l5oflhealth. AS it is indisputably proven
that Asiatie cholera is present in Ant
werp, the health authorities of other
1 cities will know the value of clean bills
| of health issued by the Sheldt board.
Quebec is alarmed at the imperfect
quarantine station on the st. Lawrence,
now that the cholera has obtained a foot
! hold in the Elbe district, in Germany,
and because of the number of German
vessels coming annually into Quebec,
and the large trade carried on between
| German ports. Now, however, that the
coldest weather is near, both the doctors
and everyone else are beginning to
breathe more freely A medical man
has expressed the belief that, if the dis
ease does not put in an appearance
within the next fortnight, all danger
will be then over.
Our own health officers are preparing
TO fight off the cholera should it make
/
anitary superintendent, thinks cholera
will undoubtedly reach this port within
the next week or ten days, as sc, 900 i'm
migrants, in round numbers, we're
brought into the United States from the
ports of Hamburg, Bremen, Antwerp
and Havre, during the months of June
ard July last, and the stream has not
diminished thus far during the month
of August. 1t is estimated that between
c, 600 and 1000 are now en- route from
choIera-infected ports, destined for New
York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Bos-
| ton. The task of inspecting these un-
welcome arrivals and disinfecting their
baggage will be no light undertaking.
1t is said that from and after this date
| the embarkation of immigrants for the
United States from Germany and Rus
sia will be practically SUSPENDED until
! frost comes, by mutual Understanding
treasury officials of the United States.
