LEAVING NOTHING UNDoNE.
GoFernment Officials Will Keep the
Cholera Ont if Possible


Cholera Out if Possible.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The medical de-
partment of the treasury department. is
acting promptly on all matters having
bearing on the cholera epidemic, and Moth
ing will be left undone that may tend to
keep the disease from this country. To
all intents and purposes there now exists a
national quarantine, the co-opera-
ton Of the national and state
authorities in the mater re-
sulting in the formation of a Gordon which
will make it extremely difficult for case
OF cholera to reach the shores ofthe Unit
ed States. Surgeon General Wyman, OF the
marine hospital service, is now consider
ing proposition to continue the disiniec-
ton Of baggage during thewinter. This, it
is thought will prevent the importation Of
cholera germs after the present
alarm has subsidized. The treasury
department. requested the navy depart
ment to loan the marine hospital service an
old hulk, OF abandoned vessel OF some
kind, 10 be used as hospital at the Cape
Charles quarantine satlon. The navy de-
Gpartmepr however, was unable to comply
with the request. as there was nothing of
the kind available. Secretary Charles Eos
ter has turned over to the marine hospital
service the old revenue cutter Ewing, now
tied up at Baltimore, and she will be taken
to Chesapeake bay 10 the quarantine sta
ton, where she will be anchored Oft shore
and Will be
FITTED UP FOR HOSPITAL,
so that il any cholera patients are found
aboard OF any OF the incoming ships they
will not have to be landed Tor treatment III
the hospitals here. but can be kept entirely
Isolated on board the Ewing. It is prob
able the Ewing will be retained perlna-
nently by the marine hospital sery-
ice as a hospital ship at the
Cape Charles station. 1t is evident
that the people living along the
Canadian boIder and those further south
would suffer most by reason Of the intro
duction OF the cholera from Canada are
apprehensiye that the disease may enter
the United St ties unless stringent precal-
tons are taken to prevent it. Two teIe-
grams on the subject were received at the
treasury department during the evening
