authorities, after conference with
Mayor Grant and Health Officer Jen-
kins, have decided that it would be
foolhardy not to expect the Asiatic
scourge to appear here and they have
acted as if they counted on its breaking
out within the next week. AS
a result of the quarantine confer
ence all immigrants from infected
ports will, after individual ex-
aminations and the fumigation and
steaming Of baggage, be subjected to a
rigid quarantine from two to five days.
OF course the steamship companies,
which will be taxed for this detention,
will not be slow to act, and the result
of the order will be practical cessa-
tion of immigration from points that
menace the United States with con-
tagion.
Several steamships arrived here Mon
day morning. They all had steerage
passengers. They were the Arizona,
from Glasgow; the Picqua, from Naples,
and the America and the Saale, from
Bremen. All the passengers were sub
jected to a searching investigation and
the vessels, baggage and mails disin-
fected. No evidence of cholera was
found among the passengers. The ves-
sells were released and proceeded to
their docks.
LONDON, Aug. Soft all the deaths
that are being reported from Asiatic
cholera are true there is no doubt of
Great Britain's having a visitation of
the dreadful scourge. From Graves
end, Swansea, Glasgow and Dundee,
-, a. -, nd nd
Wales, reports come of deaths from
the disease showing that the efforts
of the health officials to keep it out
of the country have proven fruit
less. And now comes the report
that person has died from
Asiatic cholera at Bolton, the large
manufacturing town which lies IL
miles northwest of Manchester. 1t is
one of the principal seats of the Eng
lish cotton manufacture and thousands
of mill operatives live there.
The permission given by the health
officials at Middlesborough for the
landing of the crew of the steamer
Corona, from Hamburg, promises to
have most serious results. The vessel
was placed in quarantine after one of
the crew had been attacked by cholera,
but in the meantime number of the
ships company had departed for
their homes Six of them went to
Dundee, where they reside, while an
other of the crew went to Aberdeen.
Among those who went to Dundee was
Mr.. Walker, the engineer of the
Corona. Shortly after his arrival there
he was taken sick and died in few
hours. The physician who attended
him says there is no doubt that his
death was due to cholera.
When it became known that Mr..
Walker was dead the greatest excite
ment prevailed in Dundee and also in
Aberdeen, where the seventh member
of the crew ashore had gone. Steps
were at once taken by the health Of
ficers to isolate the remaining members
of the crew in Dundee and the one in
Aberdeen until all danger of their
| spreading the contagion is past.
The residents of both places, how
| ever, believe that the men have been
allowed to go about the towns long
enough to spread the disease, if they
carried the infection, and there is wide
spread anxiety prevailing in every
quarter of the towns. An eXtraordi.
nary watch will be kept in both places
for the first appearance of choleraic
disorders.
sailor arrived at Swansea Monday
from Cork. He was found to be suffer
ing with cholera and was Immediately
removed to the cholera hospital. The
appearance of the disease in Swansea
awakened the port authorities to the
responsibilities of their position and q
meeting was summoned to decide upor
measures for the prevention of any
further invasion.
BERLIN, Aug. 30.-The fulfillment Of
the promise made by the authorities o.
this city of publicly announcing the
| first case of Asiatic cholera occurring
here has greatly allayed the public in
auietude arising from exaggerated re
ports in regard to the disease. FifteeI
cases of cholera were reported Mon
day night, but none of these
We're of the Asiatic type. In tn,
districts of the city inhabited by
working people energetic measures
are being taken to keep them cleanset
and disinfected. Cases of cholera arr
reported in Ferver, near Magde burg
and Striegert in Mecklenburg. II
both places the disease was imported
from Hamburg. A dispatch from Halle
in Prussian Saxony, states that tw
cases of cholera have occurred in tina
city. One of the patients went Z
Halle from Hamburg.
