The report Of the ships surgeon on this
particular case Is similar In almost every
material point to that submitted by the
ships surgeon of the plague ship Bohe

OF cholera to this port last year.
There was an evident effort upon the
part OF the ships surgeon to conceal the
true nature of the disease which so sud
denly terminated fatally.

Hoffman Island has been in readiness
for just such an emergency for weeks
past. and the health authorities are fully
prepared to receive the 46s passengers OF
the Karamania, to wash them and dis
infect their clothing. and to put them
through the entire formurh pfestfibed by
Health Onicer Jenkins for the treatment
of suspected cases with the greatest ex-
pedition.

The ship will be detained for five days
in any event. but II any Of the immi-
grants should develop any suspicious
symptoms while on Hoffman Island
thew will at once be removed to Swim
burne Island for the purpose of isola-
ton and treatment. and the period Of the
detention of the ship extended.
1t is probable that in the event Of no
further sickness among the passengers
the ship may be allowed to proceed
to her dock with her cargo at the end Of
five days.
Health Officer jenkins went to the
city last night Immediately upon receiv-
ing the ships surgeons report. He re-
turned to Quarantine at 9 o'clock this
morning.
He denied he had been In consulta-
ton with the health authorities Of the
city.
He said there was no reason why he
should confer with them; that there was
at present no case of sickness among the
Karamania's passengers. and that he
was fully confident and we'll enough pre-
pared to meet any exigency that might
arise.
He would not say positively that the
three deaths mentioned were not caused
by cholera. Neither would he say that
they were due to cholera.

Sneak Thief Gets Judge Cald.
Wells Top Coat.
One of those domestic foes, sneak
thief, piled his trade under the very
nose of the law yesterday. carrying
away $50 overcoat belonging to Judge
Caldwell, VINO has been here some time
sitting on the bench OF the United States
circuit court of appeals. In the pockets
of the coat were gloves, silk handker-
chief and small sum of money.
1t has been the custom of Judge
caldwell, when he should don his
silk gown and leave his chambers
in the federal building, to go to the
court room, to lock the door of his
room. After leaving the bench yester-
day he went to his room OH the second
floor, OF the government building. and
about neGn stepped into the adjoining
room to speak to Judge Sanborn. He
had mot been gone more than three
minutes when he returned to find that
his coat had disappeared In the mean
time. Judge Caldwell rang his electric
bell, and, calling the court messenger,
dispatched him for a policeman. In
few minutes the police of this city, as
well as Minneapolis, were given a de-
ScrIption of the missing garment, with
view of keeping a lookout at the
pawnShopS for the coat The thief
made good his escape, and it is doubt
fUl if the police will ever recover the
stolen article.
