ship Company, has received advices from
the Orient stating that no whites are sick

which, it is reported. is carrying off many
people in China. Mr.. Prichard said:
81 believe the reports are very much ex-
aggerated. The next steamer to arrive is
the Sikh, and will probably be in Victoria
Saturday. Should there be any sickness
aboard. or II it is desirable 10 quarantine
the Chinese aboard, we shall place them
in quarantine there and bring the vessel
here. after inspection at Port Townsend.
The steamers from the Orient must pass
both the Victoria and Port Townsend
quarantine stations before coming here, so
there Is no chance for any cholera cases to
reach this port 1t Is required that the
vessel shall be fourteen days out after
touching an infected port, and the Sikh
will be over fourteen days out before ar
irving at Victoria. therefore ii there were
any cases aboard they would be fully de-
yeloped before arriving on our shore"

foreigners understand that the troops are
coming, and the highway leading
from this place into Walston is
swarming with hordes of Italians
and Huns. who are greatly agitated.
The greatest fear is now that there
will be an attack on the English-speaking
miners and their families. They have
been driven from their homes, and In the
darkness fathers aud husbands have been
separated from children and wives, and
the children are running around crying
for protection.
