Secretary Curzon Explains IN Reference
to armenia.
LONDON, Eng, Sept. BIN the House
of Commons to-day George N. Curzon,
Foreign Secretary, stated that the COM
munications that had been received from
the Porte relative to the reorganization of
the system of government in Armenia were
not satisfactory. The project of the new
Armenian reorganization had not received
the official support of Germany, Austria
and Italy, he said, but the powers were in
sympathy with the movement and had in
an unofficial way advised Turkey of their
favorable consideration of the scheme.
Mr.. Curzon declined to state what course
the Government would pursue in the case
nor would he undertake to say that no
action except in a diplomatic way would
be taken without Parliament being pre-
viously informed thereof. In regard to
Sassoun, he said, no difficulty was ex-
pected in the distribution of relief
Sir NJ. w. Ridley, Home Secretary,
stated that the Home Office had no power
to order public inquiry under judicial
forms in the case of Mrs. Mavbrick, now
serving life sentence in the Working
Prison for the murder of her husband.

NO CHOLERA CAME OVER,
Rigid Investigation of the Story
About Deaths on the
BelgiC.
Pacific Coast Ports Too Well In
spected for the Entry of Con-
tagious Diseases.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 3.-Sur-
geon-General Wyman of the Marine Hos
pital service has instituted rigid investi-
CATION into the facts in regard to the
arrival of the steamer Belgic at San Fran
cisco. This is the steamer that is sup
posed to have brought cholera-infected
Chinese and Japanese to Honolulu, and
then to have proceeded to San Francisco,
where her steerage passengers passed the
quarantine officials and were landed.
Press reports stated that the Belgic landed
at San Francisco with three dead China
men in the steerage, all of whom had died
from cholera, August 81. Surgeon-Gen-
eral Wyman had wired DR.. Godfrey, in
charge of the Marine Hospital at San
Francisco, giving him an abstract of the
press dispatches and directing him to in
vestigate them.
A reply was received from DIR. Godfrey
to-day stating that these Cinnamon did
not die from cholera. No evidence has
been adduced tending to show that there
was cholera on the Belgic at any time,
either before or after leaving China, but
the Marine Hospital service, taking the
worst view upon the supposition that
cholera did exist, is looking into the VIII ole
matter thoroughly, and within few days
all the steerage passengers will be located.
The sanitary inspector at San Francisco,
the port where the Belgic landed, is under
the supervision of local health officers,
although the quarantine apparatus is con-
trolled by Federal officials, who disinfect
and otherwise care for vessels after they
have been sent there by local authorities.
The Pacific Coast appears to be we'll
guarded and it does not seem probable
that cholera ship could make an entry
anywhere on the coast without detection.
The quarantine stations at Port Townsend
and San Diego, the remaining principal
ones on the Pacific Coast, are under the
control of the Marine Hospital service,
and at other minor ports sanitary inspec-
tors have been appointed who will act in
conjunction with the local health authori-
ties. Cholera has never been brought to
this country from the Pacific side and
there is little fear that it can enter even
should 1t prove true that it reached Homo
lulu in form more or less malignant:

last fiscal year.
The expenditures for the like period
were ST., 156. 246, against SOS, 305 ,219 for the

in customs as compared with the two
months of the last fiscal year of more than

drawals of spirits from bond during July

treasury deficit for the fiscal year caused by
excess of expenditures over receipts is
stated at $13 1854. Last year, for a like
period, the receipts had exceeded the ex-
penditures by Sc, 921, 726.
