LOCATING THE sTEERAGE PASSENGERS

! ci Washington, Sept. 3.-Surgeon-Ge General Wyrnan of the marine hospital service has instituted a rigid investigation into : the facts in regard to the arrival of the steamer Belgic at San Francisco. This is the steamer that is supposed to have Drought cholera infected Chinese and Japanese to Honolulu and then to have proceeded to San Francisco, where her si steerage passengers passed the quaran- ! tine of this port and were landed Press reports stated that the Bclgic landed at i. San Francisco with three dead Chnamen in the steerage, all of whom had dled from cholera August 31
 aelSurgeon- General Wyman wired pr. Godfrey. in charge of the marine hos pital at San Francisco, giving him an abstract of the press dispatches and dl- recting him to investigate them. A re- ply was received from Dr. Godfrey to- dav stating that these Chinamen had not died from cholera No evidence mas been adduced tending to show that there was cholera on the 13elgic at any time either before or after leaving China, but the marine hospital service, taxing the worst view and acting upon the sup position that cholera did exist IS looking into the whole matter thoroughly, and within a few days all the steerage pas  sengers will be located.
 The sanitary inspection at San gran cisco the port where the Belgic landed, is under the supervision of local health and boarding officers, although the quar antine apparatus is controlled by federal officials. who disinfect and otherwise care for vessels after they have been nt there by local authorities
 The Pacific coast appears to be well guarded and it does not seem posslp that a cholera ship could make any en- try anywhere on the coast without de lection. The quarantine stations at Port Townsend and San Diego, the remain ing principal ports on the gulf coast. are under the control of the marine hospital service, and at other minor ports san itary inspectors have been appolnteu, wha will act in conjunction with the local health authorities. Cholera has never been brought to this country from the Pacific side and there is little rear that it can enter, even though it should prove true that it has reached Honolulu ln form more or less malignant.
