inv TELEGRAPH TO THE TrrprSs.l

was Informed last night that Governor Black
contemplated such a step. unless the TYPHOID
PATIENTS in the general hospital here were re-
moved Ia New-York CITY hospitals, as DIT poty
advised should be done last week, whom he was
here and to-day he telephoned "a Surgeon-Gen-
eral Starnbere at Washington the information
he had received.
General Sternhere said in reply that ne would

corning thc matter and that he would arrange
TO have the typhoid fever cases removed from
Montauk rs soon n possible. Dr. Doty Is OK

Young and advise with him regarding the quar-
antine and the typhoid patents. Some difficulty
has been experienced in keeping the men In the
detention camp. when once taken there
Many Of them feel pretty well. and do not
seem TO think there is anything about them TO
be afraid Of. and a few having FOUND means
"a get ont have strolled down to the station
There it did not take them long to run across
the provost guard. in command Of Captain
George T. Chase. of Troop D. Sd Cavalry ana
they were promptly ordered back to their camp
They went without any grumbling. and dld not
stop until they got back where they belonged
Their transgression Of the quarantine rules
seemed to arise for the most part from not thor
oughlv understanding the condition. under
which they have come here. Where there has
been no infection on board ship they appear 1"
think there Is no danger from their minsIlhE
among the other soldiers, but General YOUNG
and the surgeons consider otherwise Ihey 90
not wish the slightest possibility OF injection 10
exist. and that is the reason they have sent All
troops arriving from Santiago to the peteh'io"
Camp. With a provost guard out. In addition 10
Tie camp guards IL seems hardly possible now
that any of the detained soldiers can stray far
from their camp
