A rumor disquietlng to the friends OF
Capt. Briant S, Wells and Mrs, Wells
was this morning stopped by relatives
OF the couple This rumor was that the
captain and his wife had been detained
in Manila harbor and had not been able
to land on account Of the prevalence Of
cholera in that city; and also that Mrs.
Wells was quite III. and that the san-
tary directors of Manila would not let
even a nurse out to the transport to
attend her,
Naturally this caused more than
little uneasiness among the friends of
Capt. and Mrs. Wells. But Thomas
Jennings. father OF Mrs. Wells, gave
the lie to the story this morning. When
asked about the rumor by News re-
porter, he said that there was nothing

expected. But II is reported that the
natives are very careless and make no
effort to obey the sanitary regulations,
which is retarding In no small meas
