MCLAUGHLIN IS ON THE SCENE American Surgeon Watch
 ing Cholera. PLEASED WITH CONDITION He Thinks America is in No
 Danger. berlin Reports Rather Pronounced spread of Disease, Having Dis
 covered Thirteen New Cases
 Situation Elsewhere.

Hamburg, Sept. GA case of cholera, i the third up to date, was found today 1 in the heart of the business and hotel l districts here. The new case is that | of Polish woman, the wife of coach
 man living in a'thickly populated alley. | She was taken to the isolation hospital. l The house in which the woman was l found and several adjacent houses have l been quarantined with all their occu- 1 pants.
 The many physicians inquiring into | the case are puzzled as to the origin of | the infection as the locality is quite
 distant from any place where cmi-
 grants go pr: Mclaughlin, of the U. | s. Marine Hospital Corps, visited the house. In this as well as in other respects he has every facility. The doctor says that so long as the water l Is not affected there is no danger of an | epidemic. The authorities trace the latest case of cholera to the same source as the other two. When the Russian I emigrants came to Hamburg they were permitted to enter the town, where they visited a dance hall. Here the woman | evidently came into contact with them. She now lies in the Eppendorfer hos pital, but may recover.
 Dr. Mclaughlin. in an interview with | the Associated Press, today said:
 Mclaughlin Pleased.
 T am very much pleased with the | frankness and openness both of tho au- | thorities and the steamship companies. Today was informed of the discovery l of the latest case before 1t was official | ly published and this information en- abled me to promptly visit the infected house and neighborhood in which 1t is | situated found that the precautions taken were most effective.
 The methods of the Hamburg Amer
 lean Steamship Company are very thor l ough and there is no danger of the dis ease reaching to the United States. The American regulations require the de- | tention of enigrants from an infected country for five days, which is the pe- | riod of incubation for cholera, while the company here detains all emigrants bound for the United States for at least six days. I shall have no hesitancy in giving a clean bill of health to the l Graf waldereze for the thousand emil grants now detained on the Bulgaria
 in midstream below, Hamburg. Past Assistant Surgeon Mclaughlin,
 who arrived here yesterday from Naples under orders to make a thorough irves- tigation of the situation here, and who ] has been instructed to enforce the United States Treasury regulations rel ative to ships leaving for American ports, began. his work today. He vis- | ited the quarantine station and will go
 to ouxhaven. and there examine the ABVVV eLnABTdHIS WhSu they VIII DC ! transferred from the Bulgaria to the Graf Waldersee, on which they will sail | for America

 The infected area was considerably widened today. The river Oder has be- come tainted. Three cases have been | reported from the administrative dis- | trict of Frankfort-on-the-Od Oder. Thirty boatmen have been quarantined at Kur- trin. a railway town. Sharp sanitary
 precautions have been taken throughout | the district.
