The epidemic Of cholera along the Medi-
terranean and the presence OF cholera in
this harbor on incoming liners and the
strict quarantine maintained by the health
officer at this port have disrupted steam
ship schedules and caused a big loss TO
several steamship lines with ships in the
Mediterranean trade
The steamship Cleveland. OF the Ham
burg-American Line. which arrived on
Sunday from Hamburg and was scheduled
to sail for Naples on Saturday. will have to
abandon her Mediterranean trip and will
go instead to Hamburg The steamship
Moltke. OF the HamburE-Amerfcan Line
which has been in Quarantine since last
Tuesday. was scheduled 10 leave New York
for Naples on Saturday. but the discovery
of what may be another case of cholera
may detain her FIVE days longer
steamship lying in port earns nothing
and Is expense to the owners. The
MOltke has had TO lie idle at Quarantine
and 10 feed nine hundred immigrants held
aboard for observation.
The steamship Madonna. OF the Fabre
Line, lost heavily In steerage traffic De-
cause the cholera had prevented her calling
at Naples. Instead Of bringing over five
or six hundred Italians she sailed from
Marseilles with only eight steerage pas
sengers, all of whom were French
