REPORT FROM MARSEILLE
American Authorities Kept Informed
of Situation at Foreign Ports.
ITALIAN VESSEL ARRIVES
Ship Reaches New York With Over
400 Passengers, But No Sus-
poets Among Them.

The campaign Of the federal authorities
to safeguard the country from the raw
ages of cholera, which has rolled up
elsewhere abroad, is already producing re-
suits. Today the public health service
was notified. through the State Depart
ment, that four cases of cholera have
ing fatal and that one OF the cases has
been traced to Italy. Marseille is notori-
ously slow in officially admitting such
conditions. and it is likely that there are
more cases there than are conceded by
the authorities. The port is ono Of the
leading ones in Europe. and craft are
constantly putting in there from Italy,
where cholera Is epidemic. United States
representatives at all other important
points are prepared to notify the Wash
ington authorities instantly in case OF de-
velopIren entS.
Another Case From the Moltke.
From New York word came to the pub
lie health service today that there Was
one new case Of cholera from the pas
sengers of the steamer Moltke, which
brought the disease from Italy and that
there was one new suspect among those
detained from the Moltke's steerage pas
senger list. All these cases are being
handled by concerted efforts of the fed
raj and local authorities, and spread Of
the disease from them is being guarded
against. OF the Motke cases, nine re-
main under treatment and five OF them
are already convalescent.
Passed Asst. Surgeon Won Ezdorf tele-
graphed Surgeon General Wymann today

and the German steamship Berlin are ex-
pected at New York within a week,

Genoa and Naples, cities which have fur
nished most of the cholera cases thus far
imported Under the state and federal
rules she will be detained for ten days,
and the period may be longer If 1t is
found that many of her crew OF pas
sengers have the disease.
Owing to the quarantine regulations re-
Gently enforced by the Italian govern
ment on emigrantS before they sail, the
health authorities here hope future ar
rivals from Mediterranean ports will give
them less trouble than the steamers
Moltke and the Perugia. whose pas
sengers are still in quarantine.
Satisfactory conditions We're reported to-
day at both the Swinburne Island Hos
pital, where the actual cases of cholera
are treated, and at Hoffman Island, where
the health officers are watching some 6O
immigrants. whose freedom from the dis
ease is still improved. There have been
no more deaths since the seventh patient
died yesterday at the Swinburne Island
Hospital.

reported all well on board excepting two
cases of measles and six OF whooping-
cough. He said he had found no symp-
toms OF cholera during the passage. De-
spite this reasSuring report, however. all
aboard will have to undergo examination
