Line. will arrive from Naples to-mor-
row morning without a passenger. She
had been booked to capacity. which Is
about seven hundred passengers.
The vessel was reported at 7:l6 a. m.
yesterday as being 72s miles cast o,
Sandy Hook. which should bring her to
Quarantine at a. m. tomorrow.
She had plenty of passengers on
board until a few hours before she sailed
from Naples. on July s.
Accustomed 10 carry a full steersgc
complement. the San Giorgio was ready
TO sail for New York loaded with be-
tween 500 and 200 aliens, when q cable
message was received at Naples inform
ing the line that the United States gov
ernment had increased the time OF quar-
antne of vessels bound from Naples 10
the United States from five days TO ton.
The san Giorgio had already obcycd
the customary five-day regulation, and
vas prepared to depart with its passen-
gers and a big cargo.
Captain Romano. in command Of tho
steamship. was much displeased. hur-
ried conference with his principals re-
suited In the decision of the owners to
disem bark the San Giorgio's passenger
and order the vessel to sail for New
York on schedule time, because Of its
: large consignment of west bound freight.
The handling Of steerage business is
the most proftab bic department of "a
steamship company's activities. II the
' passengers should not care TO como IN
the United States on another vessel OF
the compapy's fleet, then the money they
had paid To the line must, OF course, be
refunded. 1t was Disappointing and ex-
pcnsive from both points of view
Also, the new rule Of the government
, requiring ten instead Of Ave DAYS de-
, tention at the Italian port OF embark

Eleven Cases at Swinburne Island.
DR.. Alyah II. Doty, Health Officer ~
the Port, said last night that Bermu-
des. the Spanish sailor who was found
TO be suffering from cholera AT Bellevue
moved to Swinburne Island Hospital
that night, was in serious condition.
p Dr. Doty said he had not yet found ont
the name of the vessel that brought
Bermudes here.
There are now eleven cases OF actual
cholera at Swinburne Island. There
were, however, no deaths from the dis
ease yesterday, and no developments.
Tho steamship Perugia, in Quarantine
since July IL with 259 passengers. and
the steamship Principe di Piedmontc. in
Quarantine since July 20, with $40 pas
sengers, will probably be discharged to-
day. said DR.. Doty. There are still sew
cral hundred immigrants under observa-
) ton at Hoffman Island.
The Department of Health believes
that the prompt detection OF the Ber-
b nudes case at Bellevue Hospital and
| the fumigation of possible sources Of in
fection at the sailors lodging house in
Roosevelt street will be effective in
averting any spread of the disease
