FIGHT AGAINST
CHOLERA PLAGUE
The Dreadful and Fatal Scourqe
Makes lis Appearance at
New York.
FIVE VICTIMS ARE DEAD
There are Fifteen Others Cases in the
Detention Camp-A Spread
OF the Disease Is
Feared.

New York, July 1.-THE fight 10
! bar the cholera scourge from enter
ing this city continued here today,
with federal expert helping the To-
cal health department Five deaths
( from cholera have already been re-
ported at the Swinburn Island de
tention station, and with fifteen 9TH
/ err cases now in detention there the
city's real danger is clearly shown.
In view of the seriousness of the sit
uation DR. Alvah Doty, the New
York health officer, has given out
the following statement:
At the present time we are deal
ing with very serious outbreak of
cholera in Italy and other sections of
the Mediterranean, where it has in
creased in virulenee since last year.
A majority of the vessels which re-
Gently have come from Italy either
have brought actual cases of this
4 disease or furnished evidence of its
4 having occurred in transit. 1t IS with
great difficulty that the latter con.
dition is combatted and it is onl,
through most exhaustive bacteria
logical examination that we are able
| to secure the facts.
cit is in the presence of these con
! ditions when the confidence of the
public in this department should not
be uniustly disturbed nor its facil-
ties for protecting the public health
diminished that the man appointed
to investigate this department makes
the amazing declaration which Com
missioner Bulger makes this morn
ing in the midst of the hearing with
no testimony in reply yet Offered
THE quarantine department OF
every port in this country is facing a
very serious and onerous task dur
ing the coming summer. 1t is not I'M
probable that many vessels arriving
from the cholera infected districts
of Italy within the next few weeks
will bring one or more cases OF this
disease. The crisis is drawing heaVi-
ly on the resources of my depart
ment. 1t also puts an unusual strain
upon the discipline of the depart
/ ment.
