 First and second class passengers left the liner when it berthed last night unaware the disease had gained a foothold in the steerage four days after the steamer left yokohama
 Eleven of the quarantined pas sengers are Filipinos and the re- mainder mostly Japanese.
 Paul York, ship doctor, said that when the first Filipinos came down with the disease, he isolated the othes and inoculated them but des- pite precautions, the disease spread throughout the CT ow d ed lower quarters and the only contact be- tween the steerage passengers and others on the liner was through Chinese servants who work upon the upper decks but sleep below. The sick were carried to the hos pital in a solitary city ambulance after the other ambulance services decided not to join in the work.
