Ominous Signs of Cholora In New York.

ACTIONS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

Thoy Toml to Create the Ilclluf That the Pestilence Han Henehed tho City— Tho Dlsimso Does Not Kevin to

Abato lu Kurope.

SITUATION IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Rumors were In circulation Tuesday tlmt the scourge liud broken out in the city and that the health board was suppressing the fact. An address was issued to the public during the day giving a long series of "don'ts" to be observed in case of cholera symptoms and for the repression of tho contagion. This circular was given out for publication after a secret meeting of the board of health. It is the circular which it has hitherto been declared was not to be issued until cholera had actually appeared in the city. Yet, though making it public was authorized, President Wilson declared that "there Is no cholera her# at presont."

He admitted that there had been one case that looked suspicious, but said it had proven to be cholera morbus. The most persistent story was that there were three cases in the upper part of tho city, and that the secret of their existence had leaked out through the inadvertence of an employe of the health department. But it was impossible to verify this. Another version that was given as showing the probable truth of these stories was the Extraordinary measures that linve been and are being taken by all tho city ofiiclals. It was asserted that unless the situation were very grave indeed, the I'.oalth ofiicials would not be looking for cholera camps and floating hospitals, and issuing circulars calling the public attention to tl«^ best means of avoiding or dealing with the pestilence.

Quarantine ltule In Foreo.

The rigid rule made by Health Officer Jenkins which went into effect Monday providing that in future all vessels arriving from infected ports must remain off the health station at Fort Wadsvvorth, S. 1., with their steerage passengers from two to five days detained two transatlantic steamships Tuesday. They were the Ch-cassia, oi tho Aqchor line, which arrived from Qlasgoiv with 242 cabin and 370 steerAge passengers Monday night, and the Veefldam, of the Notlierhinds-Ameri-ca ti line, which got into quarantine Tuesday. The passengers on the Clrcassia were pronounced to be an unusually healthy lot, but nevertheless they. In company with those on the Veendam, will be taken to Hoil'man island and given a salt water bath. The cabin passengers will, after making declarations that they came from uninfected districts, be taken to the city In transfer boats after a rigorous examination and a thorough disinfection of their baggage.

Tuesday morning Quarantine Commissioners Allen. Anderson and Miller made an ollieial investigation to see ii everything was ready for the detention of suspected and the re coption of actual cholera patients and also to see if any changes were advisable. The commissioners were well satisfied with present arrangements and the only important additions to be made will be the erection of a laboratory on Swinburn island for the examination of cholera bacilli, and also a steam fumigator tc cost about $'25,000 and to be similar to the one on Hoffman Island.

M«Miiiurcs of Precaution.

One of the precautions against cholora which has been most carefully guarded from the newspapers is the bacteriological work going on at the health department laboratory and at Dr. Herman Biggs' private laboratory to give warning o( the llrst appearance of the scourge. For weeks past every suspicious case of cholera morbus or dj sentery. aud there are many such which only the health oflieers hoar of, have been followed up by a sanitary inspector of Dr. Robert's staff. So far there have been examined scores of specimens, but no trace of the Asiatic guest has been found.

Trensury Department Active. WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. Vigilance

against a cholera visitation is being urged by tho treasury department. Collectors of customs on the Canadian and Mexican frontiers are instructed to exercise special vigilance in tli examination of immigrants and their effects and to cooperate with the oflieers of tho Marine hospital service and local health officers in such actiou as they may deem advisable to prevent the introduction of cholera into tho United States. In case of the establishment of absolute quarantine a cordon can be drawn taut within an hour by telegram from the secretary, by which the United States would be shut out from the world on tho east. With the activo cooperation of state boards of health and other state ollicials the treasury department does not think it necessary to declare a national quarantine. It would be a very serious step to order a national quarantine against all the cholera infected ports, anil such a step will not be taken until the einer geney grows greater than at presont.

Canadian* Alarmed.

MONTUEAI., Can,, Aug. 81.—The epidemic of cholera lu Europe is creating an uneasy feeling here. One firm which Imports large quantities of toys and fancy goods from Germany has canceled its orders for the present season, and other firms are contemplating following suit. Tho local health authorities are fully aware of the danger to which the city Is exposed and are thoroughly on the alert. Tho visiting of the incoming stoainers goes on.

Quuimtt, Can., Aug. 111.—There is a regular oholera scare in this city. Physicians in this city urc of the opinion tliut although It Is almost impossible that a regular epidemic should break out this year, ydt there will in ull

probabity bo some isolated cases and that the disease will break out again in the spring. The authorities aro therefore taking all possible precautions.

Wants Immigration Suspended^!-'.-':/•' LANSING, Mich., Aug. 81. —The Mich­

igan state board of health has requested President Harrison by telegraph to suspend immigration until all danger from cholera is passed. l'laxue.Kldden Hamburg. llA.Mm:ito, Aug. 31.—Since Monday night there has been an enormous increase in the number of persons who have been attacked and who have died of cholera, 810 new cases and 319 deaths having occurred Tuesday. The interments Monday lasted far into the night, the total for the day being 2!)1. A feeling of deep gloom has settled over tho city. The loss to the commercial community is reckoned at several million marks daily. Tho exodus from the city is unabated, and the number of foreigners arriving hns fallen to the lowest on record. There wore only tTfenty-nine arrivals in all the hotels of the city Monday. The weather is damp and sultry temperature 84 degrees in the shade—conditions favorable to the progress of the epidemic.

Many cases of the disease are reported in Bnrmbeck, a village 3 miles northeast of Hamburg. This village contains a number of distilleries, an asylum for the insane, a hospital for the poor, a workhouse aud other charitable institutions.

Spitulwi strasse, a street in the neighborhood of tho horse market, in the harbor district, and in which about 9,000 persons reside, has been closed to traffic. All the theaters in the city have been closed for two weeks.

Tho Difioane at Other Points. ANTWERP, Aug. 31.—The cholera re­

turns show twenty-two new cases since Monday aud four deaths. Hitherto the epidemic has been most prevalent in the quarters adjoining the Scheldt, but now it appears to be spreading into the city from the river.

HAVRE. Aug. 31.—There was reported Monday iu this city seventy-one new cases of cholora, an increase of eleven cases as compared with Sunday's returns. The number of deaths was sev enteen, which is a decrease of seven compared with the death returns of Sunday.

ST. PKTKRSIIURO, Aug. 31.—The official returns show that in this city Monday there were reported I .Hi new cases of cholera and forty-one deaths. Thi is an increase of thirty-one new oases and sixteen deaths as compared with Sunday's figures.

It AppeitrH in I.ondnn.

LONDON, Aug 31.—Notwithstanding the quarantine that lias been established people from Hamburg are allowed to land, and as-a result two no cases of cholera have occurred in the City road, London. Tho district is filled with small houses and is densely populated.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 31.—Four Russian emigrants who were to sail hence fot America were on Tuesday stricken with the pestilence. They were at once removed to a hospital, where tliey aro closely watched to determine whother the disease is of the true Asiatic type.

No Traces of Poison.

FALL. RIVER, Mass., Aug. 31.—Late ovldence in the Borden murder case is decidedly favorable to the defendant. Tho prosecution has endeavored to prove that she tried to purchase poison with the intention, presumably, of giving it to her father and mother. An examination lias shown that their stomachs contained no poison and tho expert witness gave other testimony that plays havoc with the circumstantial evidence in the case.

GKEENsuuno, Pa., Aug. 31.—About a a. in. Tuesday the general store of J. Hughes, at Milwood, was entered by three unknown men, who bound and gagged tho clcrk, who with his family live in the same building, after which they took out almost all the goods, such as clothing, boots, shoes, dry goods, groceries, etc., amounting to about S1.A00, loaded them on wagons and hauled them away, leaving no positive clew to their identity.

JACKSON, Mich., Aug. :st.—IMwnn. Huntley, a twenty-year Detroit burglar: John Davis, a live-vear burglar from Kalamazoo, and "Lige" Bull.-ml. sent from Detroit for six years for assault with attempt to kill, tried to escape at 7 a. m. Tuesday from the. penitentiary by climbing the prison walls. Huntley and Davis were, fatally shot. All were captured.

Ai«unlted

the nnnl.

They were considered the three hardest criminals imprisoned, and their plan wus to gain their freedom by killing the guard. Each one had in his possession large knife, anil immediately after going to their shops Tuesday morning they drew their weapons and held their keepers at bay. Tliey took a ladder from one of tin: shops, and while lluntiey and Builard curried it to the west wall the keepers were kept off by Davis, who protected himself with a shield and his knife.

Tivo of Them Sliot.

The men mounted the ladder in the face of a guard armed with a Winches*tcr. Thoy were ordered to stop, but Davis told the guard to shoot if lie dared and they would kill him. The guard attempted to tiro twice, but the cartridges failed to explode, llv this time the tnen were on top of the wall and the guard retreated to the guard house followed by the three men attempting to stab him. They were determined to kill him and were battering down the door when other guards came to the rescue. The trio then made use of the stairs on the outside of tho wall and reached the gronnd. By this time the guards were in range and as the men refused to halt they opened fire. Huntley and Davis were both shot through the groin.

Billiard surrendered. The wounded prisoners were taken to the hospital and will probably die.
