Cholera Scare Grows as New York Battles Outbreak
New York reports one new cholera case and 30 stomach ache cases as Health Board tightens controls. Edward Hoppe of 1625 Madison Avenue dies after a brief illness, with bacteriological tests planned. Authorities isolate Hoppe’s apartment and expand medical inspectors while ferries and depots are asked to provide isolation spaces. The scene at wharves triggers police raids and immigration suspension calls as officials seek to halt spread amid Italian community concerns.

Authorities said excluding infected-house children may help, but mass quarantine is unnecessary and not legally supported.
