New YORK, Sept. 3.-Sunrse at the
narrows was chilly with slow using log.
Conditions as to numbers or tie hce' III
quarantine grounds had changed greatly
from last night by the addition OF the
three anxionsly looked for arrivals from
Hamburg, viz The Rugia, Stubbenhuk
and the express steamer Normannla.
AS aEnatura result the air was filled with
reports of cholera cases on one or all
of the vessels, but all stories were
speculative as none of the ships
had been inspected. Determined that
none of the suspected ships should get
to close range, DR.. Jenkins went aboard
at midnight and as a result the three
ships named were ordered to the lower
hay to await his further pleasure. When
asked about the disposition of the pas
sengers Of the infected vessels at II rs a.
M, DR.. Jenkins, after his much needed
rest, was seen by the reporters and said
for publication: "Gentlemen, according
to my reports there were nine cases of
|
convalescents and four deaths On the
Normania there were five deaths and
there are now four convalescents. On
the Moravia there is one additional case
of cholerine. 1t is an eight year OLD
boy. All the convalescent cases are very
serious. Further deaths are expected
today. All three ships will be held in
definitely. All the sick and dead en-
barked at Hamburg. The Rugia has
been isolated as much as possible and
everything will be done to prevent the
spread of the disease. DR.. jenkins said
the sick would be transferred to Swim
burnc Island at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Only the latter which are regard
ed as seriously i'll will be thus removed,
disposition of the rest of the cabin and
steeragc passengers will be deter
mined later. The Normannia will not
leave her anchorage in the lower Day for
al least three days and perhaps not for a
week, as the health officers have become
greatly alarmed over the fresh outbreak
on the Moravia, and fear that such q
thing may occur on that vessel. The
first and second class passengers of the
Normannia, who. as is customary on al
vessels, are privileged to travel all ovel
the steamer during the voyage, were
not allowed to do SO during this
trip after the outbreak on tn,
