The Appeal to Governor Flower.
In regard to the appeal sent to Gov. |
ernor Flower, charging negligence on |
the part of the health officials, DR.. |
Jenkins said that they were false. |
Water had been taken out of his own |
reservoirs and supplied the passengers
on the Normannia daily. 1t was trans.
ported by the tug Manhattan. He said
that 1t was the duty of the HAMBURG
company TO see that water was supplied
passengers on the infected vessels and
that there was no interference or inter
ceptlon on the part of the health officers
when the company sent water from
Croton Lake. On the contrary, he said
ne assisted them in every possible way
and he did not hesitate to supply 1t him
self. he had sent disinfectants to all
the ships IN the lower bay and his as
slstants performed their duty faithfully.
Dr: Sanburn, he said, had personally
the ships in most thorough
manner. 1t was absolutely false that
dead bodies, with the knowledge of the
physicians, had been allowed to remain
on any ship. 1t was contrary to in.
structions, which were in no instance
and the bodies were removed
Is soon as possible. He did not know

he upper quarantine. He ridiculed the
statement that the death of the two
'hildren on the Wyoming was caused
~ sutfocation on account of alleged
ulphur used in disinfecting, and said
hat disinfection by steam was entirely
IIsed. The condition of Mrs. Person.
he mother of the two children who
led on the Wyoming, is reported worse

vas every symptom of cholera. Black
omiting was frequent. He did not
