FIRE ISLAND, Sept. 13.-From all indica-
tiors the payments little war is over.
Davis S. S. Tammis, late proprietor of
the hotel, said the trouble of a tempest in a
teapot was that some of the baymen were
excited by people VINO had political meas
res to serve, and became impressed more
r less with the idea That the establish
ment of quarantine at Fire Island would
iniure business. This is all bosh and they
now know it is so, and practically admit it.
The Normannia's passengers were all
landed and will be made as comfortable as
possible.
The sheriff informed Governor Flower
that there was no further use for the
troops. 1t is expected the military Will be
withdrawn tomorrow and that they Will
not 20 TO Fire island. The Associated
Press correspondent subsequently inter
viewed a number of leading men of all
classes, resident baymen and the hotel
man, and all JOIN in saying that tue views
expressed by Tammes are undou btedly
correct in all the main particulars. One
fact became evident to the correspondent
aud that was that TO quarantine people on
Fire island was q farce of the very worst
description. At least dozen boats came
from the island TO the main land and there
landed loads OF people, who, II seemed
from their conversation generally ana from
their admission, that several had been in
close communication and conversation with
the Normannia's detained cabin passen-
gers.
J he sheriff has assured Governor Flower
that the people viii abide by the law and
there is no further need of troops or a
posse. Thus ii Will be seen that all trouble
here appears to have blown over. Definite
news from the Dayshore meeting has not
been received here, and it is reported 1t
resulted in a complete bscBdown of the
baymen.
Atl2:30 p. M dispatch was received
from Governor Flower addressed TO Sheriff
Darling saying that the governor prefer ed
that the sheriff should remain at Babylon
for the present and the troops would also
remain there until all danger of interior
ence with the state authorities had passed.
AT this hour all is quiet
B6sTLE AT THE HOTEL.
Great hustle followed the arrival of the
Passengers at the hotel. Considering the
fact that 200 guests arrived within five
minutes, it was natural that some confu-
elcn should result. Such progress was
made by the temporary hotel clerk, shat In
side OF two hours ali were comfortably
located.
Gray haired men jumped about in the
sand like boys. The second ca0in passen-
gers were put in the westerly emo, and the
first class IN the essterly. Al $50
SUPPER WAS SERVED.
It would be difficult to find happier
crowd than that which filed the dining
room. Conventionalisies were cast aside.
Everyone knew everyone else and con
gratulations were showered from every
quarter of the room. All the passengers
eho F.,l fba no,
Cepheus tonight.
In reply to the offer of the men from
Islip TO withdraw the Injunction if the
governor would promise to sell the hotel
MIR. Flower sent the following telegram:
S A Jennings:
Your dispatch received and your proposition
declined The conduct OF the people Of Isp IN
refusing shelter 10 the passengers OF the Nor
mania ana in attempting. by force 10 prevent q
landing on state property, is a disgrace to our
commonwealth. The state accepts 10 terms
IRON lawbreakers except submission TO its au
thorlty. Your proposition is an insult to the
executive and state. fSingned-l

Late tonight men are circulating among
the passengers in the hotel offering to run
