man Island Sept. 4.
Christine Hansen, aged 10, from the
steamship Rugia, admitted Sept. 9.
Late yesterday afternoon the City of
New York and WieslRnd were formally
released and made haste to their piers.
The passengers on these ships, as soon as
the anchors were clear of the bottom,
gave vent to their Joy by loud cheers, and
on the French liner the steam fog siren
ct the bow gave forth three weird shrieks,
presumably expressive of the feelings of
freedom.
In the hospital on Swinburne Island
there are 81 cases now pending, viz: So
males, 10 females and Is children. OF
the total number Is are sick and 80 are
suspects. DIR. Walser has cleaned up on
the Moravia as we'll as possible
The features of the day, beyond the
record of the status of affairs at Lower
Quarantine, were the formal tender of
the Sound steamer Stonington by Mr.. j.
Pierrepont Morgan, who chartered her at
his own expense that the cabin passen-
gers of the beleaguered Normannia may
not longer be compelled to stay on the
infected vessel. The StoninGton will be
here to-day and stationed at convenient
point, yet to be determined upon. She
will be used for the purpose named until
the Normannia's passengers have been re-
leased, and afterward will provide q
home for first-class passengers on suspect
ships yet to come.
The arrangement for the Camp of
Refuge at Sandy Hook had been pro-
crossing all day, in ignorance of the War
| Departments refusal of the site Secre-
tary Foster, who with Secretary Tracy,
is deeply interested in the matter, said
yesterday morning:
Sin all likelihood the Reading Railroad
will begin relaying it's track on the
Point Immediately. This track when
finished, will, of course, greatly facilitate
| the transportation of supplies.
IF the plague continues for any length
of time the railroad will, of course,
| be used by refugees as they are dis
charged.
81 do not know who will pay for tn Q
erection of tents, barracks, ETC., whether
it will be the State or Federal govern
ment or the steamship companies.
"However, there need be no pres
ent trouble on that score. A
w aalthy gentleman called ON me and
offered to undertake all construction and
stand all expense and take his chances Of
getting his money back from the party
| liable therefor. / am not at liberty to
give you the gentleman's name. He is
not a contractor.
LAS understand the matter, only cabin
passengers are to be put ashore on the
Hook. Whether there will be any differ
ence made between first and second cabin,
l don't know.
There has been some talk of the danger
of the infection being increased by the
presence of these passengers ON land. So
far as that matter is concerned / will say
that l have the greatest confidence in the
discretion of DR.. Hamilton and DR.. Jen-
kins. They will consider that point thor
oughly"
But, when DR.. Jenkins and Surgeon
Hook the former found several importa mt
kilograms awaiting him, and was made
aware that there were serious complica-
tions which practically rendered mega
tory the entire work of the day. In an
swer to the telegram of the War Depart
ment for tents, which Avere expected here
by tonight, he received the followin 6
from Acting Secretary Of War Lewis A.
Grant:
Secretary Fosters telegram was re-
ceived and an unfavorable reply sent hi N
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. For this rea
= son the 400 tents at our service have not
yet gone forward, pending your advice ,
= The apparent conflict between the
energetic intentions of Secretary Foster
- and Secretary Tracy (who have been in
New York consulting for the benefit o.
the unfortunate people on the ships) an6
the wishes of the War Department were
shown by the following dispatch from
Austin Corbin:
81 am exceedingly sorry to get a dis
patch from the War Department saying
they had refused to the Secretary of tn,
Treasury the use Of Sandy Hook for thu
cabin passengers. OF course, this block
any attempt on our part to erect barrack
there. had the lumber thought and I
was being loaded, and it would have beeI
at Sandy Hook this evening. larg
force of carpenters had been engaged, in
Guiding all from the Long Island Rail
road, and it is quite too bad that we can
| not bring relief In the form proposed"
