CHOLERA is WITH US.
MORE DEATHS REPORTED FROM
THE GUARANTEED VESSELS,
And Grave Fears arc Entertained That
Number of New Cases Will Develop
Among Them-Other Cholera News.

| formation has been obtained, is practically
unchanged since Dr. jenkins returned from
the island last night and reported two addl-
tiOnal deaths ON the NOrmannia, one on th9
Rugia and one on the Moravia. NO COM
muncation whatever has been |nnade from
the lower to the upper quarantine. so 1t
is impossible to say whether there are any
fresh cases until DR.. Jenkins has received
| news and inparts it in his own time TO the
newspaper reporters. He has sent II request
to Mayor Grant for six patrol officers, VINO
will be stationed at quarantine ana arrest
! any person or persons endeavOrlnS TO conl-
| municate with vessels in the lower bay.
| All passengers in the steerase OIL the Nor
| MAMMA have been transferred to HOFFMAN
| island, where they will remain under OBJ
| servatiOn. Six cases of cholera were trans
| ferred to the hospital ON Swnburne island.
| This leaves the NOrmannia with no SICK ON
| board and with no steerage passengers
| The Moravia has no sick but has her
| cabin and steerage passengers on board.
| No fresh cases are likely to break out on

| have been thoroughly fumigated.
Three More Deaths; Four New Cases.
Fresh cases and mere deaths was the
bad report from the lower quarantine on
tho return of Health Officer Jenkins this
afternoon. Not only had deaths occurred
among the sick at Swnburn island, but
new cases and new deaths had taken place
ON board the fumigated and supposed to be
! disinfected mail steamer NOrmannla. All
the immigrants had been removed yesterday
and the crew and cabin passengers We're
looked on as absolutely safe. 1t was
thought that there was little chance of any
outbreak and Il forced quarantine was all
that was looked forward to.
| Prisoners the Infected Ships.
New York, September G.-From
this morning there vii! be, ;, to all
intents and purposes, dead line around
the quarantine ships in the lower bay.
| patr0hng police boats, assisted by some
| tugs of the federal government will circle
night and day around the so-called pest
| ships, cutting them off entirely from out
! side communication. The quarantine of
saloon passengers, up to the present, has
| been, thanks to newspaper enterprise, more
| in the nature of huge joke picnic.
Letters have been exchanged between the
detained suspects and the newspaper men
and others Oh board the many lively little
tugs which have been putting about the
cholera ships from the day the dark cloud
| of pestilence was first announced to be
lowering over our shores. But all this is
changed now: the grim reality of strict
| quarantine regulations IS now being en-
forced and a lot of prisoners, especially
those of the timid sex. are far from being
happy one.
How They Spend Their Time.
Ladies are passing the time in reading
| and chatting; gentlemen are hugging the
smoking room tables, playing cards and
spinning yarns as if nothing out of the or.
people daily enjoy picnics to the shores Of
Staten island. Sandy Hook and Coney
island. solely for the purpose Of gazing upon
the black hull. in the distance where so
many rich and poor are awaiting their
| fate.
Criticisms of health officers conduct of
the campaign against the cholera continue
to be heard on several sides, and there
seems to be no doubt that much has been
recently which should have been done
recently which should have been done
| DAYS ago. However, New York, today, is
| as free from the cholera scare as ever,
and everybody is going about his or her
business if there was no such thing
| as cholera at our doors.
Eleven in the Cooler.
There are now eleven steamships, big
and small, anchored off the upper board
ing station, including the Fnlda, La
Bourgogne, Persian Monarch, Darmstadt,
from Naples They will probably be de-
tanned until the last of the week at least.
The vessels and three infected ships are
constantly fumigated.
Cholera is Now in New York.

inc Asiatic cholera yesterday.

Chauncey Dcp-w Mt Anchor.
The Wyoming arrived last night with
27S cabin and 1863 steerage passengers
aboard, including fifty Russians. The
immigrants will be detained some time.
| The City. of New York also arrived.
She will probably be detained five days.
All her immigrants are from Great Britain
and no cholera exists among them. The
passengers include Chauncey Depew and
wife, and the daughter of Secretary Eos
ter. The Waisland got in during the morn
! ing from Antwerp with hundred cabin
and 40 stcerage passengers, and the Spree
from Bremen during the afternoon. AL
together there were twenty eight steamers
from all parts of the world at quarantine
station this morning. The Venezuela from
la Guayra, Adirondack from Jamaica,
! Mark Lane and Lisbonez from Para, were
allowed to proceed after n short detention.
| The principal released boat however, was
the Eulda, detained since Sunday. The
cabin passengers on the Corean, from Glas-
gov, were taken off and the freight boat,
Massachusetts, from London, was released.
| The quarantine is costing the steamships
a pretty penny and it is estimated that the
Hamburg companies loss is about $1,000
a day.
There were no fresh deaths or new cases
on the Rucia Or Normannia up to this af-
ternoon. but it is expected several of the
sick will die.
Tho Guaranteed Kick Hard.
New York, September S--A dispatch
received here today from quarantine at $50
| o'clock announces that the quarantine steam
ers Normanna and Rugia have hoisted the
yellow flag again, and that the same
| signal is flying at Hoffman island. These
signals indicate that there are more cholera
| cases this morning on the Normannia and
! Rugia and on Hoffman island, for it was
agreed yesterday between the health officers
and commanders of the steamships mention
ed that the yellow flag, after yesterday was
| not to be hoisted unless as notification
that additional cases of cholera have been
! discovered. The record yesterday was eight
fresh cases among the crew of the Norman
