FIRE ISLAND On. ", Sept. 13.-From
all indications the bay mems little war is
over. David S. S. Sammis, late proprietor
of the hotel, said the trouble was a tenn
pest in teapot. Some Of the bay men,
excited by people who had political meas
ures to serve, became impressed more or
less with the idea that the establishment
Of quarantine at Fire Island would in
jure their business. This is all bosh, and
they now know it, and practically adj
nit it.
The Normannia's passengers were all
landed, and will be made as comfortable
as possible. The Sheriff informed Gov
ernor Flower that there was no further
use for the troops. 1t is expected that the
military will be withdrawn tomorrow,
and they will not go to Fire Island.
An Associated Press correspondent
subsequently interviewed a number of
leading men OF all classes. residents, bay
men aud hotel men, and all join in saying
that the views expressed by Sammis
were undoubtedly correct in all the main
particulars. One fact became evident to
the correspondent, and that was that the
quarantine people on Fire Island made
farce of the very worst description. At
least dozen boats came from the island
to the main land and there landed loads
of persons, who, it seemed from the con-
yerSatlOn generally and from the admiS-
sion of several, had been in close COM
munlcatlon and conversation with the
Normannia's detained cabin passengers.
The Sheriff assured the Governor that
the people will abide by the law, and
there is no further need of troops or posse.
Thus it will be seen all trouble here APP
pears to have blown over. Definite news
from the bay shore meeting has not been
received here, but it is reported that it
resulted in the complete backdown of the
bay men.
At ll:30 P. NJ. dispatch was received
from Governor Flower, addressed to
Sheriff Darling, saying that the Governor
preferred that the Sheriff should remain
at Babylon for the present, and the troops
would also remain there until all danger
of interference with the State authorities
has passed. AT this hour all is quiet
a great hustle followed the arrival of
the passengers at the hotel. Considering
the fact that 800 guests arrived within
| five minutes, it is natural that some con-
| fusion should result. Such progress was
| made by the temporary hotel clerks that
| inside of two hours all were comfortably
| located. Gray-haired men jumped about
| in the sand like boys. The second cabin
passengers were put in the westerly and
| the first cabin in the easterly section.
At $50 supper was served. 1t would
| be difficult to find happier crowd than
| that which filled the dining-room. Con-
ventionallties were cast aside, everyone
| knew everyone else, and congratulations
| were showered from every part of the
room. No strict quarantine is main
tanned. A wind storm is now raging and
| all the passengers are thankful that they
are not on the Cepheus tonight.

and your proposition declined. The conduct
of the people of ISlp in refusing shelter to the

SUSPECTED CASES IN NEW YORK.
| New YoRK, Sept. 14.-It was rumored
around the Health Department this after
noon that two cases of cholera were dis
covered in the city, but Health Commits
sioner Bryant stoutly denied the truth of
the report. He stated that two or three
| suspected cases of cholera were reported.
and they were now being Investigated.
Chief Inspector Roberts of the Health
| Board said he had under investigation
some suspected cases, but he did not
think they were cholera.
The Governor has reconsidered his in
! tention Of calling out the Fourteenth and
| and Forty-seventh Brooklyn regiments,
but sent the Thirteenth Brooklyn instead
The Chamber of Commerce Committee
| have advised that fund of $3.50, 900 be
| placed at their disposal, and subscrip-
| tons are now being received.
Visitors to Governor Flowers room in
| the Windsor Hotel this afternoon sug-
gested TO him that his ordering out the
| troops might loose him some votes on
| Long Island. He replied: 81 don't care
d-n for votes, but am going to put
| down lawbreakers and put the State in
| possession OF its property"
