LOON LAKE, Sept. 18.-President Har
rison received telegram tonight from
the secretary of the treasury saying thu
cholera crisis is practically past, ane
that there appears to be no longer any
danger of the spread of the disease.
NO NEW CASES IN NEW YoRE.
New York, Sept. 18.-The board o.
health issued bulletin this afternoon
in which it stated that no cases of sus
pected cholera has appeared since the
last bulletin, and no deaths from cholera
had occurred since Thursday. The re-
port OF the bacteriologists in the case ol
Mary Connerty, suspected cholera
case, was to the effect that no spirillium
of cholera was discovered.
THE PLAGUE KNOCKED OUT.
QUARANTINE, Sept. 18.--The only
death reported among the detained
ships today, was that of a child on
board the Scandia, who died of maras-
mus. There were no new cases and no
deaths on board any OF the chips, or on
the islands, and it would appear that
the cholera spectre is now safely de-
fested.
The Rugia will discharge her cargo
into the lighters tomorrow, and will GO
back to Hamburg.
The Suevia, probably, in day or two,
will be allowed to come up, having no
sickness on board.
DR.. Jenkins thinks he will soon be
able to release the Rugia's cabin passen-
gers, now ON the New Hampshire.
For some reason not explained, the
Inflated Normannia will be detained in
lower quarantine for some time longer.
The Wyoming and Scandals steerage
passengers will go to Hoffman island to-
morrow. The cabin passengers of La
Bretagne will be tranferred to the city
tomorrow, but the steamer will be de-
tanned awhile. The Moravia and Helig
GLAND may be also released tomorrow.

fireman on the Allen line steamer
Nevada, which arrived here September
14th. was found dead on the deck of the
steamer, near one OF the hatchways this
evening. The man complained of q
bad attack of diarrhea this morning,
and when he was discovered dead, Cap
tain Maine at once notified the health
authorities. DIR. Charles T. Roberts,
chief of the bureau of contagious dis
eases, after making an examination or
dered the steamer thoroughly fumigated,
and also closed the pier. and quaran-
tined those on the ship. The Nevada

Wednesday, having exhibited clean
bill of health.
WYOMING PASSENGERS LANDED.
FIRE ISLAND. Sept. 18-Not the slight
est opposition was offered by the Islip
health authorities or bay men to the
landing of the Wyoming's passengers
today. In fact not one was either to be
seen afoat or ashore. DIR. Voight and
Manager P. T. Wall had the arrange
ments so complete for quietly and
pleasantly unloading the new arrivals,
that within an hour after landing, every
one had possession Of room and dined.
No sickness among the passengers is re-
ported.
TROOPS ORDERED TO FIRE ISLAND.
NEW York, Sept. 18.-Adjutant Gen
eral Porter, at noon today, ordered the
Thirteenth regiment to get under arms
as soon as possible and proceed to Fire
island. Great difficulty was experienced
in drumming up the men, as it was Sum
day, and they were scattered in all di-
rections. At 6:05 p. m. 75 men from
various companies had reported for duty,
and they started for Babylon. 1t is
thought 100 to 200 men will be in readi-
ness to 60 down tomorrow.
HUNGRY IMMIGRANTS AT CAMP Low.
CAMP Low, N. j., Sept. 18.-The un-
fortunate steerage passengers Of the
steamer Normannia and Rugia were
landed here today. No sooner were the
passengers landed than General Hami /.
ton, on hearing they had had
nothing to eat today, ordered dinner
served to them. That the poor
immigrants were hungry, was plainly
| evidenced by the rush they made for
the food. The women and children
were looked after by a corps of women
attendants. Nearly all the passengers
are loud in their denunciation of the
officials of the Hamburg-American line,
on account of the treatment they re.
ceived on the steamers.
