WORST FEARS REALIZED.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10. The steamer
Scandal has anchored at lower
quarantine. There have been thirty
1 two deaths from cholera on board and
i the vessel is full of people suffering
in all stages of the disease The ship
is crowded with passengers, there be-
ing 981 in the steerage. A panic reigns
among the unfortunate people on
board and all are clamoring for relief.
OF the thirty-two deaths twenty were
men in the steerage, two in the second
cabin and one in the first cabin. The
Scandia is at lower quarantine, sur
. rounded by patrol boats and it is i'm
possible to get at her. Seven cases
have been transferred to Swinburne
island.
Before she had been many days out
the cholera had broken out and before
she arrived the pest was fairly raging
on board of her. Thirty-nine cases &C.
CURED in half week. Of these thirty
two succumbed before she arrived at
the lower quarantine. One by one, by
couples and by threes the bodies of
|
overheard.
The Scandal is the first vessel to ar
rive thoroughly infected with cholera.
The Moravia, Rugia and Normannia
. had brought it in their steerages, and
in the case of the latter it had worked
among the crew. The Scandal has
cholera from her bow to her stern,
from her main deck to her keel. Cabin
passengers, crew and immigrants all
have it in their midst, and she will
probably be the hardest cholera i'm
porter to fight of the lot.
THE RECORD AT QUARANTINE.
There were three deaths at quaran-
tine on Friday. This makes in all a
total of eighteen deaths which have
occurred in New York har5or since the
Moravia arrived August rs. During
that time forty-four new cases have de-
veloped.
| GOV. FLOWER ACTS.
WATERFOWL, N. y, Sept. 1o.-Gov.

health officer of New York, to rent a

WILL USE SANDY HOOK.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-At the re-
quest of Secretary of the Treasury Fos-
ter, the war department has consented
to the use of part of the government
reservation at Sandy Hook for quar-
antine purposes. The cooped-up ca bin
passengers on the ocean steamers
lying at anchor at lower quarantine in
New York harbor will accordingly be
removed at once to the government res
ervation at Sandy Hook, and their COM
fort and freedom from pestilence, which
have been an object of much solicitude
to government officials here, will
thus be secured as far as possible.
Target practice will be interfered with
by this arrangement, but this is re-
garded as comparatively small in
convenience in comparison with the
results obtained in greater security to
human life.
WARNED BY THE PRESIDENT.
LOON LAKE, N. Y, Sept. 10. Besides
directing that the government ground
at Sandy Hook be used as camp for
detained passengers, the president has
advised Secretary Foster at New York
to serve notice on all steamship COM
panies that if they persisted in bring
ing emigrants from infected ports it
might result IN their being denied en-
trance to our harbors.
