HxcITED OVER THE NEWS.

There is the greatest excitement in the
etnsion tonight over the report of the five
deaths from cholera which have taken
plsce in New York. DR.. jenkins expressed
himself con fident that it did not pass quar-
antine He said the best authorities In the
word held that stringent and @ mplete
quarantine could only claim to prevent 20
per cent. of the possibilities of the intro
duction of cholera into place. The other
81 per cent. of possibilities Of cholera in
vading seaport was open to other means
over which quarantine had no control. He
ia d it was quite possible for a person on
visiting cholera patient or hospital to
transmit g germ from the first TO third
party without feeling sDy of the effects
himself. He saw no reason why the cholera
should not be effectuslly stamped out in
New York. The fact that cholera had sue
ceeded in presenting itself in the city,
would not, the doctor said, interfere with
restriction now prevailing at Quarantine.
DIR. jenkins received the foliowln telegram
from DR.. Byron, giving the census for the
day:
Admitted from Scandal, one: admitted from
Hoffman island August Land, Y years. from
steamship Normannia, died Sept. IA, OF sen
ility; SICK convalescents and suspects, forty
four; transferred to conyalescing ward, five.
The steamers Belgenlano. Maasdam and
Diadem were released at II % q. N.
DR.. jenkins arose this morning much re-
freshed after the first decent nights rest,
undistur0ed by worry or being awakened
by midnight callers. Things are very quiet
here after the last few days excitement.
The news he gives ont today ought to
cheer the Normania's cabin passengers.
He said he would most certainly release
them tomorrow. AS regards the cabin
passengers Of the Rugis. he would if
nothing developed, transfer them to the
New Hampshire, thence land them on Fire
island as soon as Recommendations
can be arranged. The husband OF
one OF the saloon passengers on board
the Rueia just stated that his wife
in letter 10 MN states that the cabin pas
seugers OF that steamer do not wish to be
taken out of the Rugig. They have entered
protest against being removed. They are
afraid of going through the same expert
ences as those of the Normania. He says
they are not all afraid OF stopping on the
Rlgis No arrangements have yet been
made for the twenty cabin passengers of
the Scandal, but Health Officsr Jenkins
says be is considering the feasibility OF
putting them on board the Cepheus and an
choring her in the lower bay.
No cabin passengers will be landed on
Ssudy Hook. DR.. jenkins said he was
highly grasifiad with the progress of the
suffering cholera patients and the apparent
ease. He IS not prepared to say there is
still no cause for alarm, as he is not omni-
potent, although he tried 20 be omnipres-
ent.
NRw ARRIVALS.
Steamer Majestic, with 507 cabin passen-
gers, has arrived. All well on board. She
will probably be detained till morning. The
tank steamer Heligolsnd, Captain Donk-
lage, which arrived last night from Altoona
OF -Clite, little below Hamburg, and now
anchored in the lover bay, had two deaths
on board among her crew from cholera.
Evsryihing Uuiet at Fire Island
FIRE IsL2ND, New York. Sept. 1.-THE
quarantine lines OF the hotel were guarded
by twelve detectives from New York last
night to prevent escapes. This morning
Or. Voight reported that the health Of the
passengers s. rs excellent. there being only
lew incidental troubles among the wo-
rnen ana children. While there is SONS
grrm bling, the majority Of the passengers
express satisfaction with their sccoumoda-
lions.
All opposition on the part OF the baymen
has disappeared. Or. Jenkins has tela-
graphed that he will PROBABLY release the
Normanuia's passengers tomorrow.
The Thirteenth regiment will remain st
Babylon to prevent any interference with
the landing of passengers.
