The bohemia Arrives.

NEW York, Sept 17.-Another plague
ship in the port and another story of dis
ease and death on the voyage. Eleven
more victims added to the long list Of
those who have died of cholera between
Hamburg and New York.
This is the story of the steamship Bo-
hernia, which reached New York Thurs
day night and anchored in the lower
quarantine.
Her coming had been dreaded as much
as the coming Of her sister ship and sis
ter death house--the Scandal. She left
Hamburg at the time when the pest was
at Its worst, and her 8S1 Storage passen-
gers gathered from the infected regions
of Germany and Russia were confident
ly expected to bring the cholera with
them.
The Bohemia sailed from Hamburg
on Sept. 8 and was due Thursday morn
ing. On Wednesday morning, 800
miles east of Sandy Hook, she was
passed by the Trave, which arrived here
Thursday.
Notwithstanding the anxiety with
which the health officers waited for her
coming, she was not reported from Fire
Island, which she passed at o'clock in
the afternoon, nor from Sandy Hook,
which she reached at o'clock. Half
an hour later she was added to the chol-
era fleet which rides in the lower bay.
Would Not Talk Much.
Captain Schroeder was unwilling to
say much about the deaths on board I'M
til he had made his report to the health
officers, but he admitted the essential
facts of the misfortune that had befallen
the company.
"We have had eleven deaths on
board" said the captain. They We're
all of little children. There is no sick
ness on board at present"
"Of what did the childred dieP" asked
the reporter.
"a diarrhoea disease"
"Was it cholera9'
IL can't tell Tho last death was five
days ago. Nobody has been i'll on board
since then"
"How long after you left port did the
first death occur"
about the fourth day. The chill
dren We're all very young. The Oldest
was between four and five years. They
were oil III the steerage. No adult
passengers have died or even been sick. "
Captain Schroeder said he was unable
to give tho names of the children, but
they would appear in his report when
the ships surgeon would make known
all the particulars of the cases.
The Bohemia is of the unlucky Ham
burg-Amcrican line. She has been many
years In the service, and since the ap-
pearance of the fast express steamers
she has boon devoted almost entirely to
the Immigrant business. She brought
but ten cabin passengers.
DR.. Byron visited the Bohemia. He
reports that there We're eleven deaths,
and that four cases were removed to
Swinburno Island Friday morning. He
reports that those who died on board
the vessel died of gastro-intestinal
trouble.
The names of those who were removed
TO Swiuburne Island are: Max Fem
gold, aged six years; e. Chage Bats
twenty-eight years; Leo Hanfeldt
twenty-six years, and one small child OF
the Storage.
The Bohemia has on 653 steerage, ter
cabin and seventy-seven crew, all passed
and found we'll. The ships condition
MS TO cleanliness is first-class.
When DIR. jenkins came from his pr
vate Office with the telegraph report o
DR.. Byrons visit the TO Bohemia, he said
81 am mighty glad that this. is the las
of the ships we expect serious trouble
from"
