At tho present time there are three
cases OF measles and two women arc re-
covering from slight attacks of the dis
case. The entire steerage comes from
the infected district and tonight DIR.
jenkins is exceedingly anxious and
worried over the outlook.
INEXCrsABLE REcHLEssNEss.
Tho Moravia arrived last night at 10
o'clock and strange to say, notwith-
standing her terrible record Of deaths
for the voyage, her captain passed
through Sandy Hook up the lower bay
and through tho fleet OF steamships
which were anchored of the boarding
station. Sho did not stop there, but
moved up several hundred feet north
Of the fleet, within about eight miles OF
the battery, and there dropped her an
chor.
No word was sent ashore all night,
nor did any OF the quarantine officers
board her 1t was early this morning
when they started on their usual round
to board tho vessel anchored in the
stream. The Morava was tho last one
which physicians Tallmadge and San
born drew up alongside, 1t was then
after 10 o'clock, and it was known that
the Moravia was from an infected port.
Shortly after II o'clock the little tug
boat which does service for DR.. Jen-
kins's staff left the Moravia's side and
steamed for the big Teutonic. In the
meantime q yellow whitehall boat,
rowed by two men, left the Morayia's
side and pulled for the beach. When
she reached the little wharf fronting
the station, William Scguin, an attache,
hurriedly left her and delivered U scaled
envelope 10 DIR. jenkins, who opened it
and betrayed no indications that there
was anything wrong. When the tug,
with DR.. Tallmadge aboard, came ashore
there was conference with the health
officer. At that time, after leaving DR..
Jenkins, DR.. Tallmadge, who looked
very much perturbed, asserted that
there was nothing wrong with tho Mo-
ravia and that every one on board was
enioyinggood health. lie left the quar-
antine wharf and the tugs whistle
seemed to putan extra spurt OF steam
in the effort to get alongside the plague
stricken craft.
OFF FOR QUARANTINE.
Apparently acting upon orders from
DR.. TaIlmadge, which had been given
on his first trip, there were signs OF ac-
tiyity aboard and the immigrants, as If
expecting to be landed, could be seen
hurrying up and down the deck, look
ing in the direction OF the Staten Island
shore and occasionally waving hats or
handkerchIefs.
Within five minutes afterthe Morayia
was boarded for the second time she
had hoisted her anchor, got up steam
and turned her bow in the direction of
the ocean. She made long detour
around the fleet, hugging the Long
Island shore and passing out OF the mar
rows for the lower bay shortly before
noon.
A phase of the case of the Moravia
which deserves investigation and which
SHOulh w IOOheu lHto WIN tiloAOuSA-
ness is the action Of the captain OF the
Moravia in continuing the voyage to
this country under the conditions which
were on his ship. II the disease broke
out on the day following his departure
from Hamburg why did he not notify
those connected with the quarantine
department and turn back instead OF
bringing the disease to a new country?
The representatives OF the Associated
Press received a message from New
York at quarantine stating that it was
reported that DR.. jenkins pronounced
the cases aboard the Moravia Asiatic
cholera.
DR.. jenkins was interviewed and de-
clared that he was not prepared at pres
ent to pronounce an opinion.
STRICT MEASURES.
The Moravia is now anchored in
Gravesend bay between Fort Hamilton
and Morton's Point, about 200 yards
east Of the main channel. She is out
OF the way OF passing vessels. She
will be indefinitely detained, The pas
sengers and crew, even TO the cabin
boy, will be landed on Hoffman Island.
Every rag of clothing will be disin-
fected and every person bathed. When
the ship is cleaned she will be disin-
fected and the passengers put aboard
and detained there for an indefinite
time, being obliged to land on the
island daily for inspection and baths.
