DR.. Jenkins said last night that there had
been no new cases of cholera on the Moravia
for several days and he is confident that the
disease has been stamped out aboard this ship.
a, PASSENGERS TO GO TO SANDY HOOK.
It has been learned that portion of Sandy
Hook at least will be devoted TO the use Of well
passengers from cholera-infected ships and
that they will undergo their period of observa-
ton there. 1t is understood ,hat the President
favors such plan and has so informed the
proper authorities at Washingto
The British steamer Joseph John. which left
Hamburg August 20, passed Sandy Hook for
New York at $40 O'Clock this morning This
vessel registers but 1857 tons and is of the
''tramp" species of steamship. but is quite
likely to have a number Of emigiants aboard
WORKING on THE NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The United States training ship New Hamp-
shire, which has been given TO the quarantine
department for the of the cabin passengers
of the infected ships was towed from the navy
yard this morning TO the dock of the Hamburg
American Packet Company at Hoboken. and is
being reftted and put in condition for the use
TO which she Is 10 be put. Norkmen were in
readiness TO go on board of her as soon as she
was tied up to the pier. She viii probably be
towed down the bay some time today.
NO CHOLERA IN NEW YORK.
OF course there have been and will be rumors
started that cases Of cholera have been discov-
cred in this city bu. the health board is pledged
to announce to the public the first case of genu-
inc Asiatfc cholera which is discovered here and
In its daily bulletins now issued each morning and
evening the board denies that case of genu-
inc cholera has been discovered here. In addi-
ton, much fuss has been made of the case Of
| a man named Chas. McElroy, who died early in
| the week, the board has made public its report
of the autopsy, which has tended to calm down
the sensational rumors.
This report reads: 'The anatomical LESSONS
and the microscopica! appearance Of the intes-
final contents found in the body Of Chas Nc
Elroy, thirty-fiye years Of age, of s79 10th ave-
nue., referred to us for investigation, are
those found in so-called cholera nostras or spo-
| radio cholera and are not at all suggestive Of
cholera Asiatica."
1t is asserted by the city officials that New
York was never in q healthier condition than II
is at present and everything possible Is being
done to make it healthier still. The presence
of cholera in the harbor and the precautions
being taken to keep the disease from landing
here have brought many propositions tending
in this direction to the front. The latest from
one standpoint is that as the National Guard
was called out to do police duty
during the Buffalo riots, that the
trouble now being on the water, the maritime
branch of the National Guard (namely, the
naval reserve, or naval reserve artillery, to give
tne corps Tvs r1gnt nAme) enOulu De pfOmpuy
called out to do boat-work patrol duty about
the quarantined ships and in other ways lend
their assistance to combating the plague.
When il is taken into consideration that the
naval reserve is composed Of some Of the
choicest flowers Of banking, brokering, medi-
cal, business and legal circles in this city the
task before them Of broiling in the sun along
side cholera ships for an indefinite period the
full significance Of the proposition viii be
readily understood. However, one thing Is
certain, It they are called upon to face the COM
mon enemy, be il pestilence or armed mon,
tkey will respond 10 the call to the fDont, -
gallant young American gentlemen from al
parts Of the country would, with enthusiasm
and courage.
