NEW YORK, Sept. IA number Of
steamers arrived in the early morning
hours and dropped anchor in the lower
bay TO await the arrival of the health Of
ficers after sunrise. Among them were
the La Champagne from Havre, and the
Cherbourg and Aurania from Liverpool.
Both showed clean bills of health, and
after being inspected were allowed to
drop anchor off the quarantine station.
The other arrivals were the British
steamer Martello from Hull, and the
Clintonia from Shields.
The steamers will be closely inspected,
and if it is found that cholera has made
its appearance on board any of them they
will be treated in each instance in man
ner similar to that adopted in the case of
the infected vessels which are at present
undergoing quarantine.
The steamer OLDHAM was released from
quarantine this morning.
DR.. Jenkins. in addition to his regular
rounds, took passage in the Cepheus and
proceeded to the Normannia to superin-
tend the transfer of her passengers to
Fire Island. He sent the following tele-
of his movements:
"Have possession of Fire Island and
have transferred the first and second
cabin passengers of the NormanGia.
VIII be pleased to hear and act upon any
suggestions you may make to have mat
ters in control and believe they will be
successful in keeping out the disease. We
have been successful in stopping it on
the Moravia and checking it on the Ru-
gia and Normannia. The Scandal is be-
ing disinfected and new cases are re-
moved as fast as they develop.
Il have a competent staff, and will en-
pioy physicians as the emergency de-
mands. Have accepted all assistance
offered, both from local and national
authorities. The Wyoming is not def
nitely infected with cholera, but we will
hold her until we are perfectly satisfied
OF her condition. At Fire Island have
placed a competent hotel man in charge
of the Surf Hotel and competent
physician to inspect and look after the
passengers. l have also appointed thirty
five special police TO patrol Fire Island
a committee from the Chamber of Com
merce waited upon me this afternoon
with consulting board of physicians APP
pointed by them, and said Camp Low, at
Sandy Hook spit, will be protfered me as
soon as complete for the reception of well
people. | shall also request and act upon
any suggestion by the medical consult
ing committee appointed by the Chamber
OF Commerce."
The number Of new cases and deaths is
not large, the Scandal being the only one
20 present further Developments Marie
JanowitZ, aged two and half years; An
ME Olsen, aged eight, and Make Merske
aged thirteen years, were taken i'll to-day
and removed to Swinburne Island. Only
one death occurred, that of Theodore OIL
sen, a three-year-old child who was
taken i'll at o'clock this morning, and
died at night. There was another death
on board the Sandia, but it was not from
cholera
The old frigate New Hampshire left
her dock at Hoboken to-day and, in tow
OF two tugs, proceeded on her way to the
lower quarantine to take aboard the
Rugla'S hrSt-cabin passengers and the
Normannia's second-cabin passengers.
The Stonington, which was rendered by
j. Pierrepont Morgan, was carefully ex-
amined to-day by the health officers and
others and found to be unseaworthy.
The Cepheus, of the Iron Steamboat
Company, was chartered to remove the
passengers from the Stonington TO Fire
Island.
DIR. Jenkins returned late in the even
ing from down the bay and calling the
reporters together after the reports of the
cases were given out, reported that on
Saturday night a disturbance occurred
among a lot of Armenians, Turks and
Hebrews among the detained passengers
OH Hoffman Island. A native of Jerusa-
lem was stabbed in the left arm, but the
injuries were trivial. He stated that the
new quarantine station at Sandy Hook
will be used as place for the detention
of steerage passengers and the New
Hampshire will be used for the Scandal
hrst-cabin passengers.
1t had been decided to hold the steam
ers Wyoming and Moravia for at least ten
days after all trace of sickness on board
had been lost. DIR. Byron reported that
outside of the new cases of sickness all
patients at Swinbnrne Island were doing
Well, and DR.. Hynde. surgeon of the
wyoming, who had been received at the
island three days ago, returned to the ship
perfectly recovered from his slight ILL
ness.
DR.. Jenkins having received word that
opposition was being threatened by the
residents of Babylon to the landing of
detained passengers at Fire Island, he
telegraphed Governor Flower, request
ing him to notify DIR. Balch to proceed
with the landing under direction OF the
executive.
Later in the evening the Governor re-
piled that the landing be done, regard
less OF the people of Babylon, and notify
ing DIR. jenkins that he would be at the
Windsor Hotel tomorrow morning.
DR.. Jenkins received word that the mas
seugers on the Cepheus were forcibly
prevented from landing at Fire Island by
a force of loo armed deputies from Bahy
lon, l.. |. He wired for particulars.
The Cepheus returned to Sandy Hook
and DR.. Jenkins at once dispatched his
secretary down the bay with Instructions
to look after the passengers and see that
they were made as comfortable as the cir
cumstance will admit of on the iron
steamboat, where they will have TO re-
main all night.
The steamer Stubbenhul landed her
steerage passengers to-day at Ellis Island,
and the ship was thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected.
The following is the latest dispatch of
the night received by DR.. Jenkins from
Swineburne Island
$3.50 P. M.-Have just been round the
ships; everything is O. X"
No news is likely to be received here
tonight regarding the Cepheus passen-
gers The news from Sandy Hook says
she is IN the vicinity OF Stonington, at
the lower quarantine. Whether Dr.
>annurn, who is in charge OF them, will
return them 10 Stonington or put them
on BOARD the Nornlannia again, no one
knows. They cannot remain on board
the Cepheus with any safety, as. although
she has some provisions on board, she
has not anything like the accommoda-
ton necessary for SO large a number of
passengers removed from the steamer.
IIhe wind is blowing fresh, and it would
be very difficult, if not an impossible,
