IBy Telegraph to the Evening Journall
QUARANTINE, Sept 3.-sunrise at the
Narrows was chilly with a slow rising
fog. Conditions as to numbers of tho
fleet in quarantine grounds had changed |
greatly from last night by the addition
of three anxiously -looked-for arrivals |
from Hamburg; viz: Rugia, Stubenhuk |
and the express steamer Normannia
AS natural result the air was filed
with reports of cholera cases ON one OF
all the vessels, but all stories were
speculative, as none Of the ships had
been inspected.
Determined that none Of the suspected
ships should get within close range, Dr.
Jenkins went ahoat at midnight and as
a result, the three ships named were
ordered to the lower bay to await his
further pleasure. This gave rise to
the reports Of sickness but it
is fact that no one boarded either of
the trio except the health officer or his
deputy, DR.. Talmadge, and they have
done nothing as yet in the way of in
spectng the work to be done on the
Anchor liner, City of Rome, and the Gun
arder, Umbria, the latter having anchor
ed in quarantine at g. 10 this morning.
The vessels below being from infected
ports will be handled after this work is
finished
In addition to the City of Rome and the
Umbria, the freight ships Mohican and
Federation are the only vessels at the
upper station and they await the ordi
nary inspection and will go up today.
Patrolling for Intruders
Health Officer jenkins and Deputy
Tallmadge left the quarantine dock at
midnight and did not return until early
this morning. They had been patrolling
the lower bay in search Of intruders.
The passengers of the City Of Rome are
all well. The Hamburg steamer Stub
benhuk, with 240 steerage passengers on
board, arrived at quarantine and was i'm
mediately ordered back to the lower bay.
No report was given out as to the health
of those on board.
DR. Talmadge, who never sleeps W hen
duty calls, Immediately put off to clear
away the arrivals Of the night The
passengers of the City of Berlin were
bathed on board yesterday afternoon and,
after disinfection this morning, the
steamer was discharged.
The Rome's passengers are undergoing
examination. The cabin passengers will
make their declaration and will be landed
today.
