frlm an .uiectei port.
shortly after 10 o'clock the little tug
boat which does service for DR.. Jenk-
ins' sta1 left the Moravia's side and
steamed for the big TeutOnic. In the
meantime a yellow whitehall boat rowed
0O TWO men left the Morayia's side and
pulled for the beach. When she reached
the little wharf fronting the station,
VIM. Segu,n, an attachc, hurriedly left
her and delivered q sealed envelope 10
DR.. jenkins, who opened IL and betrayed
no indications that there was anything
wrong. When the tug with DR.. Tall
madge aboard came ashore, there was a
conference with the health Olhcer. AT
that time, after leaving DR.. jenkins,
DR.. Tellmadge, who looked very much
perturbed, asserted that there was moth
ing wrOug with the Moravia and that
every one on board was enjoying good
health. lie left the quarantine wharf
and the tugs whistle seemed 10 put an
extra squirt OF steam in the effort 10 get
alongside the plague-Stricken craft.
Apparently acting upon orders from
Or. Tli.madge, which had been given
on his first trip, there were signs OF
activity aboard, and the immigrants, as
If expecting 10 be landed, could be seen
hurrying up and down the deck, look
ing in the direction OF the Staten ISL
and shore and occasionally waving hats
or handkerchiefS.
Within five minutes after the Moravia
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 ISL
ana shore, and passed out OF the mar
rows for the lower bay shortly before
noon.
A phase of the case of the Morayia,
which deserves investigation and which
should be looked into with thorough
ness, Is the action Of the captain of the
N0ravia in continuing the voyage 10
this country under the conditions
which were on his ship. II the disease
broke cut on the day following his de-
p8rture from Hamburg, why did he not
notify those connected with the quar-
anime department, and turn back iu-
stead Of bringing the disease to new
country?
The representatives of the Associated
Press received a message from New York
at quarantine, stating taat it was reported
that DR.. jenkins pronounced the cases
aboard the AlOravi0 ASiatlc cholera.
Dr. jenkins was interviewed, and de-
Clared that he was not prepared at present
20 pronounce an opinion.
The M0ravia is now anchored IN Grave
send Bay, between Fort Hamilton and
M0rJ0u's Point, about two hundred yards
east of the main channel She IS out OF the
way of passing vessels She Will be ln-
definitely detained. The passengers and
crew. even 90 the cabin boy, will be Landed
on Hoffman Island. Every rGg OF clothing
will be disinfected and every person
bathci When the ship is cleaned she will
be dlsinfected, and the passengers then
put aboard and detained there for an in
defui-etime, being obliged TO land on the
island daily for Inspection and baths.
President Wilson, OF the Health Board,
TODAY remarked that he was not surprised
that the cholera had arrived, but that the
city O1ICalS were prepared 10 hgnt IL. The
Island 10 which the patients will be sent
has not vet been made public, although
agreed uDOn oy the Health Board. As 10
the danger OF the infection of the Croton
water He said that the nuisances along the
water shed had been abated as much as
possible. aud the only thing that couid oe
done now was % remove the houses along
the ban KS of the river, but as there were
~. 600 ot them he did not think the scheme
practicable
The board to-day issued a circular TO all
railways, ferries, steamboat offices, FAC
tories, et,.. where a large number OF paO-
ple are, ordering that adjoining waiting
rooms. or IN the factories, there should De
set aside lu air-tigLt room. These will be
tempOrar- places of isolation, should cases
OF cholera suddenly develop. Closets, etc.
are 10 be inspected daily. The Board has
also fitted up dust PROOF room where
hacterOloEiCal exam nations will DE made.
10 is supposed cholera discharges Will DE
cultivated uIuil the presence or absence OF
the germs IS made positive. All discharges
sent bv the inspectors 10 the board Will be
examined in this room.
The saloon passengers Of the steamship
TeutoniC have been discharged from quar-
autiue Transfer boats brought them TO
the city.
There is now 20 doubt that the twenty
two persons who died on the steamship
Mor5via which arrived here Tuesday
NIGHT from Hamburg, died from the dread
ei disease, ASiatic cholera. The health
oficer OF the port Of New York, DR.. Jen-
l,ins. practically made that admission TO-
niqht when be- returned to quarantine al
