NEW YORI<, sept0.--rhe Hamburg
American steamship "Wielaudv
reached tho lower bay this morning
aud anchored and hoisted the yellow
flag, indicating that she had sicknesr,
probably cholera, aboard. "Wieland,"
like "Rugia," carries both cabin and
stecrage passengers. and, no doubt, has
her full complement ~ the latter.
The yellow dag has also been hoistad
on board the "Normania," where 10
many saloon passengers are detained
In spite Of the fact that the scourgo
seems 10 be attacking the steamship's
crew and steorage passengers alone.
Though the news or another cbolern
ship In port increases the gravity OF
the situation ut quarantine, thers " no
alarm felt In official circles and the
health authorities arc still confident OF
being able to keep the dread invader
from landing.
DIR. jenkins said last night there
had been no now cascs aboard the
"Nioraviav for several days and he
was confident the disease had been
stamped out aboard that vessel.
The British steamer "Jcseph john"
which left Hamburg August 90, passed

number Of ,migrants aboard. A dis.
patch lust received says the yellow
flag IA also dying from the pole on the
"Island."

NEW YoRIS, Sept. 9.-An appeal il
today addressed to Governor Flower,
signed by a COMMITTEES OF psssen-
gers OF the first and second class
on the steamer "Normania," pro-
testing against being kept prison
ers abrond that cholera infected
ship. The petition IL signed by
committee c0nsiyting entirely OF ply
sicians and among other charges
against DIR. jenkins, II the allegation
that the health officers only visited the
vessel every two or three days, and
made no Systematic aud regular in-
spection, aud that the dead bodies
remain on the vessel n dangerously
long time before removal by the health
authorities.
