HAMBURG-AMERICAN PLAGUE SHIPS.
No such mortality as that which Cap
tain Kopff has been com mpelled 10 report

present reign OF the plague. The Hanl.-
burg American Company has now six
ships under the ban of the health officers,

bic report tonight certainly jus,ifes the
fears of the health officer, and his great
anxiety to provide safe refuge Tor those
who still retain health in the lower bay.
WATCHING PROCEEDINGS IN TERRIBLE
FEAR.
The feeling of those on the ships that
have been detained in the lower quaran
tine tor week this morning, when they
saw the transfer boat going 70 and fro
between Swlnburne island and the Sean
dia may better be imagined than des-
cribed. The moving tug tells story be

may produce no one can tell, tut that
the mortality ON the Scdndia is al! that
has been feared no one will deny. DR.. !

news and give 1t to the few newspaper
men stirring. Others in bed were soon
ln haste to send the tldlngs to
their papers. Several days ago DR.. Jen-
kIns was presented with cabegram by
the agents of The line, stating that
another of their ships, the Bohemia, left
Hamburg Angus. 81 with $40 steerage
passengers, all having been isolated from
five to eight days, and that the steerage |
and baggage were disinfected. In spite
Of this telegram the Bohemia will now be |

safe to say that, as she is an old ship like |
the MoraUia and Scandia, the health Off
GERS will not pass her without the most |
rigid scrutiny and an extended detention
for observation.
THE DOCTORS FEAR THE DANGER
DR.. jenkins was clad only in his dress

The took of care that sbrouded his face
when he added that there was nothing he

This is perfect epidemic, and ap
