An Earnest Appeal for Helm from One of
Them-ioreiga cholera News.

aud the same signal IS Hylng on norman
island, indicating the discovery OF addi
tional cholera cases this morning. Up to
evening there has been thirty
one cases of sickness ana disease and eight
deaths in this port.
The stokers on the Normania this morn
ing seem to De the greatest sufferers. Eight
of the crew of that vessel were transferred
yesterday afternoon to Swinburne island.
These men had only a day before been
taken back to the ship after twelve hours
etay on Hoffman island, where they had
been been disinfected with all possible
thoroughness. Along with 500 others they
were taken back to the ship apparently in
excellent health. The doctors will not adj
NIT positively that these eight patients
have cholera, nor will they deny it.
Secretary Foster says DIR. Hamilton and
DR.. Jenkins will inspect Sandy Hook to-
morrow with q view TO selecting a site for
camp of refuge for the cooped-up cabin
passengers of the steamships now detained
at quarantine. Doctors find the ground
satisfactory, the secretary says. Barracks
will be in shape to receive the passengers
by Friday night The Reading railway
will extend it's tracks to the camp to facili-
tate the transportation of supplies. The
secretary says wealthy gentleman has
offered to undertake the construction of q
camp and meet all expenses, taking his
chances Of getting the money back from
the party liable therefor.
DR.. Jenkins does not favor Sandy Hook
as the site of the camp of refuge, but ia
advocating Fire Island as being more
suitable place for isolation.
DIR. Cyrus Edison, sanitary superlntend-
f@1@ ~ g.
DR., Seibert, who is In Berlin: ssBerlin
steams all articles from Hamburg for one
hour. The highest opinion is that all the
rivers In northern Europe are infected and
that new outbreaks can be expected. The
new law will stop all Russian immigration
passing quarantine. Months viii be in
sun Gent to stamp out the disease. The
only efficient method for you in America is
to steam the immigrant baggage or other
articles for at least an hour. They must
be steamed singly or else immigration
must be stopped. Germs are every where;
no port is safe"
The borough board of health has sent
from the Atlantic Highlands protest TO
Governor Abbott against landing passen
gers of infected ships at Sandy Hook. The
borough has provided q day and night
watch and g land patrol service to that end.
The new cases on the NOrmandia are
Franz Albrecht, Adolpn Meier, Gottlieb
DamlshoD, Gustav Nouman. d. Deudlle.
Carl Gramish, all among the crew.
On the Rugia the new case are Gustav
Wellschopper, Johann Hodratskia, Felonia
Kunenscain. Eight persons who were ex-
posed To the patients Of the sams families
were removed to .>Swinburne island and
isolated from observation, but tho new
case on Hoffman island, Carl Blunnig, q
sreerage passenger, was removed to Swim
sCIo II 10 mo of n 10
passengers.
The Swinburne island deaths are Elfrida
Yeultz, Henry Frankel. Jacob Koosler,
Christian House.
Jenkins stated that Sandy Hook will be
used for placing Immigrants on. He
thought the old unused sheds of the Cen
tral railroad of New Jersey would be
used, which could accommodate five
hundred, and the same number of tents
could be used. DR.. Jenkins said he ex-
pected Stonington down tomorrow evening
or early on the day after, when the cabin
passengers would be removed. The New
Hampshire as soon as she was ready would
DO used for the cabin passengers OF the
Rugia. The steerage passengers would be
removed to Hoffman Island.
Cholera on board the Moravia has been
to all appearances stamped out. The City of
New York and Labourgone have left for
New York.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Secretary and wife
and a daughter of General Foster were
taken off the City Of New York on the
cutter Grant.
The steamer Elbe left quarantine at
o. clock this afternoon. The Belgium
steamer Waesland, Captain Grant, from
Antwerp, which has been in the quaran-
tine fleet in the upper bay, was released
this evening by order of the health author
tiles and proceeded to the dock.
1t is reported at the maritime exchange
that cholera has appeared in Mexico. A
cablegram from Vera Cruz was received
stating that four officers and two sailors of
the British steamship May at that port are
sick aboard the vessel.
Sanitary Superintendent DIR. Cyrus
Enson received the following cable from
Hamburg from Dr.. Sebert, who is study
ing the cholera:

cholera are defective. The situation is
