NEW YoRK, Sent. l7.--The Norman
MAS cabin passengers have been released
and were brought here on the Cephcus.
Some have already reached the city by
rail.
The dreaded Bohemia which the
health officer has been expecting so long,
came in from Hamburg, having had
eleven deaths on board during the voy-
age with four passengers sick of what is
doubtless cholera
The Bohemia sailed from Hamburg on
Aug. 81, when the cholera there was at
Its height, and there is every reason to
presume that there is cholera on board.
She came in and anchored i'll the infected
feet in the lower bay, near the old line
of battle ship New Hampshire.
The Bohemia was examined by DIR.
Byron, who made a report to DIR. Jen-
kins by wire from Swinburne Island,
stating that eleven persons had died on
the voyage out, and that he had re-
moved four of the sick to Swinburne
Island. He said further:
.'They have on board 633 steerage. ten
cabin passengers and ssventy-seven
crew, all of whom l passed and found
well. Condition of ship first class as re-
CARDS cleanliness.
Soon after leaving port the disease
made itself felt first among The children
on board. Fifteen of them were taken
down with sickness with cholera sylnp-
toms, but most of them recovered, and
it was owing to the cleanliness of The
steamer that the death rate was not
larger"
Asked to Stop immigration.
