New YORK, Sept. Elm some res poets
the news communicated by DR.. Jenkins
on his arrival from the lower quarantine
is more reassuring than since the much
dreaded disease arrived in port. On
board the Moravia no fresh cases have
shown up in the last three days. There
are now only three cases of measles on
board. On the NOrmannia the cabin pas
sengers We're found ~ well, though very
discontinued at the long detention. The
disintected quarters of the stokers We're
inspected, and DR.. Jenkins decided to re-
turn some stokers and remove the deck
hands for distinction.
The doctor is anxious to obtain a vessel
to which he could remove the saloon pas
sengers for absolute security. He is go
ing 10 telegraph the Secretary of the
Navy and ask him to place a ship at his
services.
Three new cases was the report of the
doctor, as the Health officer stepped on
the deck of the Rugia. Jacob Grawer, 81
years Of age, was taken down during the
night, quickly followed by Johannes
JablOniker, % years, and Kathe Seifert,
aged %, all of the steerage. The cabin
passengers were WELL and settled down
to their fate of long quarantine, deter
mined TO make the best of things gen
orally.
On the Moravia no new cases occurred,
and as this was the third day, DIR. Jen-
kins' face was more cheerful, and he ex-
pressed the opinion that the cholera was
stamped out on board.

aged 20; Franz Baumbach Rudolph Euk
and Christian Petersen, all stokers of the
Normannia, who had been taken i'll on
