NEW YoRK, Sept. 10.--The apparent
unanimity and cooperation between the
state and federal authorities, which ex-
listed Friday, has been broken off, and
in the face OF dreaded epidemic there
is clash of authority and sudden ces-
sation of friendliness between DIR. Jenk
ins and Secretary Foster. Secretary
Foster said tonight that DR.. Jenkins
visited Sandy Hook in company with
himself, DR.. Hamilton, DR.. Bach
and other officials, and agreed
that it was admirably fitted
for the purpose of quarantine camp.
He had now, however, changed front
and evinced a sudden hostility to all
that the government offered. Secretary
Foster says DR.. Jenkins refused the
medical assistance the marine service
rendered him, and refuses any federal
aid. saying he is amply able to cope
with the emergency, without any as
distance from the general government
In the meantime the government is 60
ing ahead with the work at Sandy
Hook.
AT LOWER QUARANTINE.
At present the situation at Lower
Quarantine is as follows:
Scandia-T -Thirtv-four dead, (two since
arrivaI) eleven sick and twelve suspects.
Moravia-No cases for five days, and
cholera practically stamped out. All the
passengers on board.
Rugia-No cases and all the passen-
gers on board.
Normannia--No passengers on board
and no cases at present.
The Etonington-The cabin passengers
OF the Normannia on board. all in good
health.
At Hoffman ieland-The steerage pas
eengers of the Normannia in good health.
AtSwinburne island-Twenty- five sick
persons and sixty-three suspects.
On Monday, it is expected, the cabin
passengers of the Normannia will be
transferred from the Stonington to Fire
island. The cabin passengers of the
Rugia will be put on board the New
Hampshire. The steerage i'm migrants
OF the Normannia will be taken from
Hoffman island to Sandy Hook. and the
Rugia's steerage passengers will take
their place.
In addition to the deaths already re-
ported on board the Scandia, two oc-
Cured today; eleven are reported sick,
and two as suspects.
VESSELS RELEASED.
After a thorough course of fumigation
and disinfection, and after every person
on board was put in such condition that
it was practically impossible for them to
convey contagion to the city, three
steamers were released from quarantine
this afternoon. They were the Britain
mic, from Liverpool the Joseph John,
from Hamburg, and the Zaandam. from
Antwerp.
The immigration agents of this city.
whose business it is to forward new ar
rivals at this port to their various desti-
nations, are much disturbed over the
announcement made by the Illinois
board of health, refusing admission to
all immigrants into the state unless
they bear certificates from the health
and immigration officials of New York,
that they are free from disease, and
that their baggage and belongings have
been thoroughly disinfected.
GoTHAM's GOOD HEALTH.
The board of health Issued the follow
ing bulletin this afternoon: "There are
no cases of cholera in the city today.
The number of deaths for the week end
ing at noon today. was 731, against 747
in the corresponding week of last year.
The deaths from diarrhmal diseases
numbered 90, which is less than in any
corresponding week since 1870, although
the population of the city has nearly
doubled since. There were no deaths
during the week from typhus or small
pox. The health of the city is unusu-
ally good in every particular"
The steamships which left for Europe
today all sailed with very small lists of
cabin and steerage passengers.
1t has been ascertained that since
Monday two secret representatives of
the Canadian government have become
fully informed as to what is being done
here to prevent cholera from en-
tering the city. Upon the re-
ports of these secret agents.
it is said, depends the question whether
the Canadian government will establish
complete and rigid quarantine by
water and rail against New York.
The steamship OLDHAM, now at upper
quarantine, has ON board perhaps the
largest exhibit which will be sent from
abroad to the Chicago fair. The ship
ment in question consists of German
village of $500 pieces, and will be erected
on the fair grounds.
