in all probability. Not since the en-
forcement of the present quarantine
regulations have so many vessels been
collected at the quarantine station as
to-day. There were % vessels there
this morning from all parts OF the
world. The F'ulda which arrived Sun
day was released at 5:45 this morning
and came up to her dock. The Mas
sachusctts, from London with freight:
was released at $50. In the City of
New York's steerage are no immigrants
from the continent. They are ali from
Great Britain and it is not thought
that there is any cholera aboard.
Among the passengers on the City Of
New York is Chauncey vi. Depew.
Surgeon General Hamilton paid 4
visit to DR.. Jenkins this morning. In a
talk with the Associated Press reporter
he said ne thought the cholera could be
successfully kept from getting into New
York. He thought that it was most
distressing the way the cabin pass n
gers of the Normanuia and Rugia were
being kept on board the plague-stricken
ships. They ought, he said, to be taken
out at once and removed to Il place Of
safety. The board ofhealth this morn
ing issued the usual bulletin of no cases
of cholera in this city.
New YORK, Sept. The main
question outside of actual combat with
the grim enemy seems to be the dispo-
sition to be made of the Normannia's
saloon passengers. They have petit
toned the people of New York TO take
some action which will deliver them
from their floating prison, and it is pos
sible that tho health authorities will,
to-day, decide upon their fate. Many
Of the crew have already been removed
with the steeragc passengers to Holt
man Island, but quite q number remain
behind in order to work the ship and
wait on the passengers. 1t is possible
that the cholera germs are still lurking
in the ships bilge water and in parts
of her hull The passengers are all
very well and enjoying themselves as
much as possible under the circum-
stances; in fact there was Il rousing
hop on board the steamer last night
and the sound of merry music was
waited across the bay to the silent
watchers who patrol the waters in
which the pest ships are anchored.
The death of the eight-year-old pas
senger from the Rugia, Gertrude Sham,
which DR.. Jenkins reported last night,
was not surprise to him. The child
was in the hospital on Swinburne
Island.
There were no fresh deaths or out
breaks on either steamer to-day thus
far reported ct quarantine. Yester-
days new victims, the four sailors from
the Normannia who were stricken, are
now in the hospital on Swinburne Isl
and, but are not expected to recover.
