OF the SnlpS dlre0py there.
The Rueia, the other pest ship Of the
Hamburg-American Packet Company,
which arrived in port to-day with
cholera, left Hamburg on August 21.
She had 9S cabin and 436 steerage pas
sengers on board. She touched at
Southampton on her way over. The
first death occurred a week after leav-
inR port. Carl Koenig, so years OF age.
and Bertha kOenig, Of the same age,
were taken ill about the same time.
They both died on August 2S.
The symptoms OF their illness were
alike and were such that the ship sur
geou Immediately pronounced the dis
ease 70 DO choierlne. Capt Leithauser,
the commander Of the Rugia, and the
surgeon did everything 10 prevent the
spread of the disease, out the ignorance
anu recklessness of the steerage pas
sengers made their efforts Of no avail.
OJher cases of Illness Of similar kind
soon appeared and seven more paSsen-
gers were taken down with the disease.
Lin PogaS6i, q years old; Paul
EQenig, years old; Johanna Bust,
AGED 81; AuriOn Peters, aged G2, and
Kosm.o Dspai0, an Italian "a years OF
age, were still in the hospital when the
Rugia was sighted OF Fire Island. Two
more deaths beside those mentioned
above, occurred during the voyage. II
was 1915 o'clock when DR.. jenkins ad-
mitted the reporters. DO said:
"Geutlemeu, according to my reports
there were nine cases OF chOlerine on
the Rugia. There are five GONZALES
Z a 10 fhr IL
MIA there were five deaths and there are
four cOnvalescents. On the Moravla
there is one additional case OF choler-
ine It is an 8-year-Old boy"
DR.. Jenkins has issued the strictest
kind of orders, and under no cireum-
stances will be allow any one to ap-
proach the vessels quaranJined. Fur
taer cases are anticipated on the Mora
via also, although the two Couvalescents
were reported doing well this morning.
I The patients on board the NOrmannia,
Ru1ia and MOrayia would, il was said,
probably be transferred 10 Swinburne
[ Island to-day. Although the diagnosis
I Ina each case was chOlorine, DR.. jenkins
did not doubt that the scOurge was
cholera.
lie saws he continues hopeful Of keep
I ing the disease In the lower bay. How
ever the worst may be expected, as In
1857 there were over fifty deaths on the
I hospital islands and very few actual
cases when the storage was transfer
red. Even o worse state of affairs is
Anticipated on the TWO additional yes
sells expected from Hamburg within the
next week.
They left later than to-day's arrivals
ana when tire disease had made greater
ravages in Hamburg. Almost all OF the
dead and sick on the Rugia and Nor
MAMMA hail from Hamburg or nearby
ports. A few were residents Of this
country. The quarantine officers are
In state Of nervous exciment. Ii must
not be understood that they are fright
ened, but they were hoping for the best
aud the NOrmannia was expected TO get
by safely. When the saloon passengers
on this vessel will get Off is question
DIR. jenkins has not yet decided.
Tomorrow DR.. jenkins wrOposes TO
establish q quarantine patrol In the
lower bay and keep passing vessels and
newspaper tugs 1900 feet from the
Rugia aud NOrmanDia.
A fisherman attempted to land on
South Beach this morning but the pO-
lice would not let him. lie came to Dr.
jenkins for permission to land his boat
DR.. jenkins told him that he ana all his
craft would have 20 stop working and
fishing in the bay hereafter, aud will
issue au order to that effect. This viii
throw q good many men cut OF the
means Of making living.
Among the passengers on the Nor
MAMMA were LOttie Collins, a. NJ. Pal
,uer. wife and daughter, E. l.. Godkin
and wife. the Hon. A. Wellington wal
lace. Prof. Xavier Scharwenka, and Mr..
and Mrs. c. y. Van RenuaeSlar. Digoy
Bell. Josephine, Knapp and Laura joyce
Bell, were also on board.
When asked how long the cabih pas
sengers would be detained at Quaran-
Tine the clerks i'm the company's office
promptly answered that they would not
be detained more than five days, PROB
ably not so long. They aid not say on
what information they based their state
mcnt.
Manager COrtis, when asked why his
lire persisted in bringing Immigrants
from Hamburg after stating that ms
company would ship no more OF these
neonIe from the infected port, he SAID:
s.T6s SteeraCe passengers were booked
and were ia Hamburg awaiting trans
rorratiop. We had 10 take them. Inc
railroads would not carry them out OF
Hamburg and what else could we doF
..The bohemia which sailed Thurs
dqv WIN be the last vessel TO bring over
Immigrants while the plague lasts. Her
steerare passengers have been In quar-
aptire for from 10 5 days. There was
no sickness among them and their Dag
GAGE and everything else was thorough
Nv fumigated before they sailed.
