DIR. JENKINS ana told MIN tnat he could
raise IS, 1000 on board in an instant if per-
mission would be given to charter a boat
and remove the cabin passengers to her,
where she could be anchored north of the
pest grounds until they could be re-
leased. Every one of them believe that
the Normannia is an infected vessel.
DIR. Jenkins could not say that this
would be done, but promised to earnestly
consider the proposition. DIR. Jenkins
early in the day saw the advisability of
establishing u permanent headquarters
in the lower bay, and accordingly or
dered the hospital ship Charleston to be
towed into the horseshoe, which is the
strip of water directly north of Sandy
Hook. The Hamburg COM
pany was advised of the step taken in
regard to its vessels, and tug was sent
to Hoffman's Island loaded with pro-
visions.
DIR. Jenkins visits to the Rugia and
Moravia were short. He also visited the
hospital islands, and in the afternoon
several officials of the New York city
health department steamed down the
bay on tug TO see him. The police pa
troll reported early for the duty and
warned all passing vessels to keep safe
distance. Masters of vessels of all de-
scriptions began to realize the gravity of
the situation and give the pest ships Il
wide berth.
The foregoing facts show that the,out-
look is dark, and all hands are preparing
for long siege. As to the probabilities
OF the disease getting into the country,
there need be no alarm if the present
precautions are carried ont. An evil
dence of the proper attitude at this time
was the hearty cheers of the Laburgoyne
passengers during the examination when
told of the precautions necessary. They
all were ready to wait till it was deemed
proper for them to be released.
Fewer Deaths in Hamburg.
HAMBURG, Sept. 5.-Ycstcrlay s. was a
cool autunnal day The fresh cases of
cholera discovered number $50; the
deaths number EN- Compared with
yesterday the decrease of the number of
c1ses is seventy-eight; of the number of
deaths, thirty-six. Tho number of in
tenuents yesterday We're 373, or thirty
six more than Saturday. This increase
is due partly to the sudden lengthening
of the death list yesterday and partly to
the extraordinary efforts of the authori-
ties to get under ground the bodies
which have been collecting steadily at
the hospitals. About POO bodies were
still unburied at o'clock last evening.
BERLIN, Sept. 5.-n POsen today there
have been forty-one fresh cases of chol-
ora and twenty-four deaths. Bishop
