SHOULD BE TAKEN FROM THE NoRMANNIA.
Ex-Surgeon General Hamilton paid visit to
Dr. jenkins this forenoon. In talk with the
Associated Press reporter he said that he
thought the cholera could be successfully kept
from getting into New York. He thought that
| 1t was most distressing the way the cabin
passengers of the Normannia and Rugia were
being kept on board the plague-stricken ship.
They ought. he said, to be taken out at once
| and removed to place Of safety. If a vessel
could not be got to put them on board of they
| Should be removed to Sandy Hook, where
| quarters would be put up very quickly for
them. The government held miles of land on
| the Hook and they would not be under the
control of the state Of New Jersey.
In reply to o question he said that If thev
were transferred to Sandy Hook they could
still be kept under the control of New York state
rs the federal government could temporarily
loan the land to the state. He said that the
period of incubation Of cholera was only seven
days. and that ten days was what was looked on
as safety after exposure.
On being asked if in that case a three-day
quarantine would not be sufficient at the New
York end to assure their safety provided a
steamer had been seven days at sea without any
case, he said that according to laws Of infection
| it would be. but it would also be necessary to
make assurance doubly sure in case Of a
cholera epidemic.
Gen. Hamilton is on board the Manhattan
| and will make trip down to the islands with the
tents, which will be erected for the accommo-
dation of the well emigrants from the steamers
