NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Tbere were 356
passengers from the Rugia and Scan
dia taken to Hoffman Island this morn
ing, making the total number in quar-
antine there l,O65. General Hamilton is
very indignant at DR.. Jenkins for send
ing the Scandal and Rugia's passengers
to the island, thus turning loose among
people who are not known to have been
infected and are being held there merely
as precautionary measure, people from
the pest ships. Thirteen of the lot from
the Scandal had been in the pesthouse ON
Swinburne Island.
The girl Mary Connerty will be dis
charged from the reception hospital in a
few days. IT is generally conceded that
she is not cholera victim.
DIR. Roberts quarantined the canal boat
Henry Cahill, lying at the foot of West
Thirty-Grst street, the Captain and owner
of which died at New Brunswick, n. j.,
last night of supposed cholera. He also
seized the bedding and clothing aboard
the boat and disinfected the craft. An
inspector of the Board of Health has been
sent to New Brunswick to procure some
intestinal fluid from the body OF Cahill for
a ARCHAEOLOGICAL examination.
The following dispatch from DIR. Byron
at Swinburne Island was this afternoon
received by DIR. Jenkins: "Dr. Abbott is
just back from the ships. He brings two
bodies from the Scandia-Regina Gistoff,
aged 66, who died Of heart failure, and
Chris Oleson, aged S months, from moras-
mus - and one new patient from the
steamship Bohemia, Scholen Schasn,
aged 10 years. With this exception all
our patients are out Of danger and the
island will soon be free from cholera
patients"
ANOTHER CASE IN NEW YORK.
New YORK, Sept. 19.-Louis Vein
hagel, a coachman, was removed tonight
by the health authorities from board
ing-house at 400 Extra Place to the Re-
ceiving Hospital at the foot of West Six
teenth street. He is believed to be suffer-
ing from an attack of Asiatic cholera.
and the phySians in attendance expressed
the opinion that Weinhagei could not
live through the night The house,
which contained over two hundred other
boarders, was placed under quarantine.
The Furnesia arrived here to-day from
Glasgow. Six hundred and twenty
eight passengers were on board-22l in
the first cabin and 407 in the second cabin.
There was a report down town that the
Furnesia was carrying Storage passen-
gers as cabin passengers in order to avoid
the tWenty-day quarantine regulation
1t was said that many of the 407 supposed
second cabin were really steerage passen-
gers, and when the list was examined
the names of eighty-twO were missing.
At the office it was denied that steerage
passengers had come over in the cabin,
The authorities will likely investigate.
The steamer is still quarantined.
CHOLERA AT SANDY HOOK.
CAMP Low SANDY Hook, Sept. 19.-It
was officially announced at late hour
that Asiatic cholera has broken out here.
Francesca MorenZo, a Normannia pas
senger who landed here Sunday morn
ing, died of the disease in a tent where he
had been isolated at 10 P. VI. The body
will be cremated at Swinburne Island.
A widow, name unknown, accompanied
by her four children, were taken i'll with
every symptom of the disease shortly
after IL P. NJ, and Dr. Rauch, the cholera
expert, Immediately had the family re-
moved to an isolated tent. The mans
death is said to have been largely due to
excuses in which he INDUCED on Mon
day night. Great excitement prevails
among the officials at the camp, and fears
are entertained of a stampede OF the peo-
pie here from fear when the fact is
made public. The dead man and in
fected family were passengers on the
NOrmannia, and had been in quarantine
for eighteen days past.
NO REASON FOR ALARM.
CONCORD, Sept. 19.-Dr. Irving A. Wat
son. Chairman of the International Quar-
antine Committee recently appointed by
the International Conference Of Boards of
Health, who has just returned, said in an
interview to-day that there was not q
single port on the North Atlantic Coast
supplied with all requisite means and
methods Of modern maritime sanitary
science. At no single port was there
found a suitable plant for quickly and
efficiently disintecting plague-stricken
ships. Anticipated methods are mostly
employed. While many Of our ports are
deficient as regards quarantine stations,
cholera is not very likely to be admitted
through ports during the present year,
although the danger is ever present of its
introduction, and all immigration from
cholera-iniected- countries should be alb
sOlutely suspended for year or more.
The commission found the port of Phila-
delphia the best equipped of any of the
ports examined. Thus far there is no
cause for alarm in this country-nothing
/ hat should interfere with domestic
n avel The lateness of the season is in
OF I favor for this year, and Congress and
sui ordinate legislative bodies should
fUlrl lish the necessary means to strengthen
the weak points in the defenses req uired
TO M event the Introduction OF cholera u
anyaother disease.
