The Yellow Flag Hoisted the Normannia
and Rugia and Holman Island.


The Yellow Flag Hoisted on the Normannia
and Rugia and Hoffman Island.
! New YORK, Sept. s.-A dispatch received
here from Quarantine at 9.30 this morning an
nounced that the quarsntined steamers Nor
MAMMA and Rugia had hoistec the yellow flag
| again and that the same signal is fying at
Hoffman Island. These signals indicate there are
more cholera cases this morning on the Nor
MAMMA, the Rugia and on Hoffman Island. for il
was agreed yesterday between the health off,
| Ger and the commanders of the steamships
mentioned that the yellow flag after YESTERDAY
was not to be hoisted unless rs a notification
that additional cases Of cholera had been dis
covered.
YESTERDAYS RECORD.
The record for yesterday was eight fresh
| cases among the crew Of the Normannia and
two more cases among the steerage passengers
| Of the same ship. Consequently since .lIe
cholera arrived here there have been thirty-one
cases OF sickness from that disease and eight
! ceaths from tine same cause at this port.
1t will be noticed. however. that this is not an
alarming state of effairs considering that there
| are about twenty steamships detained either at
the upper quarantine or anchored in the lower
| bay at the cholera anchorage.
1t viii also be seen that the dreaded scourge
has been almost entirely confined to the crew OF
Il u
vessel seem to be the greatest sufferers Eight
| OF the steamers crew-all strong. hardy men
were removed from the vessel yesterday after
| noon and transferred 10 Swinburne Island.
| The doctor would not say that these men
| were suffering from cholera. but admitted that
they had diarrhna and other symptoms that
! were very suspicious II is safe to assume
| that the transfers of these men to the pest
island would not have been made had not the
| health officers been morally certain that the
disease was cholera.
| SICK MEN TAKEN TO THE NoRMANSIA
And now comes the most serious and signifi-
cant part of it, These eight men who we're
taken from the Normannia in agony had only
the day before been taken back to the ship after
| twelve hours stay on Hoffman Island where
| they were scrubbed fumigated and dislnfected
with all possible thoroughness Along with
some 500 Others they were taken back to the
Normannia in apparently excellent health. and
the following day they we're prostrated with
Asiatic cholera, or something very like il.
| One of the health officials spoke of these new
cases rather lightly. as if they were of little i'm
| portance and not cholera at all
1T vas all the result of washing these fell
lows, he said, laughing. 1.-The shock of such
| an unfamiliar experience was too much for
them. You can develop pretty much any dis
ease by treating these unwashed immigrants
with water. They caught cold, got cramps and
diarrhna, and that is all there is to it. 1t was
not cholerine. but bathing'S

DIR. Jenkins SAYS that these doubtful cases
even though they are sent 10 Swinburne Island
will be carefully isolated from the other cholera
! cases there. but any one who knows how small
this island is will be scarcely reassured nv that
statement.
