TIL. SITUATION STILL DAEGEEOCs.
| There is in many quarters a disposition
! to bclittie the gravity OF the situation At
! quarantine now that II has been shown
| that the health authorities have success
| fully fought cholera for Is days, but, il
must hot be forgotten that about $500
| people are now IN quarantine, and that
before the flood Of tmgrants cease that
there will be about lD,upD people to be
| cared for ut the gates Of New York. The
| quarantine barracks at Hoffman Island
are already oSertasked, and all the cots in
the infectious disease wards on Swiuburne
| Island arc 'ull.
Happily the government camp on Sandy
/ Hook, Camp Lewis, is about ready for oc-
/ cupation. and the Surf Hotel OH Fire
| Island may be made ready if the bay men
| permit or If the state authorities triumph,
| with Is cottages and Us acres of land to
accommodate more people than those
| which it is proposed to take there from
the NOrmannia.
But il is All open question as TO whether
even these preparations will meet the re-
| quiremcnts. However, even should further
camp groups be required, ii will be
promptly provided By the Federal authori-
ties or by the state, rs both are now APP
parcntly working iii harmony
There is still room for Improvement in
our Notifications, but, the city may be said
to be in u better state Of defence than it
ever WAS before, and feeling Of eqia-
mmity has given place To amy feeling OF
alarm, which may have existed in some
quarters
There is still feature Of the siege which
has not been calculated 10 any great CN-
tent, and that is the danger 10 which the
quarantincd ships and passengers will be
| exposed il the regularly expected mid
september storm breaks upon our coast
IN that case the situation of the detained
passengers may be grave and there will be
danger that the quarantine steamers may
drag their anchors and foul each other, or
even SO ashore In The latter case, the
loss Of immigrant life might he great.
