NEW YoRK, Sept 21.-The health depart
ment received this afternoon from Prof
Biggs the result of the ARCHAEOLOGICAL
examinations made in the case OF John
Knox, fireman of the steamship Nevada,
and Louis Weinhagen. The report states
that both were cases of genuine Asiatic
cholera. A case Of suspected cholera was
reported to the board of health this after
noon, being Patrick Stewart, q boiler
maker employed in the BROOKLYN navy
yard. Two suspected cases of cholera
were reported TO the health board this
morning. One was from No. 63 Cherry
street. where Mary Murphy was found
SICK with cholera symptoms. She was
transferred to the hospital. The health
authorities regard this as very suspicious
case. The other suspected case comes
from Mrs. Juenthus' boarding house at
No. IA First street. from which the
coachman, Louis Weinhagen, was removed
onSaturday night. Another boarder, man
named Henry Engel. is suspect. The
quarantine was raised in the seven houses
today where cholera cases or suspected
cases had occurred. An autopsy was made
this afternoon on the body of Upe Joe
Wah, the Chinaman who died at No. IA
circumstances. The contents from the
body have been subjected to examination.
Mary Connerty, the young girl who is at
the reception hospital as suspect, will be
discharged tomorrow. She has not had
cholera.
A Mrs. Grappolas died tonight, it is sus-
pected. from cholera. She was seized with
vomiting and diarrhea during the after
noon. AT O'clock she died.
Upper quarantine is today again full of
steamers. The contingent from the lower
bay added five. which will be detained
here and unloaded. The cargoes of the
Moravia, Rugia and Normannia will be
discharged into lighters and the ves-
sells returned to Hamburg. The
big Inman liner, City of Paris,
arrived this forenoon. She carried
500 cabin passengers. among whom are
Thomas Bailey Aldrich and wife and Mr..
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania railway.

D. m. The Spaardam, which arrived about

brought out 179 passengers. She reports
all we'll.
AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 2L-Gov. Hogg to-
day issued proclamation of quarantine
against New York city and all other points
where cholera may appear.
CAMP Low, Sept. 2l.-Perfect confidence
has been restored here among the detained
people by the announcement after the
daily inspection that no new cases of chol-
era or suspicious cases had been found in
the last twenty-four hours. The sick in
the hospital are all in fair way to recov-
cry, except an unknown infant, whose
mother and two little sisters died on the
Rugia while at sea. Through the neglect of
the ships steward and stewardess it is re-
ported the child is dying from the effects of
absolute starvation. The case has given
rise to very severe structures among the
people here, and expressions of the most
bitter indignation at the wanton cruelty
of the steamship people. Late this even
ing Maj. Huntington. commandant of the
marine camp, reported the death of Joseph
McMahofe, q private of the marines. from
purpura hemorrhage, disease of the
veins, from which he had suffered long
time.
QUARANTINE, L. l., Sept. Y.-Dr. Jenkins

count of the recent death of a stoker after
the vessels arrival at her dock.
