nearly every door on the first floor. The
stewards and chiefs were among them,
and in three minutes were dressed and in
the kitchen, where they
STARTED FIRES FOR BREAKFAST.
Whom Messrs. Thompson and Ward
started on their return trip they seemed to
be in happier mood. When an Associated
1875 Fire Island for an eight miles
sail 10 Babylon, where this dispatch was
nled, nearly all the passengers seemed to be
on the upper deck. AS the newspaper yacht
came alongside the Cepheus the people on
board were told that they would probably
be allowed to land tosday. A wild yell Of
delight greeted these words.

THE TROOPS TO REMAIN.

dispatch was received from Gov. Flower
addressed to Sheriff Darling saying the
governor preferred that the sheriff should re-
main at Babylon for the present and that
the troops would also remain there until all

are reported. The passengers on the La
Champagne and the Aller were released TO-
day.
The sheriff has informed Gov. Flower

FIRE ISLANDS WAR OVER.
FIRE ISLAND, Sept. IS, P. M.-From all
indications the baymen's little war Is over
The prompt action OF Gov. Flower has
quelled the disturbance. The state has as
serted its rights over It's newly acquired
property and the Normannias passengers
are now az last quartered in the Surf hotel
after an experience IN quarantine that will
live with them for years. The
troops arrived about noon and
their presence demonstrated to the
clam digRers that further resistance would
be useless, 50 when intelligence was received
that the court had vacated the Injunction
nothing remained for them but to permit
the health officers to peacefully land the
Normannia's passengers who had passed the
night on the Cepheus.
THE CEPHEUs' PASSENGERS GIVE CHEERS.
The fret intimation of the courts action
was received by the Associated Press and
Immediately communicated to the pass
sengers on the Cepheus, who acknowledged
the receipt of the good news by loud cheers,
playing America" '1' Soon Sa-Ds sfter~ard 1i
Sheriff Darling received a dispatch
from Gov. Flower, instructing him TO aid in
the work Of landing the passengers, as the
injunction had been vacated. Senator
MCPHERSON and A. M. Palmer came ashore
for the purpose OF locating rooms for uss
of the weary passengers, who soon disem-
barked and set foot on shore for the first
time in three weeks. Everything is quiet
and as there is no further need for the naval
reserves and troops, they will probably go
back tomorrow.
A great hustle followed the arrival of the
passengers az the hotel. Considering the
fact that 800 guests arrived within
FIVE minutes, it was natural
that some confusion should result
Every one was good netured,
however, and waited patiently until as
signed to their quarters Inside of two
hours all were comfortably located. No dis
tinetion was made IN the disposition Of
the rooms.
ALL PROVIDED FOR.
IL was all lottery. but there was no
grumbling. Second cabin passengers were
put In the westerly end and the first cabin
IN the easterly. At $50 o'clock supper was
served. 1t would be difficult to find a hap
pier crowd than that which filed the din
ing rooms. Conventionalities were cast aside
Every one knew every one else and
congratulations were showered from every
quarter of the room. No strict quarantine
was maintained. Had they thought of it
one-half Of the passengers could have walked
up shore half mile, hired a cst-boat and
sailed to the main shore.
A WIND STORM RAGING.
A wind storm is now raging and all the
passengers are thankful that they are not
on the Cepheus tonight. In reply TO an
offer of the men from lslip TO withdraw the
injunction IL the governor would promise
to sell tbehotel, Gov. Flower sent this tele-
gram:
NEW YORK, Sept. IS. 1892.
Your dispatch received and proposition de-
clined. The conduct of people of Islip
in refusing shelter to the passengers
by main force to prevent their landing
on state property is disgrace to our common
wealth. The state accepts no terms from law
breakers except submission to its authority.
Your proposition is an insult to executive and
state. ROSWELL p. FLOWER.
PRAISE FOR THE GOVERNOR.
A. Nj. Palmer tonight said: While the
passengers feel that they have been put to
great hardship they have nothing but
praise for Gov. Flower. He has shown
himself man all the way through. One
thing want to say is that the American
public has gone crazy on cholera. Not one
American has yet died on any of the in
fected ships. The disease only takes hold
of underfed and unclean persons. I have
lived with ii for eighteen days and
know"
THE INJUNCTION NOT BINDING.
ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 1S.-The attorney
general has wired Gov. Flower and Prof.
Collins at New York that Judge Barnard's
injunction on the governor and Health Off
Ger Jenkins against the use of Fire Island is
not binding. The attorney general says
that in the case Of Whiting, Vol. 2, of Bar
ber, the supreme court held that the health
officer of the port of New York was state
officer, and the attorney general holds that
no In junction can be granted against such
use OF Fire Island by a state officer, except
by general term under section COS OF the
code of civil procedure.

partment that they will cooperate with the
