number of steamers arrived during the
early morning hours and dropped an
chor in the lower bay to await the ar
rival of the health officers after sunrise.
Among the arrivals were two crack
vessels belonging to the fleets of promi-
nent transatlantic lines. These were
the La Champagne, Capt. Boyer, of the
French line, which sailed from Havre
and Cherbourg, ana the Aurania, Capt.
Walker. of the Cunard line, from Liver
pool. The La Champagne was sighted
south of Flre island at 4:30 a. m., and
the Aurania at 6:55 a. m. They
showed clean bills of health. and, after
being Inspected by DR.. Tallmadge,
were allowed to drop anchor off the
quarantine station. The other arrivals
were the British steamer Martellow,
Capt. Rea, from Hull, which passed
Sandy Hook at 1875 a. m. and the
steamer Clentia, Capt. Bulman, from
Shields, which arrived in quarantine at
Cos a. m, ALI these steamers will be
closely Inspected, and if it is found that
cholera has made it appearance on
board of any of them they will be treat
ed in each instance in manner similar
to that adopted in the case of the in
fected vessels which are at present un-
dergoing quarantine. The steamer

has been active as usual today, going
the rounds of the steamers at the anchor
age. In addition to his regular rounds
he took passage in the Cepheus and pro-
ceeded to the Normannia to superintend
the transfer of her passengers to Fire
island. He returned late in the after
noon on Ed Stokes yacht Fra Diavolo,

of his movements: ''Have possession

The above telegram states definitely
| that the passengers would be landed
| shortly. There appears to be some
| doubt in the doctors mind, although he
does not say so, as to whether the
Cepheus can go III over the bar with the
| present wind blowing. The number of
new cases and deaths is not large, the
Scandia being the only one to present
further developments. Marie Janowitz,
aged two and half years, whose moth
er accompanied her ashore to the
| island; Anna Olsen, aged eight years,
and Make Mirske, aged thirteen
| years, were taken ill today and
removed to Swinburne island. There
was only one death, that OF Theodore
Olsen, three-year-old child, who was
taken i'll at O'clock this morning, and
died at eight. There is another death
on board the Scandia, but it was not
from cholera, Mazinia Bursa. "a nursing
infant, being taken off, affected with
