THE SITUATION ON THE NoRMANNIA.
DR.. Wauser visited the Wieland. He
found all well on board, contrary to expec-
tations. She had cabin but no steerage
passengers. Up TO 8 o'clock there was one
dsath and one new case among the Norman
MIA crew. The dead man is Carl Blessing,
aged 80. aud the sick man is Edward Weiss,
aged 81. The Wyoming, which had two
suspicious deaths during the voyage and
was ordered TO the lower quarantine, has
27o cabin and 363 storage passengers. Ii
is probable that cabin passengers on board
the NormanniA, Rugia and Moravia will
soon be sent to better quarters, either on
the steamers New Hampshire or Stoning-
ham OF at Sandy Hook. Their detention
/ amid the infected surroundings is not alone
wearing on them but on their friends IN the
metropolis.
SEEKING THE RELRAsE OF RELATIVES.
To-day L. Goldstricker, a merchant Of the
city, rushed wildly into the office of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. company. and, while
tears trlckled down his cheeks, first de-
| manded and then besought the release Of
his mother and two brothers, detained on
| the plague ship Normannia. During the
efforts OF several clerks to quiet him he
| talked about shooting DR.. Jenkins. Finally
he left TO carry his appeal 60 the quarantine
commissioners.
Reports received here show that the au-
thoriTies in the United States, Canada, and
Mexico are thoroughly alive to the situa-
tion and have taken measures which will
| break out, and from a sanitary point Of
view be of great benefit if the cholera be
| averted.
QUARANTINE ALMOST UNIVERSAL.
Considerable trouble, however, is being
given the shippers and vessel men, all ports
having restrictions In effect. Quarantine
has almost universally been declared against
ships from the infected ports.
Detroit has purchased a steamer and fitted
her up as q cholera hospital for use should
the disease appear via Canada.
QUARTERS FOR DETAINED PASSENGERS.

rooms of Secretary Foster at the Fifth Ave-
nue. hotel, at which there were present be-
