QUARANTINE, N. Y. Sept. 2.-lSpe-
| iall-10:30 a. IN. Tho situation at
Quarantine remains unchanged this
morning.
| The steamer Island, with,5S cabin and
SIT Storage passengers, arrived here
this morning. All tho storage passen-
| gers are Scandanavians and Danes, and
are remarkably clean and healthy lot
Of people. The Island will be allowed
| to proceed this afternoon. On the Gath
OF August an emigrant named Christie n
den was washed overheard and drowned.
The City Of Berlin arrived with 2O3
flrst-class cabin, 232 second. class and
S5s Storage. The passengers are all
well on board and had not heard OF the
arrival of cholera in England. They
were very excited over the news.
The Veedam was released from QUAR-.
antine this afternoon and came up to
her pier. No case of cholera was dis
covered on any of the quarantined
vessels. A very careful examination
will be made Of the ships expected in
the next few days as it is feared some
OF them may be pest ships. Dr. Byron,
the bacteriologist. who has boon exam
| lining the clothing and bedding sent
from the infected Moravia said to-day
that he had not found any cholera
germs, but that was not strange, as only
| small piece Of mattress and sheet
were sent him, all infected articles hav-
ing been thrown overheard. This was
very odd conduct, the doctor said. on
| the part OF tho Moravia's physician.
Now York is thoroughly alarmed at
the situation and the result is that the
city was never so we'll equipped to pre-
| vent the Introduction Of any diseas or to
combat it If the disease should find
| lodging in the metropolis. The quaran-
tine regulations are nearly perfect and in
the city all municipal departments are
preparing to assist in stamping out
cholera. Mayor Grant has vetoed the
resolution recently passed by the board
OF aldermen making Saturday next,
which precedes Labor Day, legal holt
day. He says in view of the danger
which threatened the city from asiatic
cholera all heads of departments and
| their full staff of assistants should be on
constant duty.
The twenty days quarantine circular
issued by the President has had the de-
sired effect. and nearly every steamship
| agent received cables announcing that
their companies would carry no more
| storage passengers for the present.
The French line, White Star, Cunarder
and Hamburg Companies were some
companies which haye gone out Of the
Immigrant business temporarily Word
was received from the Treasury Depart.
ment that cabin passengers would not
be detained at quarantine after the
health officers were satisfied that they
could safely depart. Freight vessels
also will be held long enough to obviate
the danger of cholera introduction.
Mails are being fumigated and the dan
cor frem this source is so we'll recog-
niZed that 1t is minimized to n great de-
gree. Canadian mails will also be fumi-
gated.

ST, PETERSBURG, Sept. 2.-lSpecial
The official returns for the empire,
August 80, are as follows: New cases
5,272; deaths, cree. Compared with
the figures OF August 90, this is an in
crease OF Ala new cases and 1913 deaths
These figures, though official, are
known to be incomplete, for as has
been before stat ed many of the smaller
villages in which the diseases is known
to exist, are not heard FROM and if
heard from at all, too late to incorpo-
rate their returns in the official re-
port. 1t is thought, too, that in many
unfrequented parts Of the several gov
ernments in which the epidemic is prev
alent, that no reports as to cases and
deaths have been made. In st. Petersburg
there ls no trouble in getting the exact
figures. The city returns for yesterday
give total OF 144 new cases ana ii
beats, as compared with the returns Of
Wednesday.
