Camp Low Is Now Occupied by Isolated
Suspects.
CAMP Low, Sandy Hook, September
18.-Seven hundred passengers from the
steamers Normannia and Rugia were
landed here today to undergo at'Eird of
the required detention in quarantine.
When the boat carrying the first load of
passengers came alongside the wharf,
Gen. Hamilton and the medical staff of
the camp walked down the gangway.
Promptly at 1886 on the General giving
orders, Camp Low became isolated from
the world until the strict quarantine is
raised. As the immigrants landed they
filed past the interpreters who took
down the name, age, place of birth,
destination and name of ship in which
each had come. Mayor Grant and others
today inspected the camp. He expressed
unqualified satisfaction at the perfect
arrangements made for the comfort
Of the detained passengers. Health
Officer Jenkins is equally pleased
with the camp and said the sanitary ar
rangements were perfect. A large num-
ber of the persons landed here are Amer
ican citizens abroad for the summer with
round trip tickets as cabin passen-
gers and compelled to return home in
the steeragee as the cabins of the Ham
burg company's steamers were all filed.
The passengers on landing were supplied
with a substantial dinner. Nearly all
the passengers are loud in their denoun-
citation of the officials of the Hamburg
American line because of the treatment
they received on board the vessel.
