at t:SS p. M. She carried SIC saloon
passengers and thirty-two second-class
passengers. The fact that she had no
immigrants on board added to the hone of
the passengers and crew that the vesse,
would not be detained, but their hope
was not of long endurance, as the
health officer on boarding her ordered the
ships detention, although all the passen.
gers baggage had been shipped at Cher
oourg at the government wharf and in.
spected and fumigated there, affidavits to
that effect being presented to the quaran-

with sickness during the voyage and died

Dr. jenkins returned late in the evening
from down the bay, and calling the re-
porters together. after the reports of new
cases had been given out. r.
ported that on Saturday night a

the new quarantine station at Sandy

had been decided To hold the steamers
Wyoming and Moravia for at least ten
days after all trace of sickness on board
had been lost.
Dr. Byron reported that outside of new
cases of sickness all the patients at Swim
hurne island were doing well. and that DR..
Hynde. surgeon of the Wyoming, who
had been received ut the island three davs
ago. had returned To his ship perfectly re-
covered from his slight sickness.
DIR. Jenkins having received word of
opposition being threatened by the resi-
dents of Babylon to landing detained
passengers at Fire island, telegraphed
to Gov. Flower requesting him to notify
DIR. Batch to proceed with the landing
under the direction of the executive
Later in the evening the governor re-
piled that the landing would be done re-
gardless of the people of Babylon, and
notifying DIR. Jenkins that he would
be at the Windsor hotel tomor-
row morning. DIR. Jenkins received
word that the passengers on the Cepheus
were forcibly prevented from landing at
Fire island by a force of $50 armed deputies
from Babylon, L. 1. He wired for particu-
lars. When the Cepheus returned to Sandy
Hook at I0:l0 DIR. jenkins at once
dispatched his secretary down the bay
with instructions to look after the passen-
gers and see that they are made as COM
Portable as circumstances will admit,
as they will have to remain on the
boat all night. No news is likely to be re-
ceived here tonight regarding the Cepheus'
passengers. The. news from Sandy
Hook says she is In the vicinity
of the Stonington at the lower
quarantine. Whether DR.. Sanborn, who
is in charge of them, will return to Ston-
ington or put them on board the Norman
MIA again, no one knows. They
cannot remain on board the Ce-
pheus with any safety, as although
she has some provisions on board, she has
nothing like the accommodation neces-
sary for the large number of passengers
removed from the steamer. The wind was
blowing fresh and it would be difficult IL
not impossible to get the Cepheus along
side the Normannia tonight.
