The SITUATION GRAVE.
Especially Sad Fate of the Passengers on
the Normannia.

QUARANTINE, S. l., September s.-The
cholera situation at quarantine is no doubt
very grave. Not only are new cases break
ing out every day among the Storage pas
sengers OF the ill-fated NOrmannla and
Rugia, the former of whom are on Hoh-

among the crew of the big express steamer.
who are on board. If anything can be
added TO the horror Of the situation II Is
the fact that the cabin passengers, who
have been free from any signs OF the dis
ease. are still kept like rats in trap en-
closed within the sides Of the steamer with
cholera raging alongside them.
A TERRIBLE Possibility.
If the cholera breaks out among them
God knows where 1t will end: and If the
results are TO be Judged from those which
have occurred among the crew since they
were first attacked the mortality will be
appalling. When the NormaDnia arrived
on Saturday morning none but the steer
age passengers had any symptoms of the
disease. although 1t had broken out some
days before. Now the crew have it IN
their midst and still the first and second
cabin passengers have escaped.
NOWHERE FOR THEM TO GO.
