II they stepped from the vessel. The hawser
that was thrown to post was Immediately
| thrown back. Five policemen on the
Cepheus climbed the gunwale and motioned
as though to draw revolvers, but went no
further. G. T. Wall, whom Gov.
Flower authorized to take charge
OF the hotel here, asked the mob
to listen to him, and then said: ~ repre-
sent the state Of New York, and am author
lied to land here and assume charge" The
| crowd shouted; "Show us your authority. ~
He thereupon produced paper which he be-
gan to read, but could not make himself
| heard.
| APPEALS FROM PASSENGERS UEHEEDED,
Many passengers. mostly women, ap-
| pealed to the crowd Co allow them to land,
but the answers that came were derisive
shouts. Lawyer Reid and Supervisor
| Young informed those aboard the steam
boat that Justice Barnard had granted an
io5G9nosion ioJ9i1s vr% restraining ming them from
injunction, but as the document hadVnot
yet arrived 1t could not be produced They
stated, however, that it was on the way.
| The Cepheus again ran alongside Of the
| dock, but solid line of determined bay men
repelled the attempt to land.
THE CROWD JEERED HIM.
Wall again asserted his authority, but
when he stated that his authority was from
| DR.. Jenkins, the crowd jsered and Super
visor Young shouted: ave don't recognize
| DR.. Jenkins or Gov. Flowers authority
here" Lottie Collins, she Boom-de-ay
singer who was on the Normannia, stood
| in the first row of the passengers
that lined the decks of the
Cepheus, put out both hands and
| cried Shame, shame; you who call your
| selves Americans; shame" and as the
steamer again backed from the dock the
| English actress kissed her hand and smiled.
After the Cepheus had anchored boat was
| lowered and Wall and Capt. Triple
were rowed in 1t to the dock, but were not
| allowed TO step ashore.
WANTED TO CONFER.
| Wall said he desired to confer with the
| committee. but was not allowed to land.
| He finally read his authority from DR..
Jenkins. Supervisor Young replied: II
| do not recognize DR.. Jenkins. This is not
the port of New York, and do not pro-
pose TO allow any passengers from the In
footed ships TO land In the town OF Islip."
but we have not sick person on board :;
everybody is well, and appeal to you in
| behalf of American women and children to
allow these people to land, said Wall.
1--WE think OF our own women and chill
dren first, and intend to protect them at all
hazards" replied the supervisor.
THREATENING THE DOCTOR.
While this conversation was going on DIR.
| Voight, who is at the hotel to attend the
| passengers, appeared on the dock and began
| telling Wall he had charge there, when
! several bay men crowded around him shout
ing: Throw him into the water; drown
| himw and would have probably carried out
these threats but for the reporters. The
boat returned 70 the Cepheus where the de-
| jected passengers spirits were being kept
| up by band of music, the band playing
"Star Spangled Banner" "God Save the
| Queen" aud Yankee Doodle"
The boat came of again, however, and
| Wall asked TO have provisions sent aboard
| the Cepheus. Some In the crowd shouted
IAN right; let them have oil the provisions
they want, but a greater number answered
mo, no. give them nothing; let them GO
back to New York"
DEPUTIES ORDERED TO THE SCENE.
DR.. Voight has just stated that he is In
formed that Gov. Flower has telegraphed
| Sheriff Darlington OF Suffolk county 20
| come here with deputies and keep the state
property clear of intruders, and protect the
| Cepheus passengers in landing. Many
threats were made Of burning or cutting
| down the dock II the passengers began to
| land, and number of men procured axes
with which 20 cut away sufficient OF the
| dock near the hotel to prevent persons
reaching the latter.
| ARRIVAL OF THE INJUNCTION.
| At 1855 o'clock Lawyer Eugene Fistel
| of Babylon, counsel to the Islip board of
health, reached here with a copy of the in
| junction granted by Justice Barnard. His
arrival was greeted with prolonged cheers
| from the crowd on the dock.
| Everything is In readiness In the hotel for
the care Of $40 passengers on the Cepheus
| whenever they are landed. A carload of
provisions has just arrived from New York.
| People here have been made insane by
their exercise OF power. The events since
nightfall have displayed degree of

AN APPEAL FOR THE WOMEN AND Chill
DREN.
After some minutes Of insulting retorts
| by the mob he was allowed to speak. He
| said the men on the steamer did not ask to
| land. Young women would remain IL nec-
essary, but old women, some Of them grand
mothers, and children, suffering not for
comforts but for decent care, should be
allowed to land. They would be returned
TO the steamer after a nights rest and one
/ meal
