QUARANTINE, S. l., Sept. 6.-In some
respects the news communicated 4y DIR.
jenkins, on his arrival from lower quar-
antine, this evening, is more reassuring
than any since the much dreaded dis
ease arrived in port. On board the
Moravia no fresh cases have shown up
| in the last three days. There are now
only three cases of measles on board.
On the Normannia, the cabin passen-
gers are all we'll, though very
discontented at their long detention.
The disinfected quarters of the stokers
were inspected, and DR.. Jenkins decided
to return some of the stokers and re-
move the deckhands for disinfection.
The doctor is anxious to obtain a vessel
to which he could remove the saloon
passengers for absolute security. He is
going to telegraph the secretary of the
navy and ask him to place ship at his
service.
NEW CASES ON THE RUGIA.
"Three new cases." was the report of
the doctor, as the health officer stepped
on the deck of the Rugia. Jacob Graw-
er, 81 years of age, was taken down
during the night, quickly followed by
Johannes Jabloniker, rs years, and
Kathe Seiffert, aged %, all of the steer
age. The cabin passengers are well,
and settled down to their fate of long
quarantine, determined to make the
best of things generally.
On the Moravia no new cases have oc-
Cured. and as this was the third day
DR.. Jenkins's face was more cheerful,
and he expressed the opinion that the
cholera stampede was over on board.
DEATHS on HOFFMAN ISLAND.
On Hoffman Island Heinrich Freitag,
aged twenty, Franz Baumbach, Rudolph
Euk and Christian Petersen, all stokers
of the Normannia, who had been taken
ill on shore, are dead. The steer
age passengers also taken i'll and 8year-
old Gertrude Shorn, are dead. Two
of the eick at Hoffman island were re-
moved during the afternoon to Swim
burne island, and two other cases of
sickness placed in the emergency hos
pital at Hoffman island, as cholera sus-
poets. AT Swinburne island there are
no new deaths, though Adelaide Merrs,
a nurse, who was taken sick yesterday,
is much worse.
POLICE PATROL BOATS.
New YORK, Sept. 6.-Additional pre-
cautions against cholera were instituted
today. Henceforth police patrol boats
will circle night and day around the in
fected ships, cutting them off altogether
from communication with the shore.
toh 49, al L. g.
of the crematories on Swinburne island
were burning iercely last night. From
this it is judged that the latest victims
of the sconrge were reduced to ashes
, during the midnight hours.
ARRIVALS AT QUARANTINE.
! At the upper quarantine arrivals have
been the Persian Monarch, from
London, with 65 cabin and %
steerage passengers; the Condor,
from Glasgow, with 104 cabin and
113 steerage aboard, the bark Liberia,
from Sierra Leone, with 16 passengers,
and the steamer Orizaba. from Mexico
and Havana. All are we'll on board the
ocean steamers, and as neither of them
has arrived from infected ports, their
detention is not likely to be ex-
tenQeu. Inc Ccduula, WHICH may ar
rive at any moment. is now being
anxiously looked for. She is from
Hamburg, and has emigrants on board,
and is the only steamer likely to
arrive within the next few days with
cholera on board. The Joseph John,
from Hamburg, may also arrive at any
any moment. She is tramp and is
now out sixteen days. The North Ger
man steamer Elbe, from Bremen, and
Cashmere, from Naples, have arrived.
They both have a large number
of steerage passengers on board.
Though neither Bremen or Naples
are infected ports, a very
strict examination will be made,
and if Hamburg provisions are on board,
the first named may have long quar-
antine.
DR.. Jenkins has been advised that
many vessels of the Hamburg line, sail
ing from Southampton, receive their
provisions from Hamburg. If this be
the case, they will probably be subjected
to long quarantine, also.
