Fire Island, n. Y. Sept. 13.-From all
| indications the baymens' little war is
ended. S. S. SammiS the late propri
etor of the hotel said the trouble is a
| tempest in a teapot. Some of the bay
men were excited by people who had
| political measures to serve and became
| impressed more or less with the idea
| that the establishment of a quarantine
| at Fire island would injure their bus
| mess This is all bosh and they know it
is so and practically admit it.
| The Normannia's passengers are all
| landed and will be made rs comfortable
as possible.
| The sheriff Informed Gov. Flower
! that there is no further use for trops.
! The expected military will be with
drawn tomorrow and they viii not go
! to Fire island.
! An associated press correspondent
subsequently interviewed a number OF
| leading men of all classes Of residents,
! baymcn and hotel men, and all join in
saying that the views expressed by
Sammis are undoubtedly correct in all
main particulars.
/ One fact became evident to the cor
respondent and that was that the quar-
! antine people on Fire island are farce
OF the very worst description. AT least
| q half dozen boats came to the island
| and there landed loads of people who,
| It seems, from general conversation
J and from the admission Of several
| in,
cation and conversation with the Nor
! mammals detained cabin passengers.
, The sheriff assured the governor chat
! tie people will abide by the law and
| there is no further need Of troops or
q posse Thus it Will be seen that all
| trouble here appears TO have blown off.
| At 11:3O p. M, a dispatch was re-
ceiyed from Governor Flower, address
| ed to Sheriff Darling, saying that the
| governor preferred that the sheriff
! should remain at Babylon for the pres
ent and the troops would also remain
there until all danger of interference
with the state authorities has passed.
| At this hour all is quiet.
| The Injunction yaraten.

Gov Flower ordered the Fourteenth
and Eorly-seventh regiments of Brook

Naval Reserve, to repair to Fire Island
and to protect the State property
there. Meanwhile gentleman has
| offered through Gov. Flower u large
estate within nine miles of Babylo for
the Immediate accommodation Of the
| passengers of the Cepheus.
| Sheriff Darling of Suffolk county,
with posse of his deputies, arrived at
Fire Island from Riverhead last night
In obedience to Gov. Flowers orders to
! prevent any violation Of the law. hen
| they intended to do what they could to
put down the mob and open way for
the landing Of the passengers, but
| when the sheriff arrived he found that
the injunction papers had already been
served and at once sought legal advice.
| lie was told that Notwithstanding Gov.
| Flower order he would have to act in
a of h.a
preme court.
| A close vigil was kept up during the
night, as it was feared that an attempt
would be made to set fire to the hotel
and the cottages Few on the little
island had any sleep. A good break
| fast was sent out to the Cepheus at
! O'clock.
