BABYLON, l.. l., Sept. 13.-From nll in
dcations the little local war is over. AT
about 430 o'clock this afternoon DIR, d. S.
Sammis, late proprietor of the Surf Hotel
at Fire Island, was interviewed here lie
asserted that the opposition to establishing
e quarantine station at Fire Island had been
excited by certain hot-headed mon for polit-
ical effect.
Blr. Sammis said: "The steamer Norma
MAS passengers have oil been safely landed
and have been made as comfortable as pos
sible. They have plenty of good food, nice
rooms, plenty of attendance, and every
thing they can wish except freedom. There
is 30 need now to send any troops here. At
Babylon, at Islip, and at Bay Shore, eli is
quiet"
number OF leading men of all classes
confirmed the news expressed by Mr.. Sam
mis-.
Tho sheriff hos informed Gov. Flower
that there is no further use for troops at
Fire Island. II is expected that the mill
tnry will be withdrawn tomorrow aud
that they will not 60 to Fire Island
The story which reaches hero of the land
ing OF the passengers from tho Cepheus is 10
the effect that Sheriff Darling Of Suffolk
county, upon hearing of Gov. Flowers de-
tcrmined action, concluded that it was best
to give up the fight before the naval reesrvs
or the troops reached here. Consc Jueutly
when the Cepheus approached the landing
this afternoon he turned TO the guard of
men upon the pier and informed them that
the in njunction issued by Judge Barnard
did not seem to bo legal and that consequent
ly he would advise them to 60 quietly to
their homes
This evening the Associated Press cor
respondent in the face of hale gale of
wind put oil from Babylon and took q
scudding view of the quarantine passengers
on Fire Island. Tho lights in tho big hotel
Eiimmered in tho most cheerful manner
People were coming aud going before the
windows and everything seemed about as
peaceful as it was possible to be.

people on Fire Island is a farce. The cor
respondent saw at least dozen catboats
come from Fire Island to the main land,
AMI there land loads of people. who it see ed
had been in close communication and con-
Yersation with the NormmaniG passengers.
It is 5aid that when the steamboat Ripple
