New YORK, September Gil there
is any change i'll the cholIra sit
uation this morning it is for the
better. 1t is possible that during the
day the condition of the detained saloon
passengers be improved. DR.. jenkins.
health officer, is trying to complete ar
rangcments withthe Ilamburg-AmericaH
Packet company by which a sound
steamer or some other large, clean and
commodious craft may be anchored
within the dead line and serve as ho-
tel hospital for the saloon passengers OF
the Normandir, many of whom are
wealthy and influential people. The
passengers claim it would &c better
for them to leave the infected ship and
take M quarters on some vessel not yet
visited by the cholera. 1t seems prob
able that their request will be granted.
On all sides are heard the highest
praises of the conduct of the ladies im-
prisoned on the. pest ships. They have
shown most praiscworthv nerve and set
a bright example to the fainthearted OF
the other sex.

Island man and child, and one death" "
