The Cholera.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The situation
at quarantine is practically unchanged
since DR.. Jenkins returned from the
islands last night and reported two adj
ditional deaths on the Normania, one
on the Rugia and one on the Moravia
1t is impossible to say whether there
are any fresh cases to-day. Patrol
officers will be stationed at quarantine
and arrest any person cndeavorlng
to communicate with the vessels in the
lower bay. No fresh cases are likely
to break out on the Normania now that
her emigrants have been removed and
that their quarters have been thorough
ly fumigated. The Storage passen-
gers on Hoffman Island are liable to
deyelope the disease, but they will at
once be transferred to the hospital at
Swinburne Island, if taken sick. The
steerage passengers of the Rugia will
be taken on shore to-day and the
steamer will be thoroughly disinfected.
The same procedure will obtain in the
case ofthe 1Ioravia. The La Bourgogne
will be visited by the doctors to-day
and some decision may be reached as
to the cabin passengers. There is pos
sibility of their being released to-day
and consequently there is likely to be
some clash between federal and health
authorities.
DR.. Talmadge made another visit to
La Bougoyne, Fulda. Darmstardt, and
Stubbenuk this morning. He reported
that no sickess had broken out since
his last visit. After his visit to the
Darmstadt he ordered her to be fumi-
gated again although she has been dis
infected before.
New YORK, Sept. 5.--There is no
real scare feeling in this city in spite Of
the additional deaths from cholera on
board the steamships detained at quar-
antine. The health board and quaran-
tine officials are making night and day
efforts against any spread OF the much
dreaded scourge to this city, but the
public at large, while admitting that
the situation is serious, is going about
its business as usual. Secretary Foster,
Surgeon-General Hamilton and others,
to-day visited the quarantine station.
Agent Schwab of the North German
Lloyd line said that he had .;2ard this
morning there were two case ofcholera
in Bremen. This he considered very
important announcement in view of
the fact that Bremen is not an infected
port. Actress Jonstone Bennett, who
was to open in "Janc" tonight, is a pas
senger on the Ia Bourgogne now de-
tanned at Quarantine The Waes-
land" and the Belgenland are the
only vessels of the Red Star line now
ahoat. The former is the last of that
line to carry Storage passengers.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany's clerks at Hoboken have become
frightened and to-day refused to receive
dispatches from the infected ships.
LONDON, Sept. 5.-The steamer Elbe,
from Hamburg, arrived in the Tyne
last evening with one of her officers
down with the cholera. He was re-
moved to the floating hospital that has
been provided for cholera patients,
where he died this morning. The
steamer has been placed in quarantine.

were reported throughout Russia on
Friday 1872 new cases of cholera and
1871 deaths from the disease In the
city of st. Petersburg 1913 new cases
and 40 deaths were reported yesterday.
1t should again be pointed out, how
ever, that these figures include only
the patients who are taken TO the hos
pitfalls and who die in them. Compared
with the official figures of Thursday
the returns of Friday for all Russia
show decrease of 2,S6l new cases and
923 deaths. Compared with the new
cases and deaths reported in st. Peters
burg on Saturday, Sundays figures
show a decrease of II cases and an in
crease OF 9 deaths.

cholera and nine deaths from the di-
seasc were reported in this city yestcr-
day.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 5.-At meet
ing of the Cabinet the danger of en-
trance into Canada of the cholera
scourge was discussed earnestly and
measures for its exclusion were consid-
cred 1t was decided to issue stringent
regulations to meet the urgency of the
case. The report from Quebec that the
government has refused the request of
the municipal authorities for the use of
the old emigrant sheds as cholera
hospital because of their use by the
Canadian Pacific Railroad as freight
sheds is not correct. The request, in
which the provincial secretary joined,
