twenty-five passengers on board the
steamship Moravin, of the Hamburg
American line, from Ham burg. During
the passage of the ship to this point,
which the ship doctor insisted were from
choleraine. All were buried at sea.
The fret death took place August 10th,
and the last death August 29th. The
Moravia was ordered to lower bay, and
the health officers who made the in
spection of the Moravia's passengers
pronounce the cause of death in the
stricken cases as true Asiatic cholera.
All the Immigrants in the steamship
were transferred to Hoffman Island.
After leaving, DR.. jenkins was sum-
lnened from shore, when his deputy,
who first went aboard, learned of the
condition of affairs. and he personally
interviewed the ship physician and Of
fcers regarding the disease aboard the
ship. The surgeon of the Moravia de-
clared the twenty-five passengers of the
ship had undoubtedly died of chol-
eraine, and DIR. Jenkins Immediately or
dered the steamer off shore, giving her
commander instructions to anchor off
Hoffman island and remain until he re-
ceived further orders. After the doctor
left the steamer she weighed anchor and

Itwas at first given ont that the Mo-
rayia had a clean bill of health, and that
the doctor had been surprised at the
clean, healthy condition of the vessel.
The return of the steamer to the lower
bay created no surprise or suspicion, as
it was believed that the immigrant pas
sengers ON board were to be treated to a
bath at Hoffman island, and then landed
for fumigating the ship and their
clothes. When the facts began to gain
circulation there was panic among the
people who had fiocked down to the
shore to witness the operations of the
doctors on the vessels. The story was at
first discredited, but Talmadge soon con-
flrmed it. Those whose business did not

hurried away from the station.
Dr.Jenkins informed the people of
the Red Star line last night that cabin
passengers could be taken off the Fries
land when a. steamboat went down to
take them off. The custom house in
spector refused to let any of the passen-
gers take away their handbags, and
only seyenty-five of the passengers would
leave without them. The Friesland was
released and came up to the dock at Ho-
boken, where all her passengers were
landed The Italia was also released
after inspection, as her passengers did
not come from cholera infected port.
The White Star steamer Teutonic got
into quarantine, and will undergo O
close inspection before being allowed to
go to her dock. At the Office of the
Cunarders, cable dispatches were re-
ceived stating that all communication
with Hamburg had been stopped by the
Liverpool authorities.
A London dispatch says the people
of England generally are beginning to
be nervously apprehensive that, despite
the quarantine regulations, the country
is doomed to another siege of the chol-
era plague. Prof. j. o. Afiick, medical
examiner OF the university. of Edinburg,
has declared, in an article ON cholera,
that in general high temperature ia
vors development of the disease, but
that some of the most severe epidemics
known have ragged with the greatest
fury in winter. There is deep indigna-
tion at the authorities for permitting
passengers to land from the steamer
Peregrine, from Hamburg. These paee-
engers. after examination. were allowed
to land, with the result that they have
introduced cholera into Que of the most
densely populated quarters Of London.
