TROUBLE ON THE WIELAND.
The Hamburg-American line steamship
Wieland, Captain karlowa, from Ham
burg, which arrived in Lower Quaran-
tine soon after seven O'Clock. had her
yellow flag hoisted, indicating that
she has sickness, If not cholera, aboard, },
and, 1t is feared, she has some cases of
The sc0urge.
The Wieland is not one of the first-class
steamers OF the Hamburg-Ameriean lines
but is a vessel of about the same size and,
build as the Rugia. The Wieland. like
the Rugla, carries both cabin and steer
age passengers, and no doubt has her
usual full complement of the latter.
The yellow flag has also been hoisted
this morning ON the infected steamers
Normannia and Rugia, and it is eviden
that there is more sickness aboard of
them. The fellow flag OF the Moravia
has not been hoisJed this morning, so it is
thought there have been no fresh out
breaks of disease aboard this vessel.
When the White Star Line steamer
Britannia, from Liverpool, passed in at
eight O clock this morning, she set the
following signal;-"Report me all well, !"
The british steamer Joseph John.
which left Hamburg August 20, passed
Sandy Hook for New York at s 20 o'clock
this morning. This vessel registers but
1867 tons, and is thought TO have no i'm
migrants on board.
At fifteen minutes past ten DR.. Wanser
| accompanied by woman's nurse, wen
to inspact the Wieland.
FOUR MORE DEAD
The death roll from the cholera-infected
ships bears four new names this morning
| the victims having succumbed Yesterday
| on Swim burne Island.
Ten new cases of the disease were also
sent to Swinhurne Island yesterday, along
| with eight suspects"
Two of those who died yesterday were
| steerage passengers on the Rugia, one was
teerage passenger on the Normannia,
| and the fourth was a member of the Nor
| mammals crew.
| The crew of the latter ship furnished
six of the new cases taken to the island
They were stricken on hoard the vessel.
| Another was a steerage passenger on that
ship, while the remaining three were
| steerage passengers on the Rugia.
| No cabin passengers on either the Nor
MAMMA or Rugia.
Three DAYS having gone by without fur
ther outbreak on the Moravia, it is hoped
that the scourge has been gotten under
| control on that ship.
SUMMING UP,
| The grand total of cholera cases de-
| veloped on the three ships since their ar
| rival in this harbor now foots up forty
two, of which twelve have already proven
fatal. All told, the deaths from cholera
| of the three ships since the date of the
! Moravia's sailing from Hamburg number
| forty-siX up to nine O'Clock last night.
| None of the patients taken to the hospi-
tails on Swinburne Island has as yet been
discharged Cured" or the ''sus-
pects," or persons who have been
brought in immediate contact with
those stricken by the disease, there
are f1ftv-one now isolated at Swinburne
| Island. This isolation DR.. Jenkins re-
| CARDS as one OF the most effective precau-
| tions against the spread of contagion.
| The suspects" are confined in a building
| separate from all the rest on the Island.
