But No Deaths at New York Quarantine
Several of the Normannia's Crew Are
stricken-Depew Not Allowed to Get
of-Dancing on Board.
NEW YORK, Sept 7.-[Speadl 1-For the
6rst time since last Saturday cholera
claimed no victims in the lower bay to-day,
and all of the patients at Swinburne Island,
ofwhom there are now about "a, were hold
ing their own.
Ten new cases of the disease developed
aboard the Normannia and the Rugia, how
ever, and the new patients were removed to
Swinburne Island as soon as quarantine
tug could be obtained
The scourge is spreading rapidly among
the crew of the Normannia Eight of to-
days new patients were members of the
Normannia's crew, and the other two were
stevrage passengers on the Rugia- This is
to-day's record of new cases:
Normannia-Max Gehrman, "a years old;
stanislaus Knaus, 26 years old; Richard
Ficher, "a years old; Franz Gent, 81 years
old; Julius Polurz, 30 years old; Wilhelm
Rennenbeg, 80 years old; Carl Borandt, "a
years old.
Rugia-Katherine Tesarowa, % years old;
Drake Kaperan, Is years old.
The nurse on Swinburne Island, Ade-
laide Merries, who was taken i'll Monday,
was reported as very much better tonight
The surgeons on board the pest ships have
been instructed to prepare a history of
every case on board since sailing from
Hamburg, and the physicians on Hoffman
and Swinburne Islands must do the same
with all cases which come under their
charge.
Cold Baths Causing Disorders.
There was no delay in removing those
of the Normannia's crew who were stricken
down. The cholera symptoms broke out
short time after the crew had been returned
to the ship from Hoffman Island, where
they were thoroughly bathed and dlsin-
fected.
One of the health officers suggested that
the cold bath which the men had to un-
dergo might be responsible for the severe
attacks of diarrhoea which were noticed
almost simultaneously in the cases of
the patients.
There was a bigger array of ships than
ever in the Narrows to-day, q in all riding
at anchor at sunrise. During the day the
Darmstadt, the Brilliant, the Persian Mon
arch, the Massachusetts, and the Vene-
zuela, which had been held since Tuesday.
were released, but as many more came in to
take their places and crowd the bay off
Quarantine. The big Inman liner, City of
New York, was at Quarantine at II o'clock
with no serioks illness among her /, 139 pas
sengers.
Depew Not Allowed TO Get OF.
This afternoon DR.. Depew, on the City
of New York, sent his compliments to DR..
Jenkins, and regretted that the Health Off
Ger had not been able to board the Inman
liner in person. This message was received
by DR.. Jenkins Just as he was about to leave
On his daily trip down the bay. He replied
by the following messagei 'Present my
compliments to DR.. Depew and my regrets
that 1 must detain him and the ship until
tomorrow at least"
Secretary of the Treasury Foster, whose
wife and daughter are on the City of New
York, went alongside the steamship in the
Revenue Cutter Grant and greeted his fam
lily from her side. He had a permit from
DR.. Jenkins to go aboard, but he did not
use it and returned to the city. The City
of New York will probably be released to-
morrow, with La Bourgogne, whose passen-
gers have now been held since Sunday

shore.
Tomorrow the Hamburg boat Scandia.
which sailed August 2S, is due. She car |

age, and is the last but one of the Hamburg |
ships which sailed with immigrants aboard. |
The Bohemia is the last. The Wieland. |
which is due Saturday, carries no steerage |
passengers
No Extra Vessel Can Be Found
General Passenger Agent Boos, of the
Hamburg American Steamship Company,
said to-day that he had a conference with
DR.. Jenkins about transferring the cabin
passengers of the Normannia to some other
vessel. 1t was found impossible to get any
vessel sufficiently large to accomm odate the
passengers.
