THlaTY-TWO DEATHS.

Another Piasue-stricken Steamship Ar
rives at New York-Fhc Scandal. from
Hamburg. Has a Record of Thirty
two Deaths En- Route-Severai Cases Of
Prostitution May Add to the List-Six
Hamburg ships Now at Quarantine.
QUARANTINE, Staten Island, Sept. TO-
Fear and unrest is plainly written on
the face of Health Officer Jenkins and
his deputy assistants this morning,
caused by the anticipated arrival of the
Nieiand from Hamburg which dropped
anchor in the lower bay at an early
hour this morning; but this feeling OF
suspense was to some extent allayed
when the health officials boarded the
ship and, after a most careful investi-
CATION of every one of the rs. cabin
passengers aboard. reported them in
excellent health.
This statement was doubt by many
persons because of the fact that the
Wieland was one of the latest depar-
lures from the infected port of Ham
burg, but subsequent official reports
confirmed the news that the ship was
free from the pest.
The official record of the day was
three deaths and four new cases.
Deaths on the Wyoming-Elias Phe-
rar Percer, aged 8, and Victoria Elry
Percer. aged six months
On the Nornannia-Carl Blossom
New cases on the Wyoming--Two
Russian children, whose names could
not be learned. and also the mother of
the Percer children. Adolph Weiss. aged
Il, one OF the crew, removed to Swim
burne island.
The exact cause of the death of the
two Percer children. Who are Swedes,
was mooted question during the day,
and no accurate information could be
obtained in regard to the events that
lead up to their demise. DR.. jenkins
in making the official announcement of
the deaths, said that they were smoth-
cred, and ridiculcd the statement that
they were victims of the scourge He
subsequently said that the children
died from natural causes and as
serted that there were no symp-
toms indicating cholera. The mother
of the children was also taken with I'M
mistakable signs of the pest, as were
also the two Russian children whose
cases the physicians diagnosed as
diarrhea. Not being sure that this
was correct and desiring to run no
risk, DIR. Jenkins ordered the Wyom-
ing which had been lying in upper
quarantine to the lower blv.
