inspected and all found to be in good
health, except three children afflicted with
measles. The steamships Friesland, Cir

quarantine this morning. Anchor lines
Italia, with 2S7 steerage passengers, from
Genoa, arrived at quarantine last night.
The first and second passengers of the
Ciscassia were taken on last night and
brought TO the city. The steerage passen-
gers are to be taken to Hoffman Island to-
day and given bath. after which they Will
again be placed on the Circsssia and de-
tanned at the lower bar for several days.
DR.. Jenkins informed the people of the Red
Star line last night that cabin passengers
could be taken off the Friesland. When
the steam boat went down TO take them off
the custom house inspectors refused to let
any OF the passengers take away their
handbags, and only seventy five of the pas
eengers would leave without them.
The Friesand was released from Quaran-
tine this morning and came up to the dock
1T HoDoken. where all her passengers will
be landed. The Italia was also released af-
ter inspection, as her passengers did not
come from cholera infected ports. The

avia will be detained in the lower bay for
several days. Her passengers will be taken
TO Hoffman island for BATH while all bag

The health officers who made the inspec-
fioD of the Moravia's passengers pronounce
the cause OF death in the stricken cases as
true Asiatic cholera. All emigrants in the
steamship are being transferred to Hoff-

who first went aboard, learned Of the con-
ditlon Of affairs, and he personally inter-
viewed the ships physician AMI officers re-

surgeon of the Moravia declared twenty
two passengers on the ship had undoubt-

Immediately ordered the steamer of the
shore, giving Captain Thlele, her COM

turn of the steamer to the lower bay created
no surprise or suspicion. as it was believed
that the immigrant passengers on board

island. then landed for the fumigstion of
the ship and their clothing. 1t was not till
the afternoon when the facts began 10 gain
circulation. Then there was panic
among the people who had hocked down to
the shore to witness the operations of the
doctors on the vessels.
The story was at first discredited, but

ALL FROM HAMBURG.
The Morsyis's steerage passengers are
NIL from the cholera infected port of Ham
burg. and DR.. Jenkins is therefore certain
that the ships surgeons diagnosis of
cholerine is incorrect. He has made ar

twenty-five victims and will not pronounce

caused by the dreaded Asiaiic cholera until
the examination has been mpieted.

gestive way, ''that Asiatic cholera was
diagnosed as cholerine in all infected ports
by local authorities at the outset. but sub

such cases 10 be the actual and genuine
Asiatic plague"
THE OUTLOOK BAD.
