health officer OF the port, DR.. Jenkins, and
President Martin of the board Of police.
The board appointed fifty special cholera
inspectors. Forty-five Of that number had
been members Of the corps of summer ply
siclans The construction committee of the
aqueduct commission passed a resolution
yesterday calling upon the, chief engineer
OF the commission to cause an immediate
examination to be made of all sources Of
water supply and to take the necessary
steps to abate any nuisance which may be
found. The mayor has received a letter
from the acting commissioner of street
cleaning, Mr.. Dalton, saying that orders
have been issued to the officers Of his de-
partment to be extraordinarily vigilant aud
attentive to their duties, that additional
men had been placed in the thickly popu-
lated parts Of the city. and that sweepngs
were removed several times day and the
cutters flushed with water. Disinfeotants
were being used at the dumps, and nothing
would be left undone to keep every man in
the department up 60 his work.
THE ORDER TO SHOOT.
A physician Of the health department to-
day said to a reporter: "Yes, the order for
DIR. Sanborn to shoot any man who attempts
to board the Moravia is in dead earnest and
you can depend upon 1t that it will be car
ried out. There will be no trlfing hereafter
with the regulations. Hamburg is now the
port from which the most danger is antioi-
pated. The clearauoes there in year are
larger than they are here in New
York, and this will give you some
idea OF the magnitude Of the
shipping interest over there. Its quaran-
tine system is not nearly as perfect as Bre-
mems. The latter port is much better pro-
tected than any other continental port that
know of. The quarantine regulations of
the English ports are lax, but not as bad as
in the maritime provinces of England.
To England's oarelessness in this respect
may be attributed the outbreaks there.
Hamburg clears upward Of 1900 vessels a
year The danger will exist in their car
goes Of rags, skins etc., which we will have
to scrutinize and fumigate for a long time
TO come. The commercial loss to shippers
and steamship companies will amount to
millions Of dollars before this business is
over. The cost to the owner OF the Moravia
for quarantine services will make the
profits of the voyage fade away like mist"
NO MORE NEW CASES.

Line management has decided TO carry only

the captain of the Moravia landed on Staten
Island as reported" Vessels laden with rags
are tied up IN New York Boston and Phil
delphia and is is likely that freight steam
ers will find considerable trouble in store
for them. The quarantine officials are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of a num-
Der Of European steamers now on their way
here. About twenty Of them are due In the
next ak days.
SUSPICIOUS CASE.
New YoRK, Sept. l, IL 80 P. M.-Capt
Gross, of the police, reported tonight that

house and told Capt. Cross that the man
