means that for a period of hours. or perhaps a
day or two, all communication is cut OF be-
tween the sick on the infected vessels and the
doctors on Swinburne and Hoffman islands.
Those who may die during that period on the
Scandia. Wyoming or Moravia must remain on

from New York last night to prevent escape.
This morning DIR. Voight reported the health of
the passengers excellent, there being only few
incidental troubles among the women aud
children. While there is some grumblfDg,
majority OF the passengers express satisfaction
with the accommodations. All opposition on
the part OF the bay men has disappeared. DIR.
Jenkins has telegrsphed that he will probably
release the Normannia's passengers tomorrow.
The Thirteenth regiment will remain at
Babylon to prevent any interference with the
landing oil passengers.
