Oficers-The Plague Abroad.

New York. Sept. 29.-Thc health board
this morning reports no cholera III thiS
city. Last night there were two sus-
picous deaths from symptoms resembling
those of cholera. They are being investi-
gated, but as DR.. Wilson, the chief OF the

turn out to have been caused by acute
cholera mCrbus.

Atlantic steamers lie off the upper quar-
antine station to-day, the Cunarder Gal
liza from Liverpool, the White Cross

o'clock and sailed for Baltimore, the
port for which she was originally des-
tined All her passengers. who have
been on Hoffman Island for the past
ten days or more. were to-day landed at

prOnOunces her to be now the cleaneSt
ship in the harbor. will enable him to
avoid detention at Chesapeake bay.
All reports from the detained ships
at the upper and lower quarantine sta
tiOns are favorable to-day. and with Fire
Island and Camp Low depopulated, and
the last OF the Scandals passengers re-
leased from Hoffman Island, the cholera
may be said to be stamped out. The
only Infected ship left in the lower bay
is the Bohemia, the last vessel to arrive
with cholera. Her Steerage passengers
were transferred to Hoffman Island to-
day. and the ship was disinfected more
thoroughly than was possible while the
