QUARANTINE, NEW YORK, sept. o-1n
some respects the news communicated by
DIR. Jenkins on his arrival from lower
quarantine was more reassuring than
since the much dreaded disease was re-
ceived in port. On board the Moravia
no fresh cases have shown up IN
the last three days. There are
now only three cases OF measles
on board the Normannia. The cabin pas
sengers were found all well, though very
discontinued at the long detention.
The disinfee:ed quarters of the stokers
were inspected, and DR.. jenkins decided
TO return some stokers and remove the
deckhands for disinfection. The doctor -
anxious to obtain a vessel to which he can
remove the saloon passengers for absolute
security. He is going TO telegraph the
secretary Of the navy and get him TO place
. ship at his service.
Three new cases were reported to the
doctor as the health officer stepped on the
deck of the Rugia. Jacob Grawer, 81 years
of age, was taken down during the night.
quickly followed by Joahns Jabloniker, %
years old. aud Katie Seifert. aged Is. all OF
the sree-age. The cabin passengers are
well and have settled down to their fate Of
long quarantine. determined to make the
best OF things generally.
On the Moravia no new cases have oc-
Cured, and as this was the third day DIR.
jenkins face was more cheerful looking,
and he expressed the opinion that the
cholera had been stamped out on board.
On Hoffman island, Heinrich Fretag.
aged 10; Franz Baumbach, Rudolph Euk
and Christian Peterson, all stokers of the
Normannia, who had been taken i'll
on shore, are dead. A steerage
passenger has also been taken i'll, and
s-year-old Gertrude Shorn is dead. Two
of the sick at Hoffman island were re-
moved during the afternoon TO Swinburne
island and two other cases Of sickness
placed in the emergency hospital at Hoff-
man island as cholera suspects. AT swim
burDe island there were no new
deaths. though Adelaide Merres. a nurse.
who was taken i'll yesterday. is much
worse.
The watchers on Staten Island say the
fires of the crematory retorts on Swim
burne island were burning fiercely last
night. From this it is judged that the
last victims of the scourge were reduced to
ashes during the midnight hours.
At upper quarantine the arrivals have
been the Persian Monarch, from London,
with IS cabin and e s,eerage passen-
gers; the Condor. from Glasgow, with
104 cabin and liS s.eerage on board;
bark Liberia from Sierra Leone, with six
teen passengers, and the steamer Orizaba,
from Mexico and Havana All are well
on board the ocean steamers, and as none
% them have arrived from infected ports
their detention is not likely to be attended.
t,h
moment, Is now being anxiousy
and has q large number of emf
grants on board, and is the only
likely steamer to arrive within
the next day with cholers on board. The
Joseph John, from Hamburg, may also
arrive at any moment. She is q tramp,
and is now out sixteen days. DR.. Jenkins
has informed the agents Of the Hamburg
Line that he had received notification that
althoughthe steamers oftheir line were sail
ing from Southampton they were getting
their provisions from Hamburg. If that
was the case, DIR. jenkins said, he would
detain them at quarantine for at least ten
days, notwithstanding the fact of their
not having sailed from an in-
fected port. The North German
Lloyd steamer Elbe. from Bremen, and
the Cashmere, from Naples, have
arrived. They have both large number
Of steerage passengers on board. Though
neither Bremen nor Naples is an infected
port very strict examination will be
made. Ii Hamburg provisions are on
board the first named she may have long
Quarantine.
Additional precautions against cholera
were instituted today. Henceforth the
police patrol boats will circle night and
day around the infected ships, cutting
them of altogether from communication
