gust "a, with 5OS passengers; the North

emigrants. The health officer boarded
the three steamers at quarantine, where
they were detained, and, after making q
careful examination, reported all on
board we'll. The health officer gave per-
mission to land the cabin passengers OF
the steamer Fulda today, and they were
transferred to steamer, which brought
them to the city. On the Darmstadr a
child died on the voyage, from infiam-
nation OF the lungs, and was buried at

CHoLERA's NEW VICTIMS.
DR.. Jenkins, accompanied by Quaran-
tine Commissioner Allen and Professor
Biggs, went to lower quarantine this
morning, and on their return it was
learned that cholera claimed number

ing the day. The startling fact was
made public that three deaths occurred
on board the Normannia, two on the
Moravia and one on the Rugia. All the
dead were taken to Swinburn island and
cremated.
It was also ascertained that Hix cases
of the disease we're sent to Swinburne
island today.
PANIC sTRIkEN PASSENGERS.
The steerage passengers of the steamer
Normannia have been transferred to
Hoffman island. The panic among
them today is described by an eye-wit-
ness as something frightful. They cried
out against being confined in the pest
ship, and the women on board the vessel
were in the greatest terror. Their fears
were relieved to a certain extent, how
ever, by the removal to Hoffman island.
The commissioners describe the terror
prevailing among the passengers as OF
heart-rending character.
There were some doubts among the
cabin passengers aH to the presence OF
the dread disease on board the steamer,
but the deaths and new cases which oc-
Cured today brought terror to the brav-
est hearts on board the infected vessel,
and now all fully recognize that the
grim specter Of cholera is really in their
midst. w ea
