 QUARANTINE, Sep. 14.-Viewed from the Health Officers official residence this morning the cholera scare is not the pleasant picture of progress in stamping out the disease which has existed for the past few days. The report that actual cases of Asiatic cholera have existed in New York the last week, in spite of the daily official bulletins to the contrary, spreads a wet blanket over the doctors keeping the scourge from passing the ocean gateway.
 The flash of diseouragement which spread OCT the face of the Health Officer when told of the official admission made by the New York Board of Health yes- terday afternoon was certainly natural, while his instant exclamation: q don't believe it got in by quarantine" simply voiced the belief of all who have been stationed here and watched the en force ment of quarantine regulations.
 This is the list of deaths to date in the order in which they are said to have oc- cured:
 Charles McAvoy, died Sep. at s79 10th avenue.
 Sophia Wigman, died Sep. 10 at 76s 11th avenue.
 William Wigman, died two days after his wife.
 Charlotte Beck, died Sep. IS at 1,764 2d avenue.
 Minnie Levinger, died Sep. Ii at All East 46th street.
 All these deaths were reported to the Board of Health and investigated with the utmost care. All of them were of a suspicious character.
 Nothing but the decision of the micro scope was needed to complete the diagnos- is of Asiatic cholera, and that diagnosis Prof. Biggs has now made.
 He communicated his decision to the summoned President Martin of the Police Board. After consultation behind closed doors the cholera wa announced. Two physicians of Dr. Moreau Morris's staff are on duty in each of the infected | houses. Their orders are never to leave | the house. One physician must always be there.
 Medical Commissioner of the Health Board, Dr. Bryant, said to-day:
 'I do not think that the disease will be- come epidemic. This, "he says, lis almost assured from the fact that no suspicious cases have occurred since Wednesday," "There seems to be but little danger" |" said he, ''so far, and the public need not be alarmed. Every precaution has been taken by the Board of Health to combat and crush the'disease wherever it may ap- l pear"
 Dr. Edson of the Bureau of Contagious Diseases is also of the opinion that there | will be no cholera epidemic here. | II think its spread will be less than l typhus fever" said he. "As to where the cholera came from that is the question we are trying to solve. It is in the city, and it must have come from some out side source. It must have passed some quarantine. I think within 24 hours we I will have run down the direction from \ which the disease came. There may be | cases of sporadic cholera over the city, but I think the disease will be speedily over come"
 The Chamber of Commerce up to 9 o'clock a. m., reported that Treasurer J. Pierpont Morgan had secured $92, ,23O in subscriptions to the Quarantine Emergency Fund. g
 The details of the day here have been few but important, viz: The arrival of the tank steamers Heligoland, reporting two deaths at sea; a new case on the Scandia; the arrival of the State of Neva- da from Glasgow, the first ship amenable to the 20-day rule of the Treasury circu- lar, and Dr. Jenkins statement that in spite of cholera cases in the city there will be no dimimution in the stringency of lat. Al dents of yesterday.
 To-day the transfer service which beg an with taking the Normannia's cabin pas \ sengers to Fire Island is being continue q in earnest. The Rugia's cabin people will be placed on the New Hampshire, and the Wyoming's cabin will be taken to Fire Island. If Camp Low is ready before night the steerage people of the Norman mia, who have long been on Hoffman Isl and, will be moved there as will also those son the Moravia, from whom en- l,couraging reports have been received daily of late. :. The Normannia's cabin baggage which is partly on the ship and partly on the Stoningto will be thoroughly disinfec- ted to-day and sent to town as quickly as possible. Steamer Wieland of the Ham. burg line will be released to-day, while the ill-starved Normannia will be moved  go will be discharged into lighters. Ii is the Health Officers present intention not to allow the Hamburg express steamer to go to her dock.
 Dr. Jenkins statement that he will re lease the Normannia's passengers now 6, the Surf Hotel on Fire Island some time to-day has thrown the unfortunat, people into wild state of joyful expec tancy, and if anything should happen that this promise could not be fulfilled n the disappointment could very likely b, better imagined than described.
 The unwilling guests of the hotel ar, making the best of their situation, bu they are anxious to get away and nothing less can cheer up their dropping spirits.
 The sufferings of the last night ana day on board the Cepheus will live for ever in the memories of those on board 0 her.
