NEW YoRK,s SCARE OVER.
Not Case in the City-situation at Quar-.
nntine and Camp Low.


NEW York, Sep. 20. New York's i'll
born and ill supported cholera scare has
gasped its last gasp ard passed away
among the things to be forgotten. As
there never was any good reason for its
existence, it was at its strongest very
feeble creature, and its short life came
easily to an end with the announcement
that six days had passed since the publi-
cation of the first alleged case of cholera
in New York and not another case had
developed in all the city.
The quarantine steamer William B.
Fletcher, with 1865 immigrants, arrived
Rt Camp Low, on Sandy Hook, at 1880, ac-
companied by Second Officer Porgelius,
of the steamship Rugia, on which they
came across the ocean.
Thirteen of the Scandals passengers
also arrived
1t was pitiful sight to see the two
families that had left two of their dear
oues behind dead. Each male member of
the two families wore small piece of
black Grape on his hat.
General Hamilton has done everything
in his power TO make them comfortable,
and they seem to appreciate his actions.
The Hoffman Island authorities sent
the poor immigrants here without a
mouthful of food and it was impossible
to feed them Immediately, which caused
a great deal of excitement among them,
some crying out Justify for food while
others appealed to all with whom they
came in contact to give them something
to eat and drink.
Quite scene occurred between General
Hamilton and Second Officer Porgelius of
the Ruga.
Porgelius went among the immigrants
using foul and boisterous language to
| them, and when General Hamilton called
| him to account for it, he began in the
same way on the General. The General
grabbed him by the throat and used very
forcible language to him, which caused
him to subside.
The immigrants are loud in theiI
denunciations of the steamer people il
regard to the treatment they received.
Hoffman's Island is now deserted SO fal
| az immigrants are concerned. Gen
Hamilton says that by nightfall every
thing will be in good shape at Camp Low
At Quarantine this morning there il
no change for the worse, and DR.. jenkins
and his assistants are consequently happy
The yellow flag was run up from tn,
Scandia and Bohemia shortly before
noon. A case of sickness was reported
from each vessel, and the patients were a
once removed to Swinburne Island. DR.
Jenkins, when seen this morning, said
that he was not disposed to pay any at
tention to reports of bad treatment re
ceived by women at Hoffman Island un
til they were made personally to him
He doubted the truth of the reports, ant
said he had not heard of them before. HI
VIII, he said, inquire into the subject a
soon as possible.
DR.. Byron's daily report to DR.. Jenkin
is as follows:
CDR. Abbott is just back from the ships
He brings two bodies from the Scandal
Regina Geisloff, aged &C, who died @
heart failure, and Christine Oelson age
8, whose death resulted from mirasmus
and one new patient, Scholem Chazan
aged 10 years, from the Bohemia. Wit
this exception, all Of our patients are on
of danger, and the island will soon b
free from cholera patients.
