One New Case on the Scandia-Ch ering
Reports Given Out.
New YORK, Sept. 14.-The storm was
still raging in the bay this morning, and
it was impossible to obtain any news
from the vessels at anchor. At late
hour last night DR.. Byron, on Swim
burne island, telegraphed DR.. Jenkins
that the surf was running high, and
that 1t was exceedingly dangerous to
put in small tugs for the usual tour
OF inepection. DIR. jenkins wired back
not tomake the attempt, which meant
that for a period of several hours, per-
haps day or two, all communication
would be cut off between the sick on the
infected vessels and the doctors on
Swinbarne and Hoffman islands, and
that those who might die during that
period on the ScandiA Rugia, Wyoming
or Moravia must remain on board.
DR.. Jenkins this evening received the
following telegram from DR.. Byron, Civ
ing the census for the day:
Admitted from the Scandia, one ad-
mitted from Hoffman island, August
Landi, 70 years old, from the Norman
MIA, died September 14th, at 2 a. M, of
senility; sick, convalescents, and sus-
pects, IA; transferred to the GONZALES
cling ward, five." ans
DrJenkins arose this morning much
refreshed, after his frst decent nights
rest, undisturbed by worry or being
awakened by midnight callers. The
news he gave out today ought to cheer
the Normannia cabin passengers. He
said he would most certainly release
them tomorrow. As regards the cabin
passengers of the Rugia, he would. if
nothing developed, transfer them TO the
New Hampshire, thence land them on
Fire island, as soon as accommodations
could be arranged.
The husband of one of the saloon pas
sengers on board the Rugia stated, to-
day, that his wife, in q letter to him,
steamer do not wish to be taken out of
the Rugia. They have entered protest
against being moved, being afraid of
going through the same experiences as
those of the Normannia. She says they
are all well, and not afraid of stopping
on the Rugia.
No arrangement has yet been made
for the transfer of the 20 cabin paseen-
gers of the Scandia, but Health Officer
Jenkins says he is considering the feasi-
bility of putting them on board the
Cepheus, and anchoring her in the lower
bay.
No cabin passengers will be landed
on Sandy Hook.
DR.. Jenkins said he was highly
gratified with the prospects the
cholera patients we're making toward
recovery, and the apparent check
which had been put on the foul
disease. He was not prepared to say
there was still no cause for alarm, as he
was not omnipotent, although he tries
to be omnipresent.
The tank steamer Heligoland, Captain
Donklage, which arrived last night from
Altoona, on the Elbe, little below Ham
burg, and is now anchored in the lower
bay. had two deaths aboard, among her
crew, from cholera.
The men who died on the Heligoland
were Michael Bolandies, after "a hours
sickness, and G. d. Heaffman, after 20
hours sickness. All are well on board
now.
DIR. Walser reports the following new
case on board the Scandia: Stoman
Ellitowitch, taken ill this morning.
The steamer Majestic with 507 cabin
passengers arrived today. All are we'll
on board, and left here at IA p. m. for
the dock.
The steamers Belgenland, Maasdam
and Diadem were released at II 35 a.. m.
The steamers RhineIand and Amalf
were released from quarantine this
| afternoon,
