Xt;w Vouk, Scjit. fl. The state of af
fairs in New York, so far as the threat
ened visitation i.l'cholcra is concerned, is
as tollows:
There is no scare feeling in this city, in
spite of the additional ilea; lis from chol
era on board the steamships detained at
qtiaranlir.c. The Health Hoard repre
sentatives, the health authorities and the
quarantine officials are working night
and day against any spread ol the
scourge to this city. The public at large,
while admitting tiiat the situation is
sei litis, is going about its business is
usual .
I 'isinlcctants arc having a large sale
and I lie people are cleaning their housis
and looking to their drainage with more
than usual care. This is done simply as
a matter of precaution.
The weather for the several days past
has been delightfully bracing, and this
has a gi :at iutlueiiee in calming the pub
lic mind and in leading everybody to
hope that the cholera cloud will not
hover over New York bay for any great
length of time.
The quarantine officials were greatly
relieved to find that there was not a
pest ship among the steamers arriving
at this port 'yesterday. These officials
arc over cxeitcil'andiverworked.as.it is,
any further strainuponthein. would
have hindered their uvefulncssto a con
siderable degree.
There is no doublthal the passengers
detained on board the so-called "pest
ships" are considerably alarmed and
they are in a decidedly unenviable posi
tion, but the clear cool weather, the
bright sunshine and the attention aid
to them by the ship's officers and the
health authorities of the jiort go far
to make their lot less hard to bear,
Ivvcrvd rop ot water used oil hoard the
detained steamers is boiled before be
ing used. Only hot food is jiartaken ol
and disinfectants are freely sprinkled
about the steamers. Thus a danger of a
spread of the disease on board of any ol
the quarantine boats is very small.
The panic amting the steerage passen
gers of the N'ormania yesterday as dc
seiibed by an eye witness was something
frightful. They cried out against being
confined in a pest ship, and the ladies on
board of the vessel were in a state of
terror. Their fears was relieved to a
certain extent, however, by their re
moval to Hoffman Island. The commis
sioners described the terror prevailing
amoi: the passengers as of a heart-rending
chr'.racter. There were some doubts
among the cabin passengers as to the
jiresenee of the dread disease on board
of the steamer, but the deaths and new
cases which occurred yesterday brought
terror to the bravest hearts on board of
the infected vessel.
iJi aiuxtim:, N. Y., Sept. I. The sit
uation at quarantine, as far asmy in
formation has been obtained, is jiracti
cally unchanged sini-c Dr. Jenkins re
turned from the Islands last night and
reported two additional deaths on the
Normannia, one on the Rugia and one
on the Moravia.
Or. Jenkins has sent a request to
Mayor Grant for six jiatrol officers who
will be stationed at quarantine and ar
rest any person or persons endeavoring
to communicate with vessels on the
lower bay. All the passengers in the
steerage oil the Normannia have been
transferred to llollniau Island where
they will remain under observation. Six
cases of cholera were transferred to the
liosnital on Swinbiiurne Island. This
leaves the Normannia with no sick on
board and with no steerage passengers
The Moravia has no sick, but has her
abiu and steerage passengers on board
No itcsh cases are likely to break out on
the Normannia now that her cmi
rants have been removed aud that their
quarters have been thoroughly fumi
gated. Steerage passengers on Hoffman
slantl are ol course liable to develop the
liscuse, but they will at once be trans-
rrcd to the hospital at Swinburne
land if taken sick.
