Two patients , both adults , are recovering from the disease on board ship. Although she arrived last night the Mo ravia was not sent from the upper to tbo lower quarantine with the yellow flag Hying until almost noon today. She is now thcro from tbo eyes of the health authorities until every known moans Is employed In stamping out the dreaded plague. Dr. Jenkins Is hopeful that ho will bo able to kcop the cholera away from the city of Now York. Tonight bo is n very much worried man. Ho has ordered the transfer of the Mnravtu's passenger * to Hoffman island and will not only make a personal ex- nmtnatlon of the disease that Is aboard the ship , but ho will also confer with the health authorities of this city nnd consider ways and means to keep it from entering the city. More vessels will arrive from Hnmburir this week. It is probable that further deaths will be reported , nnd cases In their worst form , it Is now conceded , may arrive within thn next'fow days. The situation is serious. Unless all immi gration from infected ports is stopped , it Is not believed that this country Is safe , and it Is believed now that this step will bo taken. Arrival of thn Morit\li. : The German ship Moravia , which arrived ot 10 o'clock hist night from Hamburg , hud twenty-two deaths on bo.ird during the pas- Fapo. The ship's surgeon called Iho disease cholerine , but that is only another name for the dreaded Asiatic cholera. Dr. Jenkins said tbo results were serious and ho was fearful that more deaths would follow. On August IS , the Moravia sailed. On the following day the cholera broke out and the _ Jlritiioath took place within twenty-four hours. The disease spread rapidly among the ships 280 steerage passengers. There \voro \ no caMu passengers. The children suftcrcn most and by August 2S , the number of deaths had reached the total of twenty-two. Of thoio , two wore adult's nnd twenty children. They suffered much pain nnd their denttrk were these which orq peculiar to. cholera. The death list , was made up of thirteen natives of Poland , three natives of Hesse mid ono native ot Austnannd five of Prussia. They wc.ro all buried at sea. At the present tlmo there are three .cases of measles , nnd two women are recovering from Blight attacks of the disease. Thu en tire steerage comes from the Inteutod dis trict , and tonight Dr. Jenkins Is exceedingly otixious and worried over the outlooK. CurrltiKincHH Tlmt W'ui Criminal. The Moravia arrived last night at 10 o'clock , nnd , hlraugo to say. notwithstanding her ter rible record of deaths on the voyage , her cap tain passed through Sandy Hook , up the lower bay and tnrough the fleet of steam- Ehlps which were anchored off tbo boarding ' Station. She did not anchor tlicro , but moved up several hundred foot , north of the licet , within eight miles of the battery , mid there dropped her anchor. No word was sent ashore all night , nor did nny of the quarantine ofllcers board her. It was early this morning , when they started on their usual round to board vessels anchored in the stream , and the Moravia was the last ono which 1'hyslclnus Talmago nnd Sanborn drew up alongside. It was then nftor 10 o'clock ivid it was known that the Moravia was from an infected port. Shortly after 10 o'clock the little tug boat which docs service for Dr. Jenkins' staff letflhc Moravia's side and steamed for tbo bia Teutonic. In the meantime , a boat rowed by two men left the Moravia's side and pulled for the beach. When she reached the little wharf fronting the department station , "William Sauplno , an attache , hurriedly left herana , delivered a scaled envelope to Dr. Jenkins , who oponoil It and betrayed no In dications that there was anything wrong. Then tbo tug with Dr. Talmago aboard came Rshoro and there wns a conference with' the health onicots. At that tlmo , after leaving Dr. Jenkins , Dr. Talmago , who Inoked very much perturbed , asserted that there was nothing wrong with the Moravia , and that tvery one on board was enjoying good health , Kent Into Oii.inmllnc. Ho loft the quarantine wharf , and the lug headed for the plague-stricken craft. Apparently uctlng upon orders from Dr. Talmnge , which hud been given on the llrst Irip , there were signi * of activity aboard und the Immicrupts , as if expecting to bo landed , could bo seen hurrying up and aowu the dock looking in the direction of the Btuten Island shore , nnd occasionally waving if huts and handkerchiefs. Within live minute. nftor the Moravia wa boarded for the second time she had hoisted her anchor , got up steam and turned her bow In the direction of the ocean , She made u long detour around ho Hoot , hugjli g the f oiiL' Island shore and passing out of the Narrows for the lower buy shortly bolero noon. A plmso of the n.uo of the Moravia which deserves Invebtlgatlon and which buould be looked Into with thoroughness Is the action of thn captain of llo ; Muravla In continuing thu voruge to this country under the condi tions which prevailed on Ills t > hlp. If the V uucaao broke out on tbo duy > following his departure from Hamburg , why did he not , I hose connected with the n.uuroutlna depart ment ask , turn back home , Instead of bring ing the discaju in a now country. Viirlllullui ; Dr. Jenlilun. Tuoroprciontutlvo of the Associated Press received u massage from Now York at quur- untliio staling that it was stated that Dr. Jenkins pronounced the cases aboard the Moravia Asiatic cholera. Dr. Jcuklui was JutorvlowcJ mid declared that uo was not prepared at present to pronounce an opinion. The Moravia Is now anchored nt Gravcsond aay , between Pott Hamilton nnd Norton's lolnt , about 200 yards east of the main clmn- icl. She Is out of the way of passing vessels. She will bo Indefinitely detained , 1'ho passengers and craw , oven to the cabin joy , wilt bo landed on Hoffman Island , livery rag of clothing will bo disinfected nnd every person bathed , \Vbon the ship Is cleaned she will bo tlUtn- toctnd nnd the pD3acnierJ than put aboard nnd detained there for an indotinlta tlmo , being obliged to land on tbo Island daily for inspection and baths. Biiforo starting down the biy tloMth Offi cer Jenkins telegraphed Socrotnry of State Foster , notifying him of the twenty-two deaths from tbo so-catlod cholerine on board the Mornvla during her vnyaeo. There is some apprehension lost the cholera abroad will have n harmful effect upon the prospects of tbo World's fair so far ns foreign exhibits are concerned. Many of these were to como from districts which nro now infected with the scourge , nnd It might bo dangerous to ac cept goods sent hero under such circum stances. It hm bion ouqgostcd for this reason that It might bo well to postpone the exposition for another year. A New Smtrou of D.tncor. A now BUUITO of cmniror from cholera bas boon discovered by the health authorities whloh may render the present quarantine arrangement ineffectual , Thn danger lies in the fact that passengers of the steamers ar riving hero oat tbo food nnd drink the water that Is taken aboard at the foreign ports , both of which nro likely to be Infected with the germs of the disease. Under such cir cumstances a quarantine here of two or throe days would not bo a sulllclont safeguard against cholera. Tbo matter Is now being discussed by the Hoard of Health ami some UUUUll Will IJIUUUUIJT UU UUVUL luluuu U'uil. Cholerine Is thus described : There are cer tain premonitory symptoms , called by some authorities the first stage of thti dtseasn , to which the name of cholerine has boon given. Tbesn consist of a general fooling of iinaasl * ness , weakness , nausea , diarrhoea and some times vomiting. 'I ho ejections at llrst , though frequent , are natural. Cnolorlno Is usually caused by eating over ripe milt , and while It may'develop into Asiatic cholera it h not always a necossarv precursor of that dread disease. The quality of unsound food or rotten choose which must bo taken into tbo system to produce cholerine must bo large. It differs from cholera proper In that u single germ of Iho Astatic platruo Introduced Into the mlouinos takes n rapid course , and the whole mucous membrane in the course of a couple ot days is outcn away. Not Mirprlxi-d lit It Appi-nrunce. President \Vtlsjn ot the Health board today remarked that ho was not surprised that cnolcra had arrived. The city olnclals were prepuipd to fight. The island to which thn patients will bu aunt ha * not been nude pub lic iiltuough agreed upon by tbc Health board. As to the danger of the Infection of Croton water , ho said that nuisances uloug the watershed had- boon abated at much as possible and the only thing trat could be done now was to remove the houses along the banks of the river. But there were 25,000 of them and ho did not tlunir the schema practicable. The hoard today Issued n circular to all vessels , ferries , steamboat ofllce-i , factories , etc. , whcro u largo number of people are likely to meet , or are doing business In the waiting room and factories , to bet aside nn air tight room. These will ba temporary places of isolation , should cholera suddenly develop. , The- board bus nlso flttod up a ' 'dust proof-room. In which nactorologlcal exami nations will bo made. Convinced Tlmt It Is the Clioluni. There Is now no doubt that the twenty- two persons who died on tbo .steamer Mnnivia , which arrived here Tuesday night from Ham bur/ , tiled frani the dreaded dis ease Astatic cholera. The health officer of the port of Now York , Ur. Jenkins , practi cally madu that admission tonigtit when lia returned to quarantine after having spent the uftcrnnon on board the plaeuo stricken vessel. The first death occuired on the HHh. This la Dr. Jenkins' version of the Mor avia's condition : " 1 visited thu vessel and made a general inspentlon of the people. I found them all apparently WJll except the convalescent patients. Dr. Israel informed mo that most of the rases became ill a nhort tlmo after they sailed. Somu died in less than twenty-four hotlVs. ' The last deatn occurred on the 2Stb. Of the twenty- four people stricken twenty-two died. Dr. Bryan took some bedding "from ono of the routiH in which two patients were. This was somewhat soiled nnd ottered a/'nry good subject for examination. Elo will , hably know whether It contains cholera by tomor row. AH I started to leave the vessel I saw u tug bout with passengers on it who tried to board the Moravia. 1 put Dr. Sanborn on board the Moravia with Instructions to bhool auv one who attempted to bo rd her. " Dr. Jcnuins stated that the discharge of Iho patients was the watery discharge char acteristic of Asiatic cholera , and ho knew of no other dlseasn which haa this character istic. This statement was pretty conclusive evidence llrH Dr. Jenkins beliovbs thn dis ease to ba genuine cholera , hut ho did not wish to say so in as many words. rowin OF THU UUVIIINJIINT. AH Necessary .Mrnsttriu ( ; iui I'.o Tultcn teAt At old the Cholurti. WASHINGTON , D. U. , Aug. HI. [ Special Telegram to TIIK UKU. ] Ample power exists in the federal government to keep out per sons who are likely to bring in the dreaded cholera. Its policy is to co-operate with the state governments , but where a Btato it. negligent or ineftlclcnt tbo federal govern ment may slop In. This is the view taken by the attorney general and other member * of the ad ministration. s It has boon made known since tbo discovery of cholera on the Hamburg vessel Moravia. 'rho president cannot stop or turn back immigrants merely because they nro immi grants. As has been truly said , ho ins no power to suspend the Imir.lgratlou laws as such but bo lias the power to uoep out all persons who may ba suspected as Infected. The federal authorities who think this power may Imvo to bo exorcised scout the notion that It would be elTectlvo by simply applying to stcorago passengers. They point out that wherever an epidemic- may Htart its ravages are never limited to any particular class and the contagion muv be spread by first-class passengers from Europe Just as well ns by a steerage passenger. In all tno measures that have been taken this haa boon kepi in mind. Klclil .Mnuurt'H Muy Ho ltf < | iitrinl , The power to absolutely suspend ontrt.nco to tha United Slates when contagion or In fection is feared was exercised during [ 'resi dent Cleveland's administration. It Is found in the law paused Aptil 10 , 1673 , "i'o pre vent the Introduction of contau'ious or Infec tious diseases line thu United Slates. " This law In the Ural nluco emunmUes tlio atatJ quarantine ) regulations by uoclarlni : that vessels fiom Intsctcd ports or with Infected passengers shall not enter any part of the United StatCH contrary to quarantine ) luwnoT uny state. U also nays that the surgeon con- eialof the marlno hospital borvice under the direction of t lie secretary of ttiu treasury blmll frame tliu necessary regulations for carrying out tbo provisions of the net ( .ubjsut to the approval of thu president , further author tty U given to state or municipal authorities so that thuy muy net as oUlcers of the ua- tlouut quarantine system. Throughout tbo law bpcolal euro In liken that there shall bo no Interference ulth s'.uto laws , but the nb- toluto authority of the federal government is assorted by the terms of thu net. In October , 18SO , this country seemed threatened with bn infection of tbo smallpox from Canada. The authorities of Michigan and other state * along the border were un able to cope with it sln&lo banded. Prosl- dent Cleveland wus greatly exorcUen over the daut'or. Ho consulted members of the cabinet in regard to the powers which tbo national government bad nnd then sent for Surgeon Cicncrnl John B. Hamilton. Said President Cleveland : "Hamilton , what nro you going to do to kcop out the smallpox ) " The surgeon general replied : "If Secre tary Manning and yourself will approve I will draw up regulations and put enough federal Inspectors on the trains from Canada so that no person can bring the smallpox across the lino. " KuMly Avoided the Danger. The regulations were drawn up , were ap proved bv the secretary of the treasury nnd the president , federal inspectors In plenty worn put on the trains from Canada and in a few weeks the danger had disappeared. Tills precedent is valuable not only ns ostob- llshlng thn power of the federal government , but because many people think that there is more danger of cholera coming into the United States throuch.Canada from Montreal than through the great ports of Now York and Baltimore. Attorney General Miller , after a careful review of the law of 1873 this ovenlnir , reached the conclusion that It was really broad onougb to establish n complete na tional quarantine. Ho said : "It seems to me that there is nit the authority the president - idont needs. The net Is complete. Tha exorclso of Us powers during President Cleveland's administration is a precedent if one were needed. " While tbo authority of the national gov ernment is thus boheved to bo ample , it Is not tno policy of the government to unuor- IIIKO a national quarantine suporcoalng the state quarantine. It is boliovoa that the wiser plan is to encouraco the states to put forth every effort themselves , sup plementing nnd aiding them by the help of tbo federal government. U has been found that the state quarantine laws are for the most part very broad. The states Imvo the power to enforce quarantine regulations and they could easily make these rigid enough practically to put u ston to Im migration. The question ot their right to make nnd enforce quarantine laws came before - fore the supreme court at the October term in ISS. > and wus declared in favor of the power of the states. iiA.msuttti's AWI-UI. DUA.TII HATE. Dying l.lko Sheep with the Hot llurrllito .Scenes i\impltis : of Heroism , IlAMiiunn , Aug. Ul. There Is no question ing the fact that the present cholera cpl- domio is the worst that luu over visited this city , and every hour the situation becomes worse. People are dying off like shcop with the rot , and the plague is spreading. It was thought early ycstcrdav that tbo epidemic ! was ubatlne in virulence , as thu num ber of now cases nnd deaths reported for Monday were far below these for the day preceding. Unfortunately these hopes were not well founded. It was .only a temporary halt In the onward march of the plague. It Is now mar.hlng forward , mow ing down Its victims by spores. A fearful fooling of apprehension hangs over tbo whole city , and the belief that Iho authorities are helpless to light the scourge grows in Rttvngth Tbo people feel that they are hol [ > Ioss In the face of the fearful visitation that has coma on them , and many of them have given up hope of escaping the disease. This , In itself , is a calamity , for courage is one of the essential factors in fighting the epidemic. ' Unhuricd Dcatl. A representative of the Associated Press bas seen In military drill sheds the bodies of 11K ) UetlinsnwniUng burial. Owing to red tape it is Imposslblu to bury all 'the dead under the usual regulations , for tbo law re quires the production of papers of identifica tion before the body is consigned to the gravl1. Under ordinary -circumstances these papers nro easily orocurable , but now , when wbolo families have boon carried off bv tbo scoiuve , the greatest difficulty Is experi enced in getting these papers. Unless the frlchtful mortality abates it will bo necessary to shortly disregard the law and bury tha victims as rapidly as possi ble. Alrcadv it Is boliavod that infection has been spread by tbo dead , Blttor Impre cations are heaped upon the authorities for their ptghcadcdncs. } in letting victims Ho unburied to scatter contagion among the living while they hunted for papers to nhow tha ago , occupation , etc. , of the dead persons.

The ordinary form of burial will soon have to. bo abandoned and trenches filled with ( julcitllmo will have to bo resorted to. In nuiiy parts of tbo city tbo shops' of grocers , bakers and butchers bavo been closed by the police , as the owners and their salesmen have been stricken down while attending to business.

The arrival of the steamer Moravia at Now York from Hamburg today , afusr having had twenty- two deaths on board from cholerine , was a fruitful topic ot discussion this afternoon among the ofllclaU of the government charged with gu > mllng the nation's health. When shown the dispatch containing the news Assistant Secretary Spaulding said it showed how necessary ucd timely were the quarantine precautions taken.

Speaking of the suggestion that congress be called together to enact u law suspending Immigration , Mr. Spaulding said that the suspension of immigration would materially dccteaso the dungur , though it would bu possible for cholera to gut here oven then.
