This Is the limo when the watering places begin to re turn their crowds of sookow after fresh air nnd cool breezes to their wlntn- homes in the city , but today it Is safe to say the tolo- grnnh was freighted with anxious Injunctions to ubsont ones to remain away. The Hrst thought of tbo man whoso family Is in iho city is where to send them away from the germs of death , now apparently threatening His loved onos.

The tug touched there for a tninuto nnd then went to the bark Clydo Ulver , upon which HP IT was towed to the city. Whun ho WUH landed at the Battery bo went directly to his home. Pilot Kofi was Interviewed by a reporter , nnd this Is bis story : "I boarded the Moravia about 4 o'clocK Tuesday afternoon , Just off iho-llghlshlp. about forty miles out. As the vessel was so near port she , of course , required nil my at tention , I went upon the bridge nt once and did not leave It until wo came to anchor about 10 o'clock last nleht off quarantine. Then I went lo bod. "from the tlmo I went on board until I left the vessel I did not notlco anything un usual among lha oftlccrt , crow or passengers , except that the passengers seemed particu larly anxious to got on shore. I was told that there had bcon slcitncss on the voyage and a numbo.'of deaths. Tbo deaths wcro among the children. I did not think any thing of it nt the tlmo for nobody socmud to bo at all alarmed,0 Ignorant f the Sc.iro. "Was there any suspicion that there was cholera on board ! " "Not the slightest , so far as 1 know. I did not think there was cholera on board myself. Tbo ship did not lo.wo Hnmburg until August IS. At that tlmo , ns I understand , It was not known that Hamburg was Infected with cholera , or , in fact , tbnt ino duoaso had traveled outside of Hussla. " "Then the oftlcors , crow and passengers ot tbo Moravia had no knowledge ot iho spread of the disease und the great fear it has aroused on both sides of Iho Allan tic I" "Nono whatever. The first intimation they had was from the newspapers which I brought them on Tuesday aflcrnonn. " "Until then the suruoon had not tbo faint est idea that tboro might bo cboloru on board i'1 "Well , of course , I cannot speak of that positively , but I don't think ha had. I did not talk with the surgeon , so I don't know what ho thought about It. The general be lief was tnat thoio who died were suffering from cholera morons. I think that's what tho.troublo was. If iho people nn iho ship thought there was cholera noDaril , it seems lo mo that they would have acted In an en tirely different manner when they roaj In the papers about the cholera scare. The oUl cers seemed to bo Impressed with it. Up to that time I don't think the slightest anxiety wns folt. These on board could not under stand why the health ofllcers mido suon a commotion and why the bj.it was turned down the bay. The ofllcars and crow arUm- bled ns much as Ihupassengers. . No ono could understand what It all meant. " Anxious to Uct Ashore. "Woro thu passengers nt nil frightened ! " "No , I don't , think they were when I cot aboard , but they wore very anxious to got ashore. I don't suppose they will see the Bnltery inside of n week. " 'What was supposed to bo the cause of the sickness ! " "Obthe water , I suppose ; I don't Knowof course. It is not my ou'iinoss to know ubout tbcso things. I had ull I could do to got the ship into port. " "When did iho sickness br"ak out ! " "Wilbin a short tlmo after they loft porl , I was lold. " "Was Ihere much bieknejs on the Moravia when vou boarded her ! " "I don't know about that. 1 know that none of the crew was slcir. Ilulf the passen gers might oo in the ho'piUl and I might not know anything about It. " Tbo sanitary department will nsic that special harbor pollco bo appointed 10 patrol the bay with orders to shoot anyone attempt ing to board any quarantined vessel. It is believed this is aimed nt inquisitive ronortors. All the big transatlantic steamers scheduled to arrive loilay bavo been beard from. The health ofticers say all are clean , and Iho passengers - songors healthy. The steamers Labn and Uallla arooblecls of susuicioii , as many of their passengers are ltnown"tfha\ como through the infected localities.

The captain of Ihi Moravia went ashore on Staten Island last tjquu As soon as 3bo fact was discovered bo was ordered back to the vessel. Ho had not been iu contact with the Infected part of the ship and it is not uelleved nny trouble will remit. The Board of Health this morning ap pointed fifty special cholera inspectors. The department ot publlo works has issued orders for a full force of inspectors of nuisances in Iho Croton watershed to begin at once a thorough Inspection and patrol of nil streams , reservoirs , lakes and ponds tributary to Ibo city water supply. A sanitary Inspection of the steamer Lahn this mornlnc * showed all the- passengers In exceptionally good health. The capluln was Instructed to fumigate the vessel thoroughly and remain in quurantlno until given permis sion to leave.

The steamer Moravia was sent 10 the lower buy two miles south of Swmburn Island this morning. Dr. Sanbora reports there are no now cases on board. Tbo steamers Circassla and Teutonic loft Quarantine at 11 a. in. Tbo passonccrs on tno Moravia will bo given a batn tuts afternoon. The steamer will remain at the town quarantine until all traces ot the disouso ore removed. Tbo health oftlccrs profess not to expect a further outorcak on board , but from the fact that expert nurses have been called for to servo a month U seems certain they nro prepared for bucli a hapi > jn- ing. Dr. Jenkins this morning said ho wai not prepared to sav Iho disease on Ibo Moravia was truly Asiatic cholera until the examination of Ibo Infected clothing was completed. No one could say positively what thu disease was. Ho admitted there some symptoms such as uro not known to exist except In cases of the Asiatic scourge , and few doubt ills that. On Ibo Uallla the health oDluors found nine children suffering from measles and two with chicken pox. The oflU'ors iben went to the Clroaisla nnd Teutonic , mid finding Umt every precaution bad bcon taken allowed them to proceed to their docks.

' Tbo president mot Secretary of the Treasury Poster nnd Attorney General Miller , the only members ot the cabinet In the city , to consult with reference to the cholera situation. Assistant Secretary Spautdiuc nt the Treasury department and Dr. Wyman , surgeon general of the Marino hospital service , were also present. After on hour's deliberation It was de cided not to Issue n proclamation now , but to tssuo a special chcular. The circular will bo Usucd by the Treasury department. It will amount practically to a twenty days' quarantine of vessels , or longer If necessary. It will bo coupled with iho provision that It will bo enforced where not In controvcn- llon to stale laws. The Usuanco may bo delayed somewhat owing to the do- slro of tbo department to publish at the same tlmo the opinion of the attorney gocoral on the quoitlon of certain rights of the govern ment In the matter which It Is thought should accompany the circular. To Aid the yu.irnntlno DlUccrj. Tbo Treasury department will have the national quarunlino at the Delaware Break water and Oapo Charles , Virginia , furnished with revenue cutters to assist In preventing the Introduction of cholera by these routes. The condemned steamer Crawford at Cape Charles has been tilted up as a hospital to bo used In case of need. The twenty dayb' quarantine to bo de clared in the proposed circular will apply to vessels from ull ports , but , the sanilary oftl- cnrs will bo allowed to oxcrclso discretion In Iho cases ot llioio coming from noninfcclod norls wlin clear bills of heallh. The effect of tbo circular will be to dlscourago immi gration , as the steamship companies will not DO willing to lese money uy bringing ever immigrants aud supporting thorn so long In port. It will also bo a notice lo foreign governments that immigration for the pres ent is undesirable. The covernor of Michigan has tulograpbod to the secretary of the treasury askln r that an additional force of medical inspectors be de'alU'd along the state border to assist the immigrant inspectors already oji duty.
