Nr.w YORK , Sept. 1. Thorp is but one ab

Is Injected Into tho. homo circle and Into the
business lifo of every man , woman and child
capable ot reasoning , in the metropolis ? From
the savant to the gamin , the prooabllitios nnd
possibilities of Its earning a foothold In this
country bavo been discussed All admit the
danger , but some cover their fears with as-
lumcd indifference , ut the same tlmo care
A fully paruslng tbo numerous preventives
published In the papers and clipping from
them a copy to be taken homo and placed lu
the keeping of iho housewife with many In
junctions as to their observance. 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. While there U confidence In
the judgment and ability ot tbo hodlth ofil-
cers , New York seems smaller than usual to
many , and Ibo itilTlor of the country , away
from the Incoming plague ships , has attrac-
tlous for oven the most reckless.

President Wilson and Dr. Edson , tbo sani
tary superintendent have neon very busy
minting preparations for Ibo reception and
treatment of cholera patients. Arrange

bcon chosen , aud tboro remain only some
trivial maltnrs of dot nil to bo nrrangod.
Until they have been settled , the location of
the hoipilal will not bo made public.
Dr. Edson says ho bus no doubt that tbo
deaths on tha steamship Moravia wore
caused by cholera , but Dr. Jonklns and Prof.
Biggs were making u bacteriological examin
ation and Iho result would bo mude public ns
coon as concluded. Ho Bays positively tbat
there is not a cnso of cholera in this city.
_ 4'horo ! had been a number of suspicious

The pilot did not land nt quarantine. 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

thosaloon pissongors are returning lourists
from Europe who buvo passed through

ease.

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 Immigrants aboard will be
transferred to Hoffman Island for further in
spection. The Inspectors next wont on
board the steamer Gallia. which curried ! 3i3 :
cabin pabsongori and ! )30 ) ihlrd class. All
werofoundlo bo healthy. The Gallla will
ho detained unlll tomorrow or lonser.
Among her third class passengers are 275
Hussian Jews nnd forty Poles.
No Now Ciucs at ( Jiiiiniiitlno ,
QIUIUMIVB , N. Y. , Sept. 1. The condi
tions at Quarantine are unchanged
The steamers Yeesdam , Latin nnd
Uallla are all bore vol. No cases
of sickness uro reported yet. 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. '
A report from quarantine nt 3 jJ. in. states
tbut tbo results 'of Iho examination of the
soiled linen liken from iho Moravia's pus.
hPtipers failed to reveal the presence of
cholera bacteria.
No moru cholera ships expected until the

The Trcntnrjr Dopnrtniunt Tnlco Action
on tlio Cholrrn Situation.
WASIIINQTOV , D. C. , Sept. 1 , President
Harrison reached Washington this morning
nt 11 o'clock. ' 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.

STUTTI.V , Sept. 1. Hundreds ot Russian
Jews arrive bore oy sea from Momol , or by
rail from Kidikuhncn. On their arrival
here they nro quarantined on an Islhnd
under supervision of the medical authorities
unlll thosal'ingof ihostsamers for America.
Tnls quarantine is of llttlo value , however ,
as the emigrants are not detained nny Icncth
of time , but are huslled on board iho
steamers ns quickly as possible. The Uor-
man nuihorltesvnli to have us llttlo trouble
with thorn ns possible. Thus men may bo
sbippod off 10 America , after a single day's
quarantine. That many ot thorn como from
infected districts Is proved by the statement
of United Stales Consul Kcllojrg , who .told
tlio Associated Press correspondent that the
laststoaraor which sailed , AngustO , had quite
a number of uassungors from the Infcctod
districts aboard.
Dr. Barnum Sobuli , royal district physi

the correspondent that tno medical examin
ation which iho emigrants underwent was of
no actual value nnd was only carrlo.l out in
order to quiet the fears of iho Slottln bour-
ccolso. A man mlgbt come from iho Infected
disltlcts and not have the disease himself ,
but nnrry It along in his belongings. The
great danger was in Iho baggage tbnt comes
through unopened all the way from Russia ,
and unless thoroughly disinfcclcd upon ar
rival in Now York , u single chest or trunk
might form n Pandora's box , spreading the
dreaded dUoaso through America.

For Instance , on Monday a poor old lady was

gathered around the woman at a safe dis
tance , when suddenly a bricklayer , after
carefully wrapping a handkerchief around
his hand , soircd bold of the sufferer and
dragged her in n brutal manner to the
middle of tno street , where ho loft her , after
Blotting her prostrate form und telling her
in tbo vilest terms that he would stop her
from Infecting their houses. In the meantime -
time the woman's granddaughter , who was
present during the revolting scene and who
was crying bitterly , clasped the knees of n
man in the crowd and Implored him to have
pity , whan the wretch flung hor. with an oath ,
on top ot her unconscious grandmother , the
child being stunned by the fall. Both were
thus loft lylnir in the street until other per
