Niw YOIIK , Sopt. 2. Cholera has not y t
succeeded In passing the gates of quaran
tine. It has not even sought for admission
ulnco the plaguo-mfostod steamship Moravia
arrived to report the twenty-two deaths
which had occurred aboard her slnco she
ailed from Hamburg nnd the two convaloso- ,
ents among her 250 surviving passengers.
Tbo last roporls received from the
Moravia , anchored oft Hoffman Island ,
fctato that no now cases hart de
veloped among thn passengers and
that the convalescents were doing woll.
This would seem to bo good news enough for
the people ot this city for one day , but tboy
may further comfort themselves with the
assurance that the quarantine authorities ,
the local and state authorities , and oven tbo
national government , bavo all taken a band
lu the life nnd death game of keeping cholera
out. With rogulallons which nro Ironbound ,
und precautions which seem to cover every
nvenuo of danger , backed up by nn official
circular from Iho Treasury department
nguitifct further emigration from Infected
poris , tboro scorns to bo uo wariaut for a
"cbolora scare. "
Don't Go Crn y With Fenr.
"Of course , there Is danger to our people. "
said Health OHlcer Jinkins , "but that is no
reason why people should got unnecessarily
o'.urmod. An epidemic of cbolera mania is
the ucxt worst thing lo nn opidomtu of iho
disease Itself. The people , as represented by
the authorities , nro being protoclod by every
thing that medical sciunco and common
Eonso cun suggest. What more cnn bo donel
Lot them , then , simply go along with their
regular daily lives , observing , of course , the
precautionary advlc * Ihathns been so widely
disseminated b > tbc Board of Health , and
they can then rest assured that they hnvo
reduced tha danger of un opidcmic in the
city to an absolute minimum. "
This prucllcnl view of the situation was
supported by Ibe developments. At
Hoffman Island everything Is going
ou as smoothly as if the search
T6v cholera germs was iho regular business
of the place. Tbo process of cleansing nnd
disinfecting on the island Is complete. The
baggage-is run down a chute Into a disin
fecting room , where it remains for an hour
, and'a half under 2'JO > dogr6esof.sfoanrboat'B
The"doctors"bay there is no question that
thii will kill anv germ that may be lurking
iu clothing or clscwhcro.
All Hiiro to Take n Until.
The passengers all have to go Into the bath
compartments aud USD soap und water with
out stint. Tbo attendants'Bland by tosec
that they do this. As u rule they nro a dirty
lot , looking as If they had not hud a bath for
mouths , If over , la the main they take
good nulurcdly to the scrubbing. The
change made In their appearance by a liberal
use of soap and water is said to bo so great
that these who bavo been washed can hardly
bo recognized as part and parcel of these
who bavo not.
There Is no mixing up of the immigrants'
baggage. Each lot is put into a big sack before -
fore It goes into Iho fumigation room. When
It is lukou out It is restored to its original re-
ccptaclo. The immigrants themselves assist
largely in tbls work.
Tno method of taking care of Ibo immi
grants' valuables was ono that bothered
Superintendent Owens for a time. One man
wanted him to take care of fOOO whllo ha was
going through tbe cleansing mill. Mr. Owens
did not want to accept the responsibility.
Tbo dlfilcully was overcome by the utoam-
ship companies. Tboy send a man down lo
Hoffman "island to tauo care of the valuables ,
and ho gives the owners check * for them.
These valuables , money , jewelry , etc. , are
fumigated lu the same manner us the bag-
go go.

tnnlns , however , that bo put the gent off the

beds.Whllo the principal danger ot cholera u
from thu immigrants , tbolr clothing and
their baggueo , tboro is another potent
lourco of danger of Infection , and that is Iho
mails. This danger is Independent of and
uullko that which attends tbo admission of
Immigrants to the port , sluco while immi
grants all travel in the steerage , the Infected
malls may come ou u ship of tha finest class
which otherwlto would escape other than n
illght dotuntlou at quarantine , Tno
hands of tbo local postuftlco officials
MO tied so fur us Ibo mails are concerned.
They have uo authority to disinfect them or
lupervlio or to regulate tnolr disinfection ,
but they must depend onllreiy on tbo
methods employed by tha health officers at
quarantine who have absolute control alluaof
malls , passengers and freight. Thu New
York postonico aud tbo Postolllce depart
ment \YasbliiKton are both alive to iho
danger from this source and are moving

Bath Beach has bad the cholera scare
slnco Wednesday noon and visitors are
rauldly leaving iho place. Although a cool
breeze was blowing down Ibo bay Wnduos-
dar , the usual crowd of bathers gathered at
the shore. About u mile away a large steamer
was rocking ou tbo wares. Suddenly a
email vessel wns seen to run up to the steamer ,
and offer a few minutes a largo vollow
Hag was hoisted to the top of the mainmast
und tbo bathers at the nhoro uatchcd iho
maneuvers , not knowing whatliiuoani. They
asked some of ttiu permanent inhabitant ! Iti
meaning , nnd wcio horrified when they got
tbt > .information :
" 1 suppose u' 'kouo ship with the cholera
uloard. "
"Well , sir , " ono of the guests snld yortvr-
uay , "before you could count ihrou there
wus not a Luther in iho surf.'o later
leurned that our informant had told us the
truth and that the vessel was the Moravia.

Health Commlnluuer Qrlflla Is of the oplu *
Ion that tha fenrot thodlsonsoat Bath Beach
Is well founded. Owing to the prescnco of
*
the Moravia lu tbe lower bay Bath Beach Is
not n good place to bathonow , In connection
with this Mayor Boody yottordnr received
the following letter from Uo'onol ' Laugdon
from Fort Hamilton : "In 1850 the , yellow
fever wns communicated to tbo pcoplo of Day
Uldgo by ships anchored In Uravosend bay.
Now tbo Hamuurg steamer Moravia u being
disinfected in tha same place. For the sake
of the good pcoplo of Brooklyn got the ship
away , "
John V. Kane , president of the Gravosend
Board of Hcal'.b , called a meotlng of the
board yesterday to consider the matter of
anchoring steamers with cholera near Nor-
ton's rolnU Resolutions were adopted
directing Shore Inspector Ferguson to keep
the brnch clear of bedding und garbage.
Oravcscnd pullers and sewers and some of
the Couoy Island amusement halls will bo

Ono of the visitors at Bath Beach said yes-
tordnv : "Thufonrls Justltlcd. The people
don't know tbo danger they have bson exposed -
posed to I don't want to tnoreaso their
fcnr , butjujpo for yourself. The Morurln
arrived hero Tuesday night with thu disease
aboard , but It was not until Wednesday noon
that the first precautions agulnst the spread
of the epidemic were taken. For twelve
hours Infected refuse matter nnd other stuff
containing the germs of the dread disease
were probab.y , yes , oven surely , thrown
overboard. This stuff was naturally carried
to the shoio by the tldo. Hun
dreds of people were bathing In
the morning , not knowing that tbo breakers
they were enjoying were probably lllllng
their blood with particles which meant sure
death to them. Hundreds of poopla probably
have como In dlroct contact with the polluted
wator. and I shall bo very happy If It bad no
injurious Inlluanco on any of them.
Tried to Conceal the Plugiio.
"Hamburg authorities have not dUplayod
now traits lu their unwillingness , first , to
admit tbo prevalence of an epidemic lu their
city , and second , when the fact that it was
there could no longer bo concealed , to reveal
how extensive lu ravages were. That sort
of thing la nn old story with H-unhurt' . It Is
a business town , and the truth about epi
demics is Ilkoly to hurt trade. "
l dwurd Robinson , n lawyer of 170 Broad
way , who was the Unltod States consul In
Hamburg from 18 < 1'J ' to 1870 , told a reporter
something about the oxpsrloncos ho bad In
that city at a. tlmo when smallpox was epl-
demlo thero.
"From 1S71 to 1873 , " Mr. Robinson suid.
"wo had smallpox in Hamburg , nnd in an
cpldomlo form , yet tbo authorities used to
give alcan bills of health to departing ves
sels , as If tbo city were healthy. I did netlike
like that Idcn , and I had bills printed on yel
low paper , aud on them I put , 'Smallpox
Still Prevalent , " to the great disgust of the
authorities. Pressure was brought to bear
to makn me stop ropresintlng the case us it
was. They told mo that my bills of health
were causing trouble for Bteu-nors going to
American ports , but , of course , I continued
to give tv o warning. When news cnmo that
cases of oholerino had been found in Ham
burg , I said to myself , 'tho same old Ham
burgers ; they've eot cholera there but they
won't , admit ft. ' In a day or two dispatches
showed that cholera was there , and bad been
tuoro for some tlmo , und a little later there
ramo news that there hud been a tremendous
Increase In the number of oases.
Don't Want to Hurt Trade.
"Tbo fact Is that tradospooplo , above all
things , are unwilling to do anything which
may burt business. People talk of tbo
power of the American dollar on thU side of
thu ocean , out-lu my lima in Hamburg mark
bancos meant more there than dollars ever
did hero. It was the way of tbo authorities
to suppress anything rather than have the
risk of a rush nut of the place by wblch the
merchants might lose.
" 'Why don't you admit that the smallpox
Is beret' I used to asu them. 'It would hurt
us,1 was their answer.
"Senator Peterson , then In charae of the
health department of Hamburg and now
vhurgomaster. usked about 'the [ uarantnio
and other regulations in force in this country
to pro mil the spread of disease , and when
ho was told what tboy were ho said
frankly that such' a strict system could not
bo on forced'In that city. Their form of gay-
erumcnt gives tbo old mercantile families a
great power in the administration uf the
city's affairs. And the first thing they look
to Is the prcserration of their commercial In
terests. That counts ubovo everything with
thorn. "
City In Knit Shape.
Mr. Robinson said the condition of the
city wus now probably noi.o too good. After
the smallpox epidemic bad subsided , whllo
bo was there , uo particular improvement In
the suntturjr arrangements , which a post
might naturally suggest , had been made.
Besides , there came n tendency of the popu
lation to gather in big tenement buildings , a
number of small bouses which bad
accommodations for a number of families
being taken for other Uian residence
purposes.Velliodo families up to n very
recent period occupied separate houses , but
there bad been a cbango in this system aud
Hats had come to bo largely used. As for
tenements , thov ' were as bad as tboso in New
York.
CONFLICT OF AUrilUKITV.
Dr. JonkliiH Does Nut Iioak with rioamiro
on the Orders from \VunhiiiKton.
NEW YOIIK , Sopt. 2. There seems a prob
ability of n clash of authority urlsiuir be
tween the federal toynrnmonl and the state
authorities represented by Dr. Jenkins.
The recent order of tbo president forbids
any vessel carrying immigrants to outer port
until twenty days quarantine.
Dr. Jenkins said no would use his discre
tion about keeping a vessel In quarantine for
twenty days. If he saw nt , ho would quaran
tine a vessel more than twenty days , or less.
Ho claimed that bo had full authority , and
that tbo president's order could not affect
him , or causa him to do otburwlso than bU
Judgment induced him.
" 1 don't want to bo understood as defying
the chief executive , " said Dr. Jenkins. "I
snail do all in my power to assist the national
authorities to keep cholera from entering tbo
country , but I certainly think I have iho
right by virtue of lha authority delegated tome
mo as health ofllccr of tbls port , to decide on
the number of days that a ship shall bo kept
nt quarantine. I rcalko my responsibility
with reference to the city of New York Just
as much as the president realizes hU rospon-
flblllty to iho country. Conditions might bo
such tint a quarantined vessel could nufolv
bo released m live days , and again If disease
kept breeding , she mlk-lit bo detained a
your. "
Federal rower Will I'rovull ,
Collector tlendilcks said bo did not think
Dr. Jenkins would bring nn a conflict be
tween the federal and stiuu authorities. If
such a thing should arise the fcdural power
would prevail. No vessel can land past-
en ors or cargo until tbo vessel u entered at
tbo custom house , autl'Collector Ilondncks
will act according to instructions of the
Washington authorltlor.
The first , symptom * f tbe overriding of Dr.
Jenkins' orders wns wbon the custom house
ankers were withdrawn from the steamer
City of Berlin shortly after bar arrival In the
early afternoon , Tha withdrawal of the fed
eral oflluor * naturally prevented the declara
tions of the cabin passengers being made , nil
of whom Dr. Jenkins had intended should bo

these of thu Ltibu ou previous days. There

bristling with particles of gold. Dauy
Is a prospector and claims to
bavo found the celebrated "Lost Cabin"

romantic has been written and printed In
every modern language. His story Is that
two weeks ueo , while bunting in iho western

what bo nt Jlrit supposed was a small rave ,
but which , upon subsequent Investigation ,
proved to be a room 20x0 : ! foot
and of an average -heiL-hth of seven feet ,
rudely hewn out of solid rock by human
bunds.
This .room ho first discovered to contain
the skeleton of a human being which , excit
ing his curiosity , induced a search that was
rewarded by Hndlng geld nuggets of an ug-
grogalo vuluo of $2.r,000. The place was
many miles from settlement and bo remained

claims to have found It and states
the ere bo has was taken from It. The
fact that Dany had so much gold with him
lands plausibility to the story , which Is ere-

catuo numerous prospecting parlies to start
