Newly infected steamships arrived in this
harbor today with awful stories of death
nnd suffering. They were the Rugla and
Normanla , both from Hamburg. The Rugla
burled live itoorago passengers nt sea and
bad live living cholera patients still on board
when ebo cast anchor. The Normanla burled
four steerage passengers nnd ouo cabin pas
senger. She bad four patients still alive ,
ono being a member of tbo crow. It is
claimed that tbo cabin passenger who died
on the Normanla was suffering from dlubctis

Health Officer Jenkins Immediately ordered
bMh sbipts to the lower bay as soon as thq
oiptulns of the vessels had notlllod him of
tbo co idition of ait urs.
i'ho Normanulo sailed from Hamburg on
August 0 and touched at Southampton on
bor way to this port. She carried 2W ( first
class and 22J second class passengers. Her
steerage passougors wore 48) in number.
Tbo first death on board tbo Normannla oc
curred on August 29. Carl Herbert , 157 years
of ago , a bccoud class passenger , had boon
taken down with a disouso which the ship's
physician diagnosed as cholera. A similar
case was discovered about tbo same time in
the sloorugo of Otiln Harm , a child 11 mouths
of age ,
The DUenso Developed Iliipldly.
The cholera symptoms developed rapidly
in both cases and loft no doubt in the mind
of the ship's tfurcoon as to the nature of the
disease. When Herbert's death , on August
29 , was followed by the death of the other
patient , tbo child in the steerage , on August
21) ) , the authorities of the ship recognized the
serious condition of affairs. Tnoy at once
took all possible precautions to prevent tbo
disease from spreading among tbo olbor pas
sengers on board the vessel. Notwithstand
ing their efforts several other illnesses of
line nature were soon dUcovarud. Tbo sur
geon touU Radical measuros. Ho carefully
Isolated all the patients and personally saw
that thu utmost euro was exorcised by the
persons In nursing to avoid communicating
tbo dlscasa to others ,
There was great alarm among the passen
gers when tboy learned that the dread dis-
case had appeared on board the vossol. Tbo
captain did his bet to ullay the fours of the
cabin passengers by assuring thorn that ovorv
effort would bo mndo to keep the disouso from
spreading , and urged thorn to give him every
assistance- tbolv power to bring about that
result. Then ho turned bis attention to the
Btcerogc , where the greatest danger of the
uiicaso spreading was apprehended.
I'usnenuers I'anle Strlnkon ,
The ignorant stccrago passengers were
completely panlc-strickor. upon learning that
cholera had appeared umoug them. Tboy
lost their beads entirely , nnd appeared to bo
iucapublo ot helping tbomsclvns * | n the
Blightcst respect. Tuo caytaln and tin sur-
( 'oon ordered a careful watch to bo kept over
the stccrago passenger * in order that they
did not heedlessly run Into danger of catch
ing the disease. Iu aplto of all precautions
moro cases soon developed. Nearly ail were
ullko. Five moro were taken ill in tbo
tooraio , four of thorn being children
Adoluh Scholtr , 1 year old ; VVIllio Harm ,
Uycar * old ; Uudolph Hernlsh , 11 months
old , and Selma Horn , 5 yean old , Tbo chol-
vra symptoms developed rapidly in these
cases , as it did iu tbo previous 01101 , and in
each case the diagnosis of tbo surgeon
Hhowcd tbo disease to be what bo termed
cholerine. Willie Harm rapidly grow worse ,
ttnd illcd on September I. On the sumo day
luoro Declined u dealu among thu Unit cabin
nimongers ; Jacob Hcgornnnn , 45 years ot
tgo , bad fallen ill with n severe form of
dlartbau. Indications led iho ship physi
cian to dlignosa bis case as diabetes. All
Lhoromodlos known were administered to
tlogcmatm. but tney were of no avail.
Other Clinch Appear.
There was no further appearance of any
thing resembling cholera among the first
cabin passengers after the death of I logo-
maun , but another death occurred in the
stccragn from cholerine on the following day.
The patient who dlod was the child , Adolun
Scnoltz. Thu cholera symptoms in his case
were particularly marked.
Two moro cases broke out on board the
ship. Morris Bonholsor , n steerage passen
ger , 69 years of ngo , showed symptoms of
cholerine and was promptly isolated. Ono
of the crow also , Honnch Frank Holsor , was
taken ill with the diioaio. All the casoi
were attended to as soon as their existence
was known , and the appearance of iho chol
era symptons resulted in tbotr being
promptly isolated.
No further deaths occurred on the voyago.
All who had been taken down with the dis
ease , howcuor , were still kept isolated when
the jNormannia arrived at ibis port early
this morning.
Lou or the I'luguo Ship Jtiiglii.
'Jho Utigltt , the other pest shipof the Ham
burg-American Packet company , which ar
rived in port today with cholera , loft Ham
burg on August 21. She had 423 stcerago
passengers on board. She touched nt
Southampton on her way over. The first
death occurred n week utter leaving port.
Karl Kocuic , 39 years ot age , and Bertha
Kootilg of the same age , were tauon ill about
tbo same time. They both dlod on August
23. The sy mptorn * of their illness were alike
and were such tbnt the ship's surgeon Im
mediately pronounced ibo disease to bo
cholerine.
Captain Lctlhhauscr , the commander of
the Hugla and the surgeon did everything to
provynt tbo spread of the disease , but tbo
Ignorance nnd recklessness of the steerage
passengers made their efforts of no avail.
Other cases of Illness of a similar Kind soon
appeared , and seven moro passengers were
taken down with the disease.
Elmo Pogaskl , 27 years old ; Paul ICocnlg ,
9 years old ; Johanna Bust , aged 54 ; Aurlcn
Paters , aged U2 aud Kosmio Djspalo , an
Italian , 34 years of ugu were still in the hos
pital when the Hugla was sighted off Fire
island.
Could Not Knso TlicIrSnllcrlnc * .
Two moro deaths beside Ihoso mentioned
above , occurred during the voragc. Tbo
patients in these cases were Roslo bturr , 30
years old , Edward Slorr. The symptoms in
their cases developed very rapidly and the
doctors were unable to do anything to case
their sufferings. Tboy died on September 1.
The Uuciu arrived off Flro Island early
thu morning und cauio in through the nar
rows to the quarantine station. She was
the first vessel boarded by Drs. Jenkins nud
Tallmadgo. As soon ns they inquired
whether there bad been illness , on board and
bad ascertained the true state of affairs ,
tboy ordered tbo ship to tbo lower bay , She
weighed anchor at 0:10 : and took up un
anchorage u llttlo south of Ibo steamship
Jioravia.
Dr. Jenkins bas issued tbo strictest kind
of orders and under no circumstances will bo
allow any one to approach the vessels quar
antined. ,
Antlclputo further Cases.
Further cases are anticipated on tbo Mor-
tula also. Although tno two convalescents
were reported doing well this mornine , the
Patients on board the Normau'nla , Hucia aud
Moravia , would , it was said , probably bo
transferred to Swinburno island today. Al
though tbo diagnosis in each case was chol
erine , Dr. Jenkins did not doult lhat iho
scourge was cholera. Ho soys ho continues
hopeful ot keeping Iho disease in the lower
bay. However , tbo worst may bo expected ,
as In 1SST tbcro were over llfly deaths on the
hospital islands nnd very few actual cases
when the steerage was .transferred.
Evan u worse state ot affairs is anticipated
on tbo two additional vessels expected from
Hamburg within the next wcott which loft
later than today's arrivals , and when tbo
dlscasa bad made greater ravages in Ham
burg , and almost all ot ibo dead and sick on
ihc Hugia and Normannia hail from Ham
burg or nnarby ports. A fowj were residents
of this country.
In -itiito of Nervous Kxrltcmmit.
The quarantine ofllccrs nro in a state of
nervous excitement. It must not be under
stood thai they are frightened , but they
were hoping for the best , as tbo Normaunia
was expected to got by safely.
When tbo saloon passengers on thcso ves
sels will get oir Is a question Dr. Jenkins bus
not yet decided.
The steamboat Blackbird came down with
a crowd to got oft two passengers on tbo
Umbsla , but failed. They used Influence
with government oQlcors , but this made no
difference.
Dr. Jenkins , early this morning bad tele-
grrphed for Prof. Herman Biggs , consulting
pathologist of the Health department , and
Prof. William Walls , professor ot bac
teriology of John Hopkins university. They
arrived shortly after noon and Dr. Jenkins
took them down to Iho steamboat wharf.
"What will you do with tboao strlckon
with tbo disease on tbo Hugia , Normanla and
Moravia , doutorl" a reporter asked.
"Wo will1 bo replied , "romovo thorn to
Swinburno island just as fast as wo possibly
can. "
"Will you order the floating hospital boat
S. D. Cutlin on duly)11 )
"I don't know yet : I will determine on my
roturn. " .
"How soon will the saloon passengers on
the Normanla got up ? "
"I don't know. "
"Are they much nlurmcdl"
"I wns only on board for n few mli > utcs
and cannot say. "
Wilt TriniKfer the I utlont .
Dr. Jonkin * then ran off and'boarded lhox
cutler Stole of Now York. Ho proceeded to
Sivluoburno island und then to tbo Infected
vessels in the lower quarantine. Pnipuru-
ttous were begun for u transfer of the
patients.
At 8 p. m. , the Mormaunla'a malls having
bcon thoroughly-fumigated , were placed on
board tbo steamboat John 12. Moore and
tuUoii to Now York ,
Tbo steamer Umbria loft quarantine for
her pernt63l ! ) . All llrst uii'l second-class
pasaonpors were transferred from the ( Jity of
Homo about C o'clock and tbo bteuincr loft
for her pier nt 0:30 p. m.
Tomorrow Dr. Jenkins proposes to estab
lish u quarantine patrol in tbo lower bay and
keep patting vessels and nowspipor tug *
1,000 foot from tbo Kugla aud Narmania.
A tishonnan attempted to land on South
beach this morning but the police would tot
lot him. He caiuu to Ur , Jenkins for per-
uilislon to land his boat. Dr. Jenkins told
him that no and bis crew would have to stop
working and fUhlni ; In tbo bay hereafter ,
aud will usuo an order to that ( 'fleet. This
will throw a good many men out of means of
making a livelihood.
Tueru was grout excitement at tbo oQlco of
tbo Hamburg Packet company , when the
news got out tbnt iho liugla and Nonnania
bad arrived with cholera on board. Hun
dreds of persons called In search of Informa
tion about friends or relatives who were pas
sengers on the ships. Most of iho Inquiries
were about the cabin passenccrs.
Many persons expected friends on the
Normanla , who were hurrying homo on ac
count of thu cbolura. The big list of cabin
passengers on that Vessel shows that Ameri
cans who had Intended romatnlng in Europe
until later in tbo season bad started homo
on the first ship on which they could got
passage. Every clerk in the company's
oflico was kept busy for hours answering
quostions.
This afternoon n representative of Charles
Frobmnn called at the Hamburg-American
Packet company inquiring anxiously nboul
Lottlo Collins. Ha said she bad been on tbo
Normanla , and ho also said that Mls John
son Bennett , who in to take the leading part
in the produottoii of "Jano" nt the Standard
theater on Monday ovcninc , had sailed from
Havre and will arrive hero tomorrow , 'rho
vessel will , of course , bo detained for several
days nnd the play will have to bo postponed
until she is released.
Among the pasaongcrs on the Normanla
were Lottlo Collins , A. M. Calmer , wife and
daughter , E. L. Codkln nnd wife , Ilon. A.
Wellington Wallace , Prof. XuvlcrScbar-
wonka nnd Mr. * and Mrs. C. N. Van Hons-
salaer , Josephine Knapp and Laura Joyce-
boll were also on board.
Many letters written to persons known to
bo on board and loft at the company's oflico
were delivered this evening through the
quarantine officers.
AVlll Ho Detained Only Five Days.
When asked how loug the cabin passengers
would bo detained at quarantine , the clerks
in the company's oflico "promptly answered
that they would not bo detained moro than
ilvo daysffcprobahly not so long. They did
not say on what information they based that
that statement. They even intimated that
the vessels might not bo detained us long us
Ilvo days. This appeared to satisfy many in
quirers , but others wanted to go down in
tugs and bring oft their frlouds , who were
cabin passengers , without delay.
Manager Cortis , when naked why bis line
persisted in bringing immigrants from Ham
burg niter stating that his company would
ship no mere of thcso ncoplo from the In-
fcclrd port , said : "Stocrago passengers
were booked and \voro in Hamburg awalllng
transportation. Wo had to take them. Tbo
railroad i would not carry them out of Ham
burg , and what else could wo dot The Bo
hemia , which sailed Thursday , will u-j tbo
last vessel to bring over immigrants while
tbo plague lasts. Her stccrago passengers
huvo teen in quarantine from flvo to eight
days. There was no sickness among thorn
and their baggaga and everything was thor
oughly fumigated before they sailed. "

Captain 13ordonheusor of the Hamburg-
American Packet Steamship company went
down to quarantine today and returned to
tbo company's oflico at 5 o'clock. Ho re
ported that ho went alongside the steamship
Slubbenhuk , which arrived from Hamburg
Ibis morning wilh 232 steerage passengers

Everybody blames the municipality and doc

'Tbo p'.aguo this y ar , " ho said , "follows
tbo march of the great , epidemics. It nuacks

There ought to bo nnj ntornatlonal hygonlo

out on the spot. Ottw measures am useless.
1 do not understand tbo complaints made
against tbo authorities.it Hamburg. Nobody
knows exactly whoa-iha disease Docamo opi-
domlo in certain , European capitals. Al
though for some months-.tbcro bavo bcon

"Almost all the. measures taken at tbo

"Ono of tbo first things is to make a city
thoroughly wholesome. People ought to oo
made moro careful in a city like Hamourg ,
where all kinds of rcfjiso and filth are thrown
into tbo water and whore sewerage docs not
exist. i About 30,000 parsons dwell
in collars nnd live on fish. An
epidemic Is inevitable , and it is almost Im
possible to urovent it running ripht through
Germany. It is only In healthy places , clean
towns and among.tho well-nourished that the
malady will amount to little. In that case
there may bo ten pr only ono case , according
lo iho size of the population , but not thou
sands as in Hamburc.
"If you become ill , drink , as hot as over

Should those produce no olToct , then put

tbo stilling heat of tbo pnst week would have

burg.
Army Mutters Uncertain.
Whatever certain organs of the chancellor
may say , I have reason to bollovo thut the
now army bill , involving un Increaseof
80OJd,000 marks in military oJtlmatos may
not bo presented at the next session. The
powers thut bo are not at ouo on the subject.
The two-years' service clause seems to have
been dropped for tbo tlmo , but the emperor ,
Coprlvl , Count Eulcnburg , Baron Borlapach ,
Baron Boottchar and iho military party are
strongly in favor of the idea of
asking the Rolcbstag to vote the
prospected increase In the expenditure
The rest of the ministry and ohlotly Hurr
Miguel , who is the brain of the government ,
have done their best to oppose it as untimely.
Miguel would prefer postponing the Intro
duction of the bill which bo forsocs may
interfere with his own ptans of reviving the
national taxation. In tha'facc of the imperial
wish , however , ho has cot [ ventured
to com oat the principle of the
bill. Ho has affected to fall In with the
chancellor's viows. Like Pllato , ho has
washed his bunds of the affair , leaving
Caprivi and his master to boar all the ro-
Bponsiblllty for the consequences of forcing
an unpopular scheme upon tbo Helcbstag.
Should the bill bo prcsontod after all , the
chancellor may have to act as its
cbiof champion , for tbo minister of
war , General ICultenbarn , Btuchnn is no
orator and lacks the force of character re
quired to push a measure through the bouse ;
or again , the dlftluulty may bo dodged by tbo
appointment of another minister. I hear
that this alternative has been discussed at
Potsdam.
In any case tbo chancellor stakes his bead
upon tbo issue of the battle , and if ho falls
his system will fall with him , with the ex
ception of the now Uonncher House , in
Untorden Linden and Wnldonor.

lug to the limitation of the disoast in an epi
demic form to the Hamburg dlstrlci , nnd the

rainstorms are hooping down diseases which
stimulate cholera , and all influences are re
storing a general sense of security.
Casoi resembling cholera nro rife enough ,
especially in Cbarlotteuburg. The water
works in this suburb of Uerliu provide only

residents figuring largely in the returns ot
death from intc'tinal disorders.
