Tracy, the Secretary of the | Navy, was in New York city yesterday, and he | conferred with Dr. Jenkins over the telephone | in regard to the service that the Naty Depart- ment could perform in connection with doing patrol duty and in finding a place for the de- tained cabin passengers on some uninfected vessol. Secretary Tracy was seen at the Gilsey House, and to a reporter he said yesterday afternoo: | “Lexpected to» Dr. Jenkins this afternoon and tell him just wii the navy would and could do to aid him in keeping out the cholera and in providing a place to which the detained passen- | gerscan be sent as fast as the ships arrive in | port, ‘The fact of the m: is that there ts | only one vessel that the ) Department has on hand that could be of any service as a re- ceiving ship for the passengers who reach here. | That is the apprentice ship, the New Hamp-| ehire. She has no rooms and ix ecarcely fit to | accommodate men, to say nothing of women. | All that she has in the line of sleeping accom- modations fs a large cabin, in which the bors | sleep in hammocks. I° think that the gers should be taken away from the Infected ships, and my idea is that few of the | sound steamers eculd be chartered for that | Qt I saw two of the sound steamers Ly- ing idle at Fall River, and the idea occurred to me that it would be an excellent plan to hire them fora while, and to put the passengers from the infected ships aboard of them as fast | as they reach this country. Cruisers for that | purpose could not be used. In the first place, there is no room for passengers, and thon there would be the danger of spreading the disease | mong the cre! The assistant secretary of the navy, who was seen in Gen. Tracy's rooms at the Gilsey House last night, said: “Secretary Tracy is doing all that he can to assist Dr. Jenkins, with whom I have been talking over the tolephone this even- ing. At 6 o'clock the Narkeeta, a 200-ton, under the command of Lieut. Bell, left the navy yard for Whitestone, to do patrol duty along the | sound and the East river, at the entrance to it. The licutenant has been ‘instructed to stop all ships, unless they have a permit from the health officer to enter. I called toda unofficially on the president of the Stonington line, and Mr. Miller intormed me that one of their boats could be chartered by the health officer, if he wanted it. The boat is a large one, and is fitted up with state rooms, and is just suited for the pur- pose of taking the passengers from the ships that reach her, from the infected ports. Sh LEE SANDY HOOK WANTED As a Resort for the Cabin Passengers Un- der Quarantine. Gen. Grant, acting secretary of war, received a telegram this morning from Secretary Charles Foster, now in New York city, suggesting that the War Department allow Sandy Hook to be used a8 a place of retreat for the quarantined cabin passengers of the Atlantic liners now in the lower bay. A similar request was preferred by Austin Corbin and by Agent Boas of the Hamburg-American packe line. The War Department was also asked to loan 500 army tents for the temporary accommoda- tion of the passengers until barracks can be built. Itis proposed to isolate the cabin pas- sengers from the infected ships and keep them at Sandy Hook until all danger is past. The War Department is considering the plan, but it does not meet with much approval. If it is carried out it will be with reluctance and only because of a great emergency. Sandy Hook the government proving ground for testing heavy ordnance, “and im- portant work is being carried on there, which would have to be suspended. It is thought that it would be difficult to the people from greaping from quarantine if they were once landed. a However, the department will carefully con- sider the question and render a decision during the day. ‘The department has no tents at its command, all tents in this part of the country having been loaned to the G. A. R. committee in this city for the encampment. Gen. Grant has asked the committee if they will surrender 500 tents, that number to be replaced within two or three days by shipments from St. Louis. Up toa Inte hour this afternoon no decision had been reached by the War Department. a HOW JEFF DAVIS’ NAME WAS ERASED. The True Story About the Incident at Cabin John Bridge. Mr. Wm. R. Hutton, formerly chief engineer of the Washington aqueduct aud now a distin- guished civil engineer in New York, writes Tae Stan indorsing tho following newspaper clip- ping: 5 Mr. Montgomery Meizs, son of the Meigs, writes as follows to the Washi **Permit me, through your columns, truth, to comet the statement. lately p some newspapers that the name of Jefierson Daves, us Secretary of War, inscribed on Cabin John brides at the time of its erection, was erased by the order of my father, Gen. Meigs. My father, referring toa similar Statonient publistiod a year or. tw ‘erate atom y that tl made without ation wi h him, without bis knowiedge and at no longer had any ccntrol whatever he aqueduct,” Mr. Hutton’s letter says: The abose cutting was sent me from Wash- ington some montlsago. A recent conversa- tion with Col, Elliot in charge of the Washing- ton aqueduct induces me to give the facts con- cerning the removal of Jefferson Davis’ name from Cabin John bridge, which it seems has been attributed to Gen. Meigs, wholly without reason, he being at the time quartermaster gen- eral. In Juno, 1862, at the request of the Sec- retary of the Interior, Hon. Culeb. B, Smith, to whose department the aqueduct had just been transferred, I accompanied the Secretary and a numbers of members of Congress on a tour of inspection’of the aqueduct by way of the canal. Opposite Cabin John several of the rty disembarked and waiked to the bridge Fora ucarer viow. ‘Beturning in hot haste,“Do you know,” said Hon. Galusha Grow to the Secretary, “that d—d rebel Meigs has put Jeff Davis’ name onthe bridge.” Turning to me the Secretary said: “The first order I give you is to cut Jeff Davis’ name off the bridge.” A few days later I was appointed chief engineer of the aqueduct. Not taking seriously the Sec- 's remark I did nothing in the matter. A ter Mr. Robert MeIntyre, contractor, ar- rived to resume his work upon the bridge ‘and called to pay his respects to the Secretary. The Secretary eaid to him that they had put Jeff Davis’ naine on the bridge; he wished he would it off. “With the greatest pleasure, Mr. Seo- retary,” was the reply. And thecontractor'’s first Work was to remove Mr. Davis’ name, SAE American Missionaries to Be Protected.

New Yorx, Sept. 8.—a dispatch received nounced that the quarantined steamers Nor- manniaand Rugia had hoistec the yellow fing | again and that the same signal is flying at | Hoffman Irland. These signals indicate there are | more cholera cases this morning on the Nor- mannia, the Rugiaand on Hoffman Island, for it was agreed yesterday between the health off- cerand the commanders of the steamships mentioned that the yellow fiag after yesterday | was not to be hoisted unless as a notification that additional cases of cholera had been dis- covered. YESTERDAY'S RECORD. The record for yesterday was eight fresh cases among the crew of the Normannia and two more cases among the steerage passengers of the same ship. Consequently «ince the cholera arrived here there have been thirty-one cases of sickness from that disease and eig! deaths from the rame cause at this port. It will be noticed, however, that this is not an ming state of effairs considering that there bay at the cholera anchorage. It will also be seen that the dreaded scourge has been almost entirely confined to the crew of the Normannia, and that the stokers of that vessel neem to be the greatest sufferers. Eight of the steamer’s crew—all strong, hardy men were removed from the vessel yesterday after- noon and transterred to Swinburne Island. The doctor would not say that these men were suffering from cholera, but admitted that they had diarrhea and other symptoms that were very sopicioms. It is safe to assume that the transfers of these men to the pest island would not have been made had not the health oficers been morally certain that the disease was cholera. SICK MEN TAKEN TO THE NORMANNTA. And now comes the most serious and signifi- cant part of it. These eight men who wero taken from the Normannia in agony bad only the day before been taken back to the ship after twelve hours’ stay on Hoffman Isiand, where they were scrubbed, fumigated and disinfected with all possible ‘thoroughness. Along with some 500 others they were taken back to the Normannia in apparently excellent health, and the following day they were prostrated with Asiatic cholera, or something very like it. One of the health officials spoke of these new cases rather lightly. as if they were of little im- portance and not cholera at all. “It was all the result of washing these fel- lows,” he said, laughing. “The shock of such an unfamiliar experience was too much for them, You can develop pretty much any. die. ease by treating there unwashed immigrants with water. They caught cold, got cramps and diarrhea, and that is all thee isto it. It was not cholerine, but bathing.” ‘That ix all very well, but if such is really the explanation why, as several indignant gentle- men asked, send these men who had no cholera to the very of all others where they are most liable to contract it? Whichever way one looks at it the matter is not one which cails for laughter. ‘These eight men, prisoners on Swin- burne Island, are not laughing, neither are the Passengers on the Normannia, Dr. Jonkins says that these “doubtfal” cases, even though they are sent to Swinburne Island, will be carefully isolated from the other cholera cases there, but any one who knows how small this island is will be scarcely reassured by that statement. eight pag “Suppose these eight men are quite well in the morning and show that they did not have cholera at all, what will you do with them?” “Send them back to Hoffman Island, wash and fumigate them again and put them back on the steamer.” ‘And suppose they contract the real cholera meanwhil The doctor shrugged his shoulders and made | no further answer. Whatever these men had itis certain that they were very ill, and the news of adeath among them may be expected before the day is over. ‘The protests of the Normannia and Rugia’s saloon pascngers against their detention on the cholera ships when either the disease is confined to the crow or when the sickness seems only to attack the steerage passengers is caus- ing the New York newspapers to urge very strongly that the work of transferring these people to the camp to be pitched at Sandy Wook shopld be hastened in every way possible, TAKING SALOON PASSENGERS OFF.

Of course in this as in all other matters there are two aides to the question, but this brings te mind the fact that one of the most dangerous features of the prescnt quarantine «) stem seems to be utterly urmoticed. Here we have several doctors, their tugs, their crews, &c., re peatedly visiting the infected ships and just as repeatedly returning to land, and plac ing themselves in communication with scores of reporters, steamship agents, friends of de- tair finally, their own fami lies without « word of protest arising.
