Newly infected steamships arrived in this harbor today with awful stories of death and suffering. They were the Rugia and Normania, both from Hamburg. The Rugis buried five steerage passengers at sea and had five living cholera patients still on board wheu she cast anchor. The Normania buried four steerage passengers and oue cabin pas- senger. She had four patients still alive, one being a member of the crew. It is claimed that the cabin passenger who died on tho Normania was suffering from diabetis only. It cannot be overesti- Deaths on the Normadia.

More Deaths Likely to Occur, The convalescent cases are considered wvery scrious and further deaths are likely to oucur. Health Ofticer Jenkins tmmediately ordered both shipts to the lower bay as soon as the cptaius of the vessels had notified him of the codition of affurs, I'he Normannie sailed from Hamburg on August 26 aad touched av Southampton on her way to this port. Sho carried 206 first class and 222 second class passengers. Her stesrage passengers were 452 in number. The first death on board ths Normannia oc- curred on August 20, Carl Herbert, 57 years of age, a second class passenger, had been taken down with a disease which the ship’s physician diagnosed as cholora, A similar case was discovered about the same time in the steerage of Otile Harm, a chiid 11 months of age. The Diseaso Developed Rapidiy, The cholera symptoms developed rapidly in both cases and left no doubt in the mind of the ship's surgeon as to the nature of the disease. Whon Herbert's doath, on August 20, was followed by the death of the other patient, the cbila in the steerage, on August 20, the authorities of the ship recognized the serious condition of affuirs, Taey at once ook all possible precautions to prevent the disease from spreading among the other pas- sengers on board the vessel. Notwithstand- ing their efforts several other illnesses of like uature were soon discovered. The sur- geon touk Yadical meosures. He carefully isolated ull tho patients aud personally saw that the utmost care was exorcised by the persons in nursing to avoid communicating the disease to others, ‘There was great alarm amoug the passen- gors when they learued that the dread dis- ease had appeared on board the vessel. Tho captain did bis best to ullay the fears of the cabln passengers by assuring them that every effort would be made to keep the disoase from spreading, end urged them to give him every mssistance in thelr power to bring about that result. Then he turned his attontion to the steerege, where the greatest dangor of tho aiseaso spreadiog was apprehonded, Passengers Panle Stricken, The ignoraut stecrage passengers were completely panic-stricker upou learning that cholera had appearced amoug thom. They lost their beads entirely, and appearcd to be fucapablo of hbelplug themselves in the slightest respect. The captain and the sur- geon ordered a careful wateh to be kept over the steerage passengers in order that they did not heedlessly run into davger of cateh- fug the disease. In spite of all precautions more cases soon developed. Nearly all were alike, Five more were taken ill in the #teerage, four of them belug children— Adolph Soboltz, 1 year old; Willle Harm, 8 yours old; Rudolph Hernish, 11 months old, and Selma Horn, 5 years old. The cbol- ora symploms developed rapidly in these eascs, as it did in the previous oves, and each case the diagnosis of tho surgeon showed 1he disease to be what be termed eholerine. Willle Harm rapidly grew worse, d died on September 1.

Indiguuions led tho ship physi- clan to aiaguose his oase as diabetes. All the remedios known wers administered to Hegemaon. but toey were of no avail, Other Cases Appear, There was no furtber appearance of any- thing resembling cholera among the first cabin passengers after the death of Hege. maun, but another death occurred in the steerage from cholerine on the following day. ‘Tho patient who dled was the ehild, Adolvn Scnoltz. The clolera symptoms in his case were particularly marked. To more cases broke out on board the ship. Morris Bonheiser, a steerago passeu- ger, 50 years of age, showed symptoms of cholerine and was promptiy isolated. Ono of the crow also, Henrich Frank Heiser, was taken il with the disease. All the cases were attended to as soon as their existenco was known, und the appearance of the chol- era symptons resulted 1in their being promptly isolated. No further deaths occurred on the voyage. All whno haa been taken down with tho dis- euse, howeuer, were still kept isolated when the Normannia arcived at this port early this morning. Log of the Plague Ship Rugia. The Rugin, the other pest shipof the Ham- burg-American Packet company, which ar- rived in port today with cholera, left Ham- burg on August 21. She had 423 steerago passengers oa board, She touched at Southampton on her way over. The first death occurred a week after leaving port. Karl Koenig, 30 years of age, and Bertha Koenig of the same age, were takon 1il about the same time, They both died on August 28, The sy mptoms of their illness were alike and were such that the ship's surgeon im- mediately pronounced the discase to be cholerine, Captain Letihhauser, the commander of the Rugia and the surgeon did everything to prevynt the spread of the disease, but the ignorance and recklessness of the steerage passengers made thoir efforts of no avail. Other cases of illness of a similar kind soon appeared, and seven moro passengers were taken down with the disease, Elime Pogaski, 27 years old; Paul Koenig, 9 years old; Johanau Bust, aged 54; Aurien Poters, aged 62 Kosmio Dispalo, an Italian, 34 years of uge were still in the hos- pital when the Rugia was sighted off Firo isiand. Could Not Ense Their Sufferings. Two more deaths beside those mentioned above, occurred during the vorage. Iho patients in these cuses were Rosie Sterr, 30 years ola, Edward Sterr. The symptows in their cases developed very rapidly and the doctors were unable to do anything to case their sufferings. They died on September 1. The Rugis arrived off Fire island eurly this morning and came in through the nar- rows to the quarantine station. She was the first vessel boarded by Drs. Jenkins aud Talimadge. As soon as tuey inquired whether there had been illuess on board ana had ascertained tho true state of affairs, they ordered the ship to the lower bay. She weighed anchor at 6:10 and took upan ancliorage a little soutb of the steamship Moravia. Dr. Jenkins has 1ssued the strictest kind of orders and under no circumstances will he allow any one to approach the vesscls quar- anuned. Anticipate Further Cases. Further cases are anticipated on the Mor- avia also. Although tne two convalescentis were reported doing well this morning, the natients on board the Normannia, Rugia and Moravia, would, it was said, probably bo transferred to Swinburne island today. Al- though the diagnosis 1n each case was chol- crine, Dr. Jonkins did not doult that the scourge was cholera, He says he continues hopeful of keeping the disease 1 the lower bay. However, the worst may boe expocted, as in 1887 thero wore over fifty deaths on the hospital islands and very few actual cases when the steerage was transferred. Even a worse state of affairs is anticipated on the two additional vessels expected from Hamburg within the next week which left later thea today’s arrivals, and when the diseaso had made greater ravages in Ham- burg, and almost all of the dead and sick on the Rugia and Normaunia hail from Ham- burg or nearby ports. A few werc residents of this country. Ina State of Nervous Excitement. The quarautine officers are in a state of nervous excitement. It must not be under- stood thav they are frightened, but they were hoping for the best, as the Normannia was expected to get by safely. When the seloon passengers on these ves- sels will get off is a question Dr, Jeckius bus not yet decided. The steambout Blackbird came down with acrowd to get off Lwo passengers on the Umbsia, but failed. They used influence with government officers, but this made no difference. Dr, Jenking, early this morning had tele- grrphed for Prof. Horman Biggs, consulting pathologist of the Health department, and Prof. Willlam Wells, professor ot bac- teriology of John Hopkins university. They arrived shortly after noon and Dr. Jenkins took thew down to the steamboat wharl. “What will you do with those stricken with the disease on the Rugis, Normania and Moravis, doctor?” a reporter asked. “We will," he replied, ‘‘remove them to Swinburne island just as fast as we possibly can.”" “Will you order the floating hospital boat 8.

Dr, Jenkios then rao off and boarded the catter Stote of New York. He proseeaed to Swineburne 1sland and then to the infectea vessels in the lower quarantine. Prepare- tlous wére begun for a transfer of tuhe patients, At8p. m, the Normaunia's mails having been thoroughly -fumigated, were placed on board the steawboat Johu E. Moore and taken to New York, The steamer Umbria left quarantine for her pler at 5:80, All first and s nd-class passengers were transferred from the Qity of Lome about b o'clock and the steamer left for her pier at 6:30 p. m. Teworrow Dr. Jeukins proposes to estad- lisb @ quarsotine patrol in the lower bay and keep passiug vessels and mewspaper tugs 1,000 fect from the Rugia and Narmania, A fisherman attompted to land on South beach this morning but the policoe would vot let bim. He came to Dr. Jeakius for per mission to land bis boat, D, Jenkius told bim that be aud his crew would have to stop working and fishiog in the bay hereafter, aud will 1ssue an order to that effect. This will throw a good maoy wen out of meaus of waking & livelihood. There was groal excitement at the oltice of | the Hamburg Packet company, when te news got out that the Rugia and Normania had arrived with cholera on board. Hun- dreds of persons called in search of informa- tion about friends or relatives who were pas- sengers on tho ships, Most of tho inquiries were about the cabin passengers. Many persons expected friends on the Normania, who weré hurrying home on ac- count of the cholera, 'T'he big list of cabin passeugers on that vesser shows that Ameri- cans who had {ntended remaining in Europe until later in the season had startea homo on the first ship on which they could get passage. Every clerk in the company’s office was kept busy for hours answering questions. This aftornoon a representative of Charies Frohman called at the Hamburg-American Packet company inquiring anxiously about Lottie Collins. He said she had been on the Normania, and he also said that Miss Jobn- son Bennett, who is to take the leading part in the production of ‘Jane’ at the Standard theater on Monday evening, had sailed from Huvre and will arrive here tomorrow. 'the vessel will, of course, be detained for several days and the play will have to be postponed until she is released. Among the pasaengers on the Normania were Lottie Collins, A. M. Ralmer, wife and daughter, B. L. Codkin and wife, Hon. A. Wellington Wallace, Prof. Xavier Schar- wenka and Mr. and Mrs, C. N, Van Rens- salaer, Josephine Knapp and Laura Joyce- bell were also on board, Many letters written to persons known to be on board and left at the company’s office were delivered this evening through the quarantine officers, Will Be Detained Only Five Days. When asked how long the cabin passengers would be dotained at quarantine, the clerks in the company’s office promptly answered that thoy would not be detained more than five daysmprobably not so long. They did not say on what information they based that that statement. They even intimated that the vessels might not be detained us long as five days. This appeared to satisfy many in- quirers, but others wanted to go down in tugs and bring off their frieuds, who were cabin passengers, without delay. Manager Cortis, when asked why his line persisted in bringing immigrants from Ham- burg after stating that his company would ship no mere of these people from the in- fected port, said: ‘“Stecrage passengers were booked and re in Hamburg awaiting trunsportation. We had to take them. The railroad s would not carry them out of Hawm- burg, and what else could we dot The Bo- hemia, which sailed Thursday, will bs the last vessel to bring over immigrants whilo the plague lasts, Her stecrage passengers have teen iu quarantine from five to eight days. There was no sickness among them and their baggage and everything was thor- ougkly fumigated before they saiied.” No Sickness on the Stubbenhuk, Captain Bordenheuser of the Hamburg- American Packet Steamship company went aown to quarantine today and returned to the company’s ofice at 5 o'clock. He re- ported thav he went alongside the steamship Stubbenhuk, which arrivea from Hamburg this morning with 232 steerage passeugers as Dr. Sanborn, the health ofticor, went on board. The captamn of the steamship told him thatall of the passengers were well, and thut none of them had died of cholera or anythiug resembling it during the voy- age, Dr. Sanborn also told him all were well on board. The ship 8. D. Carlton will be taken to the lower bay tomorrow, and will be the headquarters for a polico squad, which will patrol the water to see that there is no com- munication with the detained steawmers, CANADA'S REPLY. What the Dominion Government is Dolng to Keep Out the Flague. Wasnisaroy, D. C., Sept. 3.—Surgen Gen- eral Wyman of the Marine hospital service yesterday telegraphed to the provincial sec- retary of Canads, at Quebec, asking him whatsteps had been taken to preveut the introduction of cholera into Canada, This morning Dr. Wyman received a tele- gram from the secretary, in which he says that he has recomwended a totul suspension of immigration, and that all vessels arriving from infected ports bs detaiced at quarun- tine for eight days, for tweuty days after disinfection should cholera be aboard. It is also recommended that the federal gov- ernment eatend the prohibition of rags to all Buropean and Asiatic ports, and have requested all the latitude for the provincial government and & proclamation putting in forco special clauses regardiog epidemics ready to be issued when repuired.

Aletter has been receivod from Surgeon Wheoer, at Ellis istand, stating that the president’s order meet with almost universal sutisfuctior . The uttitude of Dr. Jenkinf was the en- grossing topic in official circles in this ity today and various were the comments that were made. lear is expressed that the moral effoct of it may oe such as to have some influence on health oficers at other ports, who may be led to declare jndepend- ence of the proclamation as Dr. Jenkins is reported to have done, * No Cause for Frictlon, Assistant Socrofhry Spaulding said thero was no occasion for any friction in the ad- winistration of the quarantine regulations, and he did not think_any existed. Dr. Jenkins had been very busy, and bad not had time to read the proclamation carefully. He was satisfied that thiogs would properly adjust themselves.

Tho pest is now carrying off 700 persons a day. I met here Prof. Sehwenninger, one of the most celebrated dootdrs in Berlin and phys: cian-in-ordinary to Prince Bismarck, whom he never leaves. H& has become qaite a friend of the family and attends the prince whenever ho nee¢s his services. Dr. Schwenninger discovured a famous method for curing gout, and invented an anti-fat system.

JAcQuES ST. CERe, BERLIN NOT FRIGHTENED, Actlve Measures PBels Taken to Head O the Scourge There. [Copyrighted 1842 by ames Gordon Bennett.] Beruiy, Sept, 3, —[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tux Bes,]—Tho cleanliness and order, on whicn the Berlinese justly pride themselves, have so far cipcked the progress of cholera in this city. In aoy other place the stitling heat of the past week would have ddvelopted the disease. At least three cases of unquestioable cholera. have been reportea. Two of three have provea fatal. but the enmergy and care with which the measures peescribed by the authorities have been enforced have wot allowed the epidemic to make headway. A good deal of uneasiness lies hidden be neath the jests in which the Hoi Pollor in- dulge at the expense of the scourge. There is no panic.

A private letter published in a paper gives an avpalling description of the nelplessness of the local ruters, the dificulties experi- enced in disinfecting the dead and the inade- quacy of undertakers, The writer of the letter says that in one day 300 hearses passed the windows on the way to the cemeteries. Volunteers are badly needed to assist the overworked officials, and to the credit of hu- manity it is likely they will be forthcoming. The emporor did wisely when ho gave up his Swedish hunting trip, It would have been strange, indeea, to see the head of the state amusing nimself at Gothenburg, while his subjects were perishing by hundreds and thousands. The emperor has a golden chance now for recovering his lost popularity. He has only to imitate the example set him by King Humbert at Naples. Ho has not yet announced his intention of visiting Ham- burg. Army Matters Uncertain, Whatever certain organs of the chancellor may say, I haye reason to bellevo thut the new army bill, volving an increase of 80,000,000 marks in military estimates may not be presented at the next session. The powers that be aro not at one on the subject. Tho two-years' service clause seems to havo been dropped for the time, but the emperor, Caprivi, Count Eulenburg, Baron Berlapach, Barou Boettcher and jhe military party aro strongly in favor of the idea of asking the Roichstag to vote the prospected increase in the expenditure The rest of the ministry and ohiefly Herr Miguel, who is the brain of the government, have done their best to oppose it as uatimely. Miguel would prefer postponing the intro- duction of the bill which he forsees may interfere with his own pilans of reviving the natianal taxation. In theTace of the imperial wish, however, ne has rot jventured to combat the principle of the bill. He has affectea to fall in with the chancellor’s views, Like Pilate, he has washed his hunds of the affair, leaving Caprivi and his master to bear all the re- sponsibllity for the consequences of forcing an unpopular scheme upon the Reichstag. Should the bill be presented after all, the chancellor mway have to act as its chief champion, for the minister of war, Geperal Kaltenbarn, Stuchan is no orator and lacks the force of character re- quired to push a measure through the house; or again, the difficulty may be dodged by the appointment of auother mnister. I hear that this alternative has been discussed at Potsdam. In any case the chancellor stakes his head upon the issue of the vattle, and 1f he falls his system will fall with hun, with the ex- ception of the new Ronacher Huuse, in Unter den Linden and Waldener.

HAMBURG'S AWFUL SANITARY CONDITION Filthy Tenement Distriots Which Invite the Broeding of All Kinds of Disease, THAT CITY'S POLLUTED WATER SUPPLY Changes That Are Necessary to Put the City in a Henlthy Condition—Presis dent Harelson's Clreular Has o Good Effect—Germuny Nows. [Copyrighted 1892 by New York Assoclated Pres: BERLIN, Sept. 8,—The putlic alurm occa sioned by the cholera is fast dying out, 0 lug to the limitation of the diseast in an epi- demic form to the Hamburg districy, and the confidence there in the vigllance of the authorities, Cool weather and arundant rainstorms aro keeping down diseases which stimulate chiolera, and all iufluences are re- storing o general sense of security, Casos resembling cholera are rife enough, especially in Charlottenburg. The water works in this suburb of Berhn provide only a scanty supply of muddy wator. The sani- tary conditions of the place are otherwise oud, and it is natural, therefore, to find its residents figuring largely in the returns of death from intestinal disorders, Death Follows Fast, Undoubted cases of Asiatic cholera that have been taken to the Moabit nospital are all traceable to Hamburg., Two fresh cases that were taken there touay ave illustrations of all the others. One of today’s cases was an engine ariver on the night express train from Hamburg, while the other was a young porter, who carried linon for a person who had just arrived from Hamburg to the disin- fecting chambers, The marvelous rapidity with which the Hamourg infection opsrates was instanced i this case, Not balf an hour eleapsed beiween the time tho victim weut naar the infected linen and the time he was stricken down. The narrow Steinen strasse, through which he passed, has been thors ougbly disinfectod. Although there 18 no sign of the disease spreading here, tho autboritios have not relaxed tneir precautions, Tho great horsa market, which was fixed to open on Tuess day, has been indetinitely postponed. It would have been the hkeliest ceuter for the preparation’ of the epidemio, s it brings Berlin dealers fiom every quarter Germany near the Baltic sea. Effect of President Harrison's. cnpfln President Harrison’s circular is mainly regarded here as justifying more rigorous measures ta stop Russian or other emigration from entering Germany. Uuder President Harrison’s edict the decision of the steamship com- panics not to taxe steerage passengers oun their vessels, keeps a number of Russian refugees here, but no more will be allowed to cross the frontier. Henceforth the front iers will be closed absolutely against Russian immigrants, and, in the cases of those from other countries, none will be permitted to cuter Germauy unless the compauies convey= 1ug them to their final destination guarantee a fulfiliment of their contract. Immigrants from anvihere will be disinfectea and their luggage fumgated. ‘The medical papers support the agitation of the compulsory cremation of cholera vie- tims. The Hamburg crematory has been ex= tensively used since the outbreak of cholera. Better News from Hamburg. Better news comes from Hamburg, though the city is suill an immense hospital. A Gorman ofticial who just returned from Ham- burg told the representative of the Assools ated Press here that the sanitary condition is still frightful, though the enfurcement of ac- tive remedial measures is proczeding. A rad- ical overhauling is necessary. New water works are necessary to replace the 40-year- old system. The prasent water supply is de- filed with sewerage. Houses for blocks must bo rebuilt, streots widened and the drainage improved, There is a large number of tene- ment houses in the city that are said to ba worse than any in the New York F've Points uistrict, The staircases in some of these buildings are so narrow and crooked Jiatit requires dextrous handliug to carry c)rpses down if rigor mortis has set in. Cofos can- nut be carried down. They are Iaft o. the lower landing places until the bodier are vrought down and placed in them. By this means the stairs of “ue whole tenemont be- come infected. ‘Thinned the American Colony, The cholera scare has thinned tho Amere ican’colony nere perceptibly.
