GOTHAM'S GREAT DANGER.
Cholera at the Door of the
Metropolis.
Newly Infected Steamships in
the Harbor.
The Rugia and Normannia Detained
at Quarantine.
Vive Deaths on Each from Cholera on
the Voyage from Hamburg and
Cases of the Disease Still
on Board.
By the Associated Press.
New York, Sept. 3.—Nothing can now
save the metropolis from a great plague,
but absolute compliance on tbe part of
every member of the community witti
the instructions of the board of health
and the quarantine authorities. The
danger is real; it cannot be over-esti
mated. Newly infected steamships ar
rived in the harbor today, with awful
stories of death and suffering. They
were the Rugia and Normannia, both
from Hamburg. The Rugia buried five
steerage passengers at sea and bad five
living cholera patients still on board
when she cast anchor. Tbe Noimannia
buried four steerage passengers, and one
cabin passenger. Sbe had four patients
still alive, one being a member oi ber
crew. It is claimed that tbe cabin pas
senger wbo died on the Normannia was
suffering from diabetes only.
The convalescent cases are considered
very serious, and further deaths are
likely to occur.
Health Officer Jenkins immediately
ordered both ships to the lower bay, ac
soon as the captains of tbe vessels noti
fied him of the condition of affairs.
DEATHS ON THE NORMANNIA.
The first death on board the Norman
nia occurred on August 29th. Carl He
gert, 57 years of age, a second-class pas
senger, had been taken down with a
disease which the ship's physician diag
nosed as cholerine. A sim
ilar case was discovered about
the same time in the steerage,
in the person of Otillie Harm, a child
11 months of age. 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.
When Hegert's death, on August 29th,
was followed by the death of the other
patient, a child in the steerage, August
30th, the surgeon of the ship recognized
tbe serious condition of affairs. He at
once took all possible precautions to
prevent the disease from spreading
among the other passengers on the ves
sel. Notwithstanding these efforts}
several other illnesses Of a like nature
were soou discovered. The surgeon
carefully isolated all patients, and per
sonally saw that the utmost care was
exercised by the persons engaged in
nursing them, to avoid communicating
the disease to others.
PANIC-STRICKEN PASSENGERS.
There wae great alarm among the
passengers when they learned that the
dread disease had appeared on board
the vessel. The ignorant steerage
passengers were completely panic
stricken upon learning that cholera had
appeared among them. They lost their
heads entirely, and appeared to be in
capable to help themselves in the
slightest respect.
The captain and surgeon ordered a
careful watch kept over the steerage
passengers in order that they might not
heedlessly run into danger of catching
the disease. But in spite of all tin pre
cautions they took, more cases soon de
veloped. The symptoms in nearly
all were alike. Five more were taken
ill in the steerage, four being
children—Adolph Scholtz, 1 year old;
Willie Ham, 3 year old; Rudolph
Hernisbe, 11 months old; and Selma
Hern, 5 years old. The cholera symp
toms developed rapidly in these casea,
as in the previous ones, and in each tbe
diagnosis of the surgeon Bhowed the
disease to be what he termed cholerine.
There was no further appearance of
anything resembling cholera among the
first cabin passengers, after the death
of Hegemann, but another death oc
curred in the steerage from cholerine on
the following day. 1 Adolph Schultz and
Morris Bonheiaer. steerage pasgengers,
ahowed aymptoms of cholerine, and
were promptly isolated. One of the
crew, also, Heinrich Frankheiser, waa
taken ill with the disease. No further
deaths occurred on the voyage. All
who have been taken down with the
disease, however, were still kept iso
lated, when the Normannia arrived at
port early this morning.
THE RUGIA'S EXPERIENCE.
The Rugia, the other pest ship of the
Hamburg-American Packet company,
which arrived in port today with chol
erine, left Hamburg August 21st. The
first death occurred a week after leaving
port. Carl and Bertha Koenig were
taken ill about the same time. Their
symptoms were alike, and such that the
ship's surgeon immediately pronounced
the disease cholerine. The commander
of the Rugia and the surgeon did every
thing to prevent the spread of the dis
ease, but the ignorance and recklessness
of the steerage passengers made their
efforts of no avail. Other cases of a
similar kind coon appeared, and seven
more paasengera were taken down with
the disease. Elein Pogaaki, Paul Koe
nig, Johanna Bust, Aurion Petera and
Kosmio Dispalo were still in the hos
pital when the Rugia was sighted off
Fire Island, at 11:15 o'clock this morn
ing.
DR. JENKINS' STATEMENT.
It was 11:45 at quarantine when Dr.
Jenkins received the reporters. He
said: "Gentlemen, according to my re
ports there were nine cases of cholerine
on the Rugia and four deaths. On the
Normannia there were five deaths and
there are now four convalescents. On
the Moravia there is one additional case
today, an 8-year-old boy. All tbe dead
were buried at sea. All the convales
cent cases are serious and further deaths
are expected today. Theae patients
have been isolated in tbe ship's bospi
tale. All three ehipa will be held in
definitely."
Dr. Jenkins has issued the strictest
kind of orders, and under no circum
stances will he allow anyone to approach
tbe vessels quarantined.
Further cases are anticipated on the
Moravia also, although the convales
cents were reparted as doing welt this
morning. The patients on board the
Normannia, Rugia and Moravia would,
it was said, probably be transferred to
Swinburne island today.
Although the diagnosis in each case
waß cholerine, Dr. Jenkins did nor doubt
that the scourge was cholera. He says
he continues hopeful of keeping the dis
ease in tbe lower bay.
WORSE THINGS ANTICIPATED.
An even worse state of affairs is an
ticipated on the two additional vessels
expected from' Hamburg within the
next week, which left later than today's
arrivals, and when the disease hat! made
greater ravages in Hamburg. Almost
oil of the dead and sick on the Rugia
and Normannia hail from Hamburg or
near by ports, few are residents of this
country.
The quarantine officers are in a state
of nervous excitement. It must not be
understood that they are frightened,
but they are hoping for the best, and
the Normannia is expected to get by
safely. Wben the saloon passengers on
the vessel will get off is a question Dr.
Jenkins has not yet decided.
EXPERTS SENT FOR.
Dr. Jenkins early this morning tele
graphed for Prof. Herrmann Biggs, con
sulting pathologist of the health'depart
ment, and Prof. Wm. Wells, professor
of bacteriology in Johns Hopkins uni
versity. They arrived shortly after
noon, and without waiting for lunch,
Dr. Jenkins took them down to the
steamboat wharf.
"What will you do with those stricken
with the disease on the Rugia, Norman
nia and Moravia, doctor?" a reporter
asked.
"We will," he Teplied, "remove them
to Swinburne island just as fast as we
possibly can."
Dr. Jenkins proceeded to Swinburne
island and then to the infected vessels
in the lower quarantine, and prepara
tions began for the transfer of the
patients.
MAILS FUMIGATED AND LANDED.
At 8 p. m. the Normannia's mail hav
ing been thoroughly fumigated, was
placed on board the steamboat John £.
Moore, and taken to New \ ork.
The steamer Umbria left quarantine
for the pier at 5:30 this afternoon.
All the first and second class passen
gers were transferred from the City of
Rome about 5 o'clock, and the steamer
lest for the pier at 6:30 p. m.
Tomorrow Dr. Jenkins proposes to es
tablish a quarantine patrol in the lower
bay and keep passing vessels and news
paper tugs, thousands of feet from the
Rugia and Normannia. A fisherman at
tempted to land on South beach this
morning, but the police would not let
him. He came to Dr. Jenkins for per
mission to land his boat. Dr. Jenkins
toki htm tbat he end ail crafts would
have to stop working and fishing in the
bay hereafter, and will issue an order to
that effect.
ANXIOUS FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.
There was great excitement at the
office of the Hamburg-American Packet
company when the news got out that
the Rugia and Normannia had arrived
with cholera on board. Hundreds of
persons called in search of information
about friends or relatives and pas
sengers on the ships. Every
cleik in the company's office was
kept busy for hours answering
questions. Many letters were written
to persons known to be on board and
left at the company's office for delivery
through the quarantine officers, who go
on board. Other letters were addressed
to the captains of the ships, asking for
information about persons who are sup
posed to be on board.
When asked how long tbe cabin pas
sengers would be detained at quaran
tine, the clerks in the company's office
promptly answered that they would
not be detained more than five days,
probably not so long. They did not say
on what information they based this
statement. They even intimated that
the vessels might not be detained as
long as five days.
THE BTUBBENHUBK ALL BIGHT.
Captain Bordenhauser of the Ham
burg-American Packet Steamship com
pany went down to quarantine today.
He reported that he went alongside the
steamship Stubbenhurk. The captain
of the steamship told him that all of the
passengers were well, and that none had
died of cholera or anything resembling
it during the voyage. Dr. Danborn also
told him all were well on board.
The ship S. D. Carlton will be taken
to the lower bay tomorrow and will be
headquarters fo»a police squad which
will patrol the waters to see that there
is no communication with the detained
steamers.
A number of steerage passengers who
have been under the supervision of the
health authorities for several days, have
been released from Ellis island. There
are 765 steerage passengers from the
Royal Netherlands steamer Veendam,
and 586 passengers of the Copenhagen
steamer Island. The Lahn's passengers,
to the number of 483, are also among the
departures. Those who were brought
by the Gallia and Inman line steamship
City of Berlin, are still detained.
A SCARE IN BROOKLYN.
The Brooklyn Eagle said today:
"Great excitement waa occasioned at
the health office last night when Dr.
Edward Gretter reported that he had a
suspicious case in a tenement house at
236 Johnson avenue. He said Lucy
Cord tea, a married woman, 34 years of
age, was dying from a disease that had
many eymptomß of cholera. A
health inepector waa sent to make
an immediate examination. Tbe
result of hia visit waß a report that the
patient waa Buffering from cholera mor
bus. Mra. Cordte9 died at 4 o'clock this
morning, and again there was a 11 utter
of excitement when Dr. Gretter sent in
a certificate to the effect that cholerine
was the cause of death. Later, he ap
peared at the health office and explained
that he used "cholerine," a German
word, by mistake for cholera morbua.
The woman really died from cholera
morbus, he said.
THREE MORE DEATHS.
Dr. Jenkins went to the lower quaran
tine, and upon his return it was learned
tbat three more deaths had occurred i

on the infected steamers —two on the
Normannia and one on the Bugia.
A child, which wsa taken sick on
board of the Moravia today, ia still
alive, but in a critical condition.
Official contradiction ia given to the
rumor that there is sickness on board
tbe Stubbenhurk
The passengers will be taken off the
infected steamers and put on Swinburne
island. The bodies of tbe three persons
who died today will be cremated on
Swinburne island tomorrow afternoon.
ANOTHER BUSPECT ARRIVES.
La Bourgogne, of the French line,
baa arrived. Being on tbe suspect li.it,
Biie was sent to join the Normannia and
others at lower quarantine anchorage.
The captain had not heard of any chol
era.
New York, Sept. 3.—The Herald says
the three cholera victims who died on
the Normannia and Bugia yesterday
were cremated late last night at Swin
burne Ma^d.
WASHINGTON REPORTS.
Official Correspondonce Concerning the
Cholera Quarantine.
Washington, Sept. 3.—This morning,
Dr. Wyman received a telegram from
the provincial secretary of Canada, in
which he aaya he has recommended a
total suspension of immigration, and
that all vessels arriving from infected
ports be detained at quarantine from
eight to twenty days after disinfection,
should cholera be aboard. He also rec
ommended that the federal government
extend the prohibition of rags to all
European and Asiatic ports, and he re
quested and obtained all latitude from
th*provincial government, and a proc
lamation putting in force epocial clauses
regarding epidemics is ready to be
issued when required.
Dr. Wyman received a telegram from
the quarantine officer at Norfolk, Ya.,
stating that be would declare a quaran
tine against New York steamers, if it is
true that Dr. Jenkins has refused to
abide by the twenty-day quarantine cir
cular.
A letter ia received from Surgeon
Wheeler, at Ellia island, stating that the
preaident'a order meeta with almoat
universal approval.
The attitude of Dr. Jenkins, New
York's health officer, was the engrossing
topic in official circles in the city today,
and various were the comments made.
Fear is expressed tbat the moral effect
of it may be such as to have some influ
ence on the health officers at other
ports, who may be led to declare inde
pendence of the president's proclama
tion, as Dr. Jenkins is reported to have
done.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding said
that there was no occasion for any
friction in the administration of quar
antine regulations, and he did not think
any existed. Dr. Jenkins has been
very busy, and has not had time to read
the proclamation carefully. He waß
satisfied thinga would properly adjust
themselves.
A dispatch from Consul General Ed
wards, at Berlin, received at the state
department today, said cholera is of
ficially declared to exist in forty places
in North Germany. The city of Ham
burg shows an increase in the number
of caaea and a decrease in the death rate.
By direction of the postmaster gen
eral, the superintendent of the foreign
mail service, sent a telegram to ths
postmasters at Detroit, Port Huron,
Sault Ste Marie, Suspension Bridge,
MorrißtowD, Ogdeneburg, Rouse's
Point, Newport, St. Albans and Neche,
N. D., saying the office designated was
one point at which mails reaching
the United States from Canada
shall be fumigated. The telegram
said the railway poatmaaters were in
structed to turn the mail over to the
local poatmasters and it was thoroughly
fumigated by means of sulphur. The
postmaster at Philadelphia ia advised
that the postmaster-general desires all
foreign mails coming from infected ports
to be thoroughly fumigated, and ar
rangements made whereby passengers
on vessels in quarantine can communi
cate by mail with friends on shore.
Dr. John B. Hamilton, formerly but
geon-general of the marine hospital ser
vice, arrived this afternoon, for the pur
pose of consulting with the officials on
the cholera situation. It is said the
quarantine along the Canadian border
will probably be turned over to his Im
mediate direction.
The department of state has distrib
uted to the medical corps of the army
and navy, a supply of Dr. Shakespeare'a
Report on Cholera in Europe and India.
The officers of the marine hospital ser
vice, various state authorities, and some
private practitioners, are also obtaining
copies of the report.
Dr. Wyman this evening issued in
structions to the customs and, medical
officers, directing them to inspect all
immigrants coming from any districts
where cholera is prevailing, and enforce
the provisions of tbe department circu
lars of July Bth, August 17th and 24th.
Dr. Wyman this evening received a
dispatch from Ottawa, Baying a steam
disinfector and mercuric drench will be
ready for use at Grosse island next
week, and similar appliances are being
obtained for other quarantine stations.
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
A. General Clean-Up Began—Panama
Steamer* Quarantined.
San Francisco, Sept. 3.—The health
officers here are neglecting no precau
tions to prevent the introduction of
cholera. Chinatown has been thor
oughly cleaned and four wagon loads of
chloride of lime will be sprinkled
throughout that section. The Latin
quarter and other districts will also be
cleaned. Fruit Merchants and markets
have been notified to clean up their es
tablishments and dispose of the garbage
under the penalty of arrest. George C.
Perkins, president of tbe Pacific Coast
Steamship company, today telegraphed
his agents not to accept any
Bteerage passengers from Canada,
Mr. Perkins said, although this older
would mean a considerable loss to the
company, he issued it to aid the govern
ment in its efforts to keep out the dis
ease, as, in his opinion, if cholera
reaches the Pacific coast, it will come
by way of Canada.
The steamer City of Panama arrived
from Panama this morning, and was put
in quarantine. Dr. Lawler examined
the vessel and, after fumigating her,
allowed her to go. Collector
Phelps, howeverjwould not permit the
vessel to dock, insisting on carrying ont
to the letter the instrnctions received

from Washington. General Agent Cen
ter, of tho Pacific Mail comnany, ob
jected strenuously, and quite a lengthy
discussion followed. Collector Phelpa
decided to lay the case bsfore the sec
retary of the treasury.
The San Juan will be in from Panama
and way ports tomorrow, and will share
tbe same fate as the City of Panama un
til the treasury department is heard
from.
THE EPIDEMIC IN EUROPE.
Reports From Nearly All Parts Are
. More Encouraging.
London, Sept. 3.—Reports received
from various places tonight in regard to
the status of the cholera epidemic are of
a more encouraging character than any
since the disease began its ravages. In
telligence in regard to the condition oi
affairs in Hamburg shows that a de
crease in the violence of the epidemic
there is slowly becoming noticeable,
although in the center and Alster quar
ters of the city the ambulances at pres
ent are busier than ever. Yesterday
590 victims were deposited in the earth,
and arrangements were made for the
burial of 450 bodies today. The only
exception to the generally reassuring
advices received, is news regarding the
progress of the epidemic in Paris. At
a late hour tonight a telegram reported
that there was a slight increase in the
number of new cases and deaths.
The local government board an
nounces that with the exception of one
or two cases that are now recovering,
there is not a case of cholera in England
or Wales.
The Columbia sailed from Southamp
ton this evening for New York. The
only persons the vessel carries, besides
the officers and crew, are 436 cabin pas
sengers.
The Inman line steamer City of New
York, for New York ; the American line
steamer Ohio, for Philadelphia; the
White Star steamer Britanic, for New
York, and the Cunard line steamer Cat
alonia for Boston, all have steerage pas
sengers aboard. It was said all vessels
sailing from Liverpool for American
ports would carry no steerage passen
gers. Literally this was true, for all
these passengers boarded the steamers
at Queenstown.
Paris, Sept. 3.—An official leport on
the progress of the cholera epidemic in
this city, states that 74 fresh cases of
the disease occurred Thursday and 59
fresh cases and 42 deaths Friday.
Cholera has appeared in St. Uuen. One
person died and two cases are now un
der treatment.
In consequence of President Harri
son's proclamation for a twenty days'
quarantine, and the subsequent decision
of the trans-Atlantic companies to carry
no more .steerage passengers, groups of
Italians were intercepted in this city
last night, bound for America via Havre,
and informed they could not proceed.
They have been sent back to Italy at the
expense of the French government.
Hamburg, Sept. 3.—The imperial
board of health reports 626 new cases
and 116 deaths from cholera in Ham
burg yesterday. These figures show a
decrease of only two from the number
of cases reported the previous day, while
the number of deaths is exactly tbe
same. A few cases and a few deaths are
reported at Stade. Harbuig, and Grosae-
Strelitz.
ALARM DYING OUT.
People Getting Over the Cholera Scare
In tbe Fatherland.
Berlin, Sept. 3.—[Copyright, 1892, by
New York Associated Piess.]—The pub
lic alarm occasioned by cholera ia fast
dying out. Cool weather and abund
ant rain - storms are keeping
down diseases stimulating cholera,
and all these influences are restoring a
general sense of security. Cases re
sembling cholera are rare enough, espe
cially in Charlottenburg. Undoubted
cases of Asiatic cholera are taken to the
Moabite hospital. All are traceable to
Hamburg. Although there is no sign
that the disease is spreading here, the
authorities have not relaxed precaution.
President Harrison's circular is main
ly regarded here as justifying more
rigorous measures to stop Russian or
other emigrants from entering Germany.
Henceforth the frontiers will be closed
absolutely against Russian emigrants,
and. in the case of those from other
countries, none will be permitted to enter
Germany unless the companies convey
ing them to their final destination guar
antee the fulfillment of their contract.
Immigrants from anywhere will be dis
infected and their luggage fumigated.
Medical papers support the agitation for
the compulsory cremation of the
cholera victims.
Better news comes from Hamburg,
though the city is one immense hos
pital. A high o«rman official, just re
turned from Hamburg, told a represent
ative of the Associated Press today that
the sanitary condition of the city is still
frightful, though enforcements of active
remedial measures are proceeding.
The cholera scare has thinned the
American colony here perceptibly.
Hundreds of Americans have left for the
mountains, while others have gone to
England.
Rabbi Schrelber Vindicated.
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 3.—The inves
tigation made by a special committee of
the congregation into the charges against
Rabbi E. Schreiber, upon his demand
for such investigation, baa resulted
in the complete vindication of that gen
tleman. The committee unanimously
reports: "Such charges are false, and
there is nothing in them to throw the
least stain on our worthy rabbi. The
committee make this report under
oath."
It develops that 'the charges were the
result of a schism between the orthodox
and reform elements of the congregation.
Dr. Schreiber preaches reformed Judaism,
and has written a number of works
thereon. He was for several years a
resident of Los Angeles.
