DISPUTE AS TO A SOLDIER'S' LEGAux

THE CHOLERA IN FRANCE AND
SPAIN.

The correspondent of the Sland,ard, telegraphing
from Marseilles on Monday night says: During the
last twenty-four hours nineteen deaths from cholera
have been registered here. One fatal case has also
occurred at Murignane. The heat to-day is excessive,
and it is rendered all the more insupportable by a
burning west wind. The thermometer in the shade
reached ninety-seven degrees Fahrenheit, which is the
higbest temperattne we have had during this summer
or last.

A Paris correspondent, under the same date, says:
M. Tirman, Governor of Algeria, has addressed a
letter to the Prefects of Oran and Algiers, pointing
out to them the danger which would result from the
clandestine landing in Algeria of fugitives from Spain.
M. Tirtnan is convinced that no such landings have
been effected, but he insists on every necessary mea-
sure being taken to prevent such a thing hap-
pening. He info7ms the two Prefects that,
with the object of preventing the possibility
of the cholera being thus imported into Algeria from
Spain, he had demanded the naval authorities to
have the coast watched by the despatch boat Actif.
He has also ordered the Director of the Customs in
Algeria to have the coast closely watched by the
coastguard. He also insti ucts the Prefects to order
the Mayors and the administrators of the native
tribes established along the coast to keep watch at all
the points where landings could be effected. Spanish
or any other vessels seeking to land passengers should
be hindered from doing so. Any passengers who
may have succeeded in reaching land are to be held
prisoners till they can be handed •over to the legal
authorities for violating the sanitary regulations.
