THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN.

During the first fortnight in .147, in 12 provinces
I of Spain, :93,27/1 canes of cholera occurred, and 9,752
deaths ; but the authorities have reason fur supposing
that many Ca 4., and deatha have been concealed by
the inhabitants in the country districts, who fear the
adoption if severe sanitary precautions. They there.
fore neither call in doctors nor declare the real cater
tof the deaths to the mayors or police, because they
dread the destruction of their clothes an 1 the furni.
tun. and bedding that constitute all their earthly
goods Theme things are seized and burned by the
authorities, without any compensation directly after
the death of cholera patients The higher classes
are even more reluctant in tin large towns to confess
any (nee .4 cholera, and people often connive at the
Hight of fugitive., many .4 whom are even in the first
stage ,4 cholera.
