A FALSE WOOER.

THE CHOLERA ON THE CONTINENT:

A Reuter's despatch from Madrid, dated August
29, says: The official cholera bulletin issued this
morning reports 3575 cases and 1190 deaths through-
out Spain yesterday.
A message, through the same agency, of the 30th
August, says: The official cholera bulletin issued this
morning reports 3617 cases and 1171 deaths in Spain
yesterday. A serious riot has occurred at a village in
the province of Almeria,*where, owing to the great
mortality from cholera, the richer portion of the in-
habitants had taken to flight. The poorer classes,
consisting principally of miners, indignant at being
thus thrown out of employment, attacked several
',wises belonging to the richer inhabitants. The
Civil guard attempted to restore order, but their in-
tervention led to fighting, in which eight persons are
stated to have been killed and 12 wounded. .
A correspondent at Toulon wrote on the 29th ult. :
Eleven deaths from cholera have been registered here
since yesterday evening.
Twenty deaths from cholera occurred at
Toulon on the 30th during the last 24 hours.
The cholera epidemic at Marseilles is perceptibly
decreasing. Out of a total of 67 deaths which
occurred on the 29th ult. 25 were from cholera. The
day's record of the Pharo Hospital reported seven
admissions, nine discharged as cured, four deaths,
and 69 still under treatment.
A Marseilles message of the 30th ult., written at
night, says: The diminution in the mortality from
cholera continues. To-day's returns show only 24
deaths from that disease out of a total of 67. At the
Pharo Hospital to-day there have been five admis-
sions and four deaths. There are 70 patients still
under treatment, of whom 35 are convalescent.
A telegram from Rome, dated Aug. 29th, says: It
has been ascertained that some cases of cholera have
occurred at Trivio, in the vicinity of Gaeta, through
infection from persons who had arrived from Mar-
seilles. The Mayor concealed the outbreak, and has
been dismissed on that account. Otherwise the public
health is excellent throughout the kingdom, and is
now also improving at Trivio.
OUTBREAK IN JAPAN.
It is announced from Nagaski that cholera has
broken out in that city.
A correspondent in Madrid, telegraphing on the
31st ult., says:
The official cholera bulletin issued this morning
reports that 3669 cases and 1193 deaths occurred in
Spain yesterday.
Toulon despatches of the same date read:
10.15 a.m.

The sanitary bulletin records an improvement this
morning, only nine deaths from cholera having been
registered here since five o'clock yesterday evening. They
include one at St. Mandrier. A large number of persons
are leaving the town. One thousand workmen have
already left the arsenal. During the prevalence of
the epidemic the squadron of evolution will be
stationed in the Gulf of San Juan. _

6.45 p.m.
There have been eight mere deaths from cholera
here since the issue of the sanitary bulletin this morn-
ing. Four occurred at St. Mandrier, one at La
Seyne, and one at Entrecasteaux. The day's record
of the St. Mandrier Hospital shows 18 admissions
and 95 still under treatment, and of the Civil Hos-
pital four admissions and 32 under treatment.
The weather is stormy, and a recrudescence of the
epidemic is feared.
10.10 p.m.
During the last 12 hours there have been 13 cases
of cholera and 10 deaths in this city.
According to official statistics published to-day
there have been 223,546 cases of cholera and 82,619
deaths throughout Spain since the outbreak of the
epidemic up to the present time.
A Marseilles message, wired on the evening of
Aug. 31, reports :
The mortality returns for the past month give
2311 deaths, of wilich 956 were from cholera. Of
the latter 750 occurred in the city and 206 in the
hospitals. To-day's bulletin gives 28 deaths from
cholera out of a total of 58. The return of the
Pharo Hospital for the last 24 hours shows five
deaths, 10 admissioßs, eight discharged as cured, arid
67 still under treatment. Notwithstanding the pre-
valence of the epidemic, the city preserves its usual
animated appearance. No shops are closed, the
inhabitants remaining perfectly calm and not betray,
ing any of last year's panic. -
The number of persons leaving the city does not
exceed the average for the corresponding period of
normal years, and there is not the same anxiety to
organise public subscriptions as there was in 1884.
A Gibraltar correspondent, writing on the 31st
ult., says:
The death of a child from cholera is reported to-
day, making 10 deaths in all since the first appear
ance of the disease. Six cases and two deaths

occurred in the Spanish lines yesterday.
News from Rome have arrive& from which we
gather that the public health continues excellent
throughout Italy, except at Trivio, where the sanitary
conditicn has, however, considerably improved.

The official cholera bulletin mum on Tuesday
morning reported 3519 cases and 1069 deaths in Spain
on the preceding day.
The mortality for the past month from cholera in
Spain amounts to nearly fifty thousand, and since the
commencement of the epidemic in March it has des-
troyed ninety-six thousand lives. In the Spanish
lines at Gibraltar the disease is increasing. The
news from Toulon on Wednesday was not encou-
raging; the emigration is continuing at a large rate.
The Deputy Mayor of a small place in the Basses
Alpes was carried off by the cholera on Monday
after a few hours' illness.
