The Cholera at Alexandria.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
TRIESTE, June 26.

The Triester Zeitung of to-day says :—The Italian
steamer Principe Tommaso, and the Austrian
steamer Marco Polo are now in the Theresa
lazaretto. Their passengers (152 in number) are
lodged in the lazarette quarters, as well as circum-
stances permit. All are perfectlj' healthy, and
notwithstanding the great overcrowding in both
vessels—the Italian steamer having brought 173
passengers to Ancona, while the Marco Polo was
crammed with 105—not a single case of serious
illness occurred during the voyage. All contrary
reports are stupid or malicious inventions. Several
travellers, however, concur in admitting that
cholera prevails at Alexandria to a great degree,
and that the majority of the cases have a fatal
issue, but the causes of this are purely local, and
mainly attributable to the wretched sanitary con-
dition of the town. Above 700 carcases of cattle
are said to be lying on the Nile canal alone, and
the water from this source supplies the inhabitants.
A letter from Alexandria on the 19th inst. says :
The measures taken by the Government have
proved entirely useless to meet the extent of the
evil, the first case of which was observed here on
the 10th or 11th ult. The disease prevailed first
in the north-west suburbs near the railway station,
which are inhabited by some 20,000 Arabs, Greeks,
and Maltese, all belonging to the lowest class. It
is remarkable that the epidemic has hitherto only
attacked the port of Alexandria, while hot and
populous Cairo, together with the internal portion
of the country, has remained entirely free. During
the first few days 4.5 to 8 persons died daily, then
the deaths rose to 30.39, and on the 17th 61 fatal
cases were reported.'
" An official telegram from Alexandria, dated
to-day (26th), estimates the number of deaths
hitherto at 1,034, the great majority of which be-
long to the native population. On the 25th 183
persons died out of a total population of 160,000.
Large numbers of inhabitants were leaving the
town.

Arrangements have been made here that per-
sons coming from Alexandria are to be subjected to
a week's quarantine, reckoned from the day of
arrival. Ships are to be ventilated and fumigated;
clothes, furniture, and bedding thoroughly cleaned ;
and goods and letters exposed to the treatment cus-
tomary in Italian ports."
The same paper publishes a report from Alexan-
dria as to the cholera in Mecca, an imperfect account
of which has previously appeared. It says :—" The
Mussulman festivals of the Kurban-Bairan took
place during the first 20 days of May, when
600,000 to 700,000 pilgrims annually assemble in
Mecca and upon Mount Ararat, to celebrate their
pilgrimage with the usual religious ceremonies. The
mode of life, utterly opposed to all rules of dietetic
prudence, pursued by these crowded masses for 10
to 15 days at the holy places, yearly entails a number
of diseases to which many are sacrificed. This year
the cholera, or as the Government prefers to call it,
cholonna—•was added to the customary pests, and
is said to have carried off 20,000 people at Mecca
and upon Gebel Ararat within the short space of
two months. Private accounts place the loss of
pilgrim life at 100,000, an estimate obviously ex-
aggerated, as these do not even include the deaths
by cholera. We, in Alexandria, have no more
exact details of this terrible drama, which made no
extraordinary impression upon the pilgrims them-
selves, who, in their religious fanaticism, believe
every one certain of Paradise who dies during pil-
grimage. The country being at all times inaccessible
to European medical men, the meagre reports we
have are derived from a few Egyptian military
surgeons, ordered by the Government to accompany
the pilgrims from Egypt.
