FEARFUL MORTALITY IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA
correspondents OF the Austrian Gazette states--and
the report is confirmed by similar statements In
other German papers-that typhus fever is making
terrible havoc in Southern Russia. Among the
troops and militia stationed in Odessa and vicinity,
it RACES with fightful mortality, and is spreading
among the population to such an extent, that all
the hospitals and many private dwellings are filed
with the sick, of whom vast number die daily
More than twenty thousand soldiers are in the hos

the victims there were in one week twelve army
surgeons and four physicians, of whom two were
