THE CHOLERA.
The United States Consul Mt Port Mahon,
Minorca, informs the State Department, un-
der date Of August IA, of the arrival at that
quarantine of the Turkish steamer which left
Alexandria with l,S00 pilgrims. The steam
er, he says, comes with 1880 and reports
having left on the way 500 Twenty deaths
occurred from cholera on the passage.
The captain, at his arrival at Port Mahon,
reported all well, but on examination of the
steamer dead bodies were found on board in
sad state of decomposition. The captains
statements are discredited, and the 800 not ac-
counted for may have died by the same dis.
ease The Consul stated thut the accounts
received at that station concur in the opinion
that the cholera is making its why westward;
thus far the cholera has followed the pilgrims,
who, he says, are packed like sardines on
shipboard Their religion does not allow
them when passing to Mecca to sleep on beds,
to wash, or to eat any warm food. They are
covered with filth and vermin, and are spread
ing disease all over the Mediterranean
