The Progress of the Cholera.
| The present visitation of cholera. rs re-
ported to US from the countries afflicted.
is characterized by a particular feature
Distinguishing it broadly from the cpl
denies OF former times. Hitherto this
/ disease has always advanced IN certain
| track, presumably from India, toward
the regions OC Western Europe. We
eouid mark its progress stage by stage,
not Railways IN a direct line or without
many capriciOus deviations and Jumps.
ut still generally from the SOUTHEAST
10 the Northwest II was heard Cf in
Persia, Asia Minor, and Turkey; then re
ported from Vienna, from Prague, from
| Warsaw, from Berlin, and from Northern
| Germany, til 1t got to Belgium and Paris.
| After that came our owE turn. The cpl
demic wave struck us at last, ard we suf
fered in proportion to the severity OF the
attack ~ neasuTed against our organized
defences. That is the sketch which would
serve generally for the visita5ions oflS32,
1919, and 1854. .... -l
AT the presen time, not one of these
characteristics is discernibie. We heard
nothing whatever of the cholera a. ca its
route from India It was first reported,
quite a5ruptly, from Alexandra, where
| it ragged terribly, spreading along the
coast to Damietta, and running up thG
Nile to Cairo. Then we heard Of il at
Smyrna, in theIsle of Cyprus, 1T C0nstan-
tinople, and in the villages on the Bos-
phorus. Presently it is reported from An
coma, from Gibara,tar and Malta, from
Marseiles, from Barcelona, and from Va
lenoia. But in no one of these instances,
has it advanced from the sea coast into
the interior, for the case of Cairo can
hardly be considered an exception. 1t
has not spread beyond Aneona, though
the disease in that town was very intense.
Once there was a story of its appearance
in Milan, but that was not confirmed. 1t
has not advanced beyond Marseilless, or
beyond any of the infected ports on the
east coast of Spain.
Southern Italy has been attacked, but
only under similar conditions. Cholera
Is last reported from San N;candrO and
San Ssvoro-the former town close upon
the coast the latter little beyond. These
are the results of a survey ofthe case up
to the present moment. The only eXcep-
tiOn is a report OF The cholera in Hanover,
but this in professional statements Is re-
duced to 'ehOlerine," and it is apparent
ly only such a disorder as occurs most
Autums in London, In short, upon
summary of the evidence, we come to-
this, not that an Asiatic pestilence is ad-
vancing upon US across Europe, but that
there has been an extraordinary outbreak
of cholera IN the basin OF ths lsfitTapsu1.
This marked and special limitation of
the epidemic may not unreasOnably sug-
gest to some hopes of immunity- Within
the basin OF the Mediterranean no shore
has escaped; beyond 1t no cholera has APP
peared. The latest intelligence reports a
panic from Wallachia and Moldavia, but
the disease had not declared itself in
those provinces, though il Is obviously
probable that it might creep into the
Black Sea and make the circuit of those
coasts also. Nevertheless, though we
place these facts before the public, and
leave them to impart such assurance as
they may be thought to convey, we are
far from wishing to inspire any undue |
confidence. Threatening symptoms are
not wanting to teach us timely wisdom /
the CHOLERA IN ITALY AND SPAIN.
From The London Times. Aug, .. 1885.
The last bulletin from Ancona gives Ga
cases of cholera and So deaths from the
l4th to noon On the 18th. and the total
since the disease first appeared as 1,S99
cases and S43 deaths. There was cholera
at San Sevoro tCapitanata). especially
mong the poorly fed lower clases and peo- |
pie were running away At Bologna up to I
the 18th the sanitary state OF the pop
ulation was satisfactory. The King had |
sent 10000 OF from his private purse to
the Snydic of AncOna to assist poor sick !
persons and needy survivors. There is no !
account of cholera having shown itself /
in the other Italian cities a letter from /
Figueas, in Catalonia, says that the town \
is crowded with fugitives from BarcelO I
ma, where there was at that date 18th /

Of some cases of cholera.
In one day $1,000 railway tickets had |
bean issued at the Barcelona statIon.-l
there seems to have been 4
very few cases; on the llth and 18th a
few Of sporadic cholera every summer
these occur at Barcelonia, which nap
peued to carry off well known persons,
and this made great effect on the pec-
Dle. A violent storm on the night Of the
l2th .reshened the air, and on the 18th
there was no case. The average daily
at this season at Barcelona is
30: there was only 80 deaths on the I2th,
10 OF them children: only % on the 18th,
and SO on the I4th, including IL children.
The emigration had nearly ceased, and
it looks altogether as if the Barcelonese
nad been more frightened than hurt.
