again increasing, with the return of
warm weather. Sixteen new cases
were reported, of which seven have
been fatal. A very bad state of affairs
prevails on Wards Island; several per-

demic could be controlled. A cholera
nest has been discovered in the lower
part of Viiet street, and at No. Ito
Mulberry street. There were four
cases of cholera In one room In Brook
Ign; the disease also found more VIC
tins, eleven cases being reported. On
Governors Island affairs look promis-
ing, no new cases having occurred. =
The number of burial permits since
Sunday last was 400, and the victims OF
fatal cases of cholera 90, which gives a
more favorable report than during the
same number of days last week
