/ Cholera in Morocco.
/ WASHINGTON, Oct 3l.-The u. S. Consul
| at Tangier has transmitted dispatch to the
| State department, giving an account of the
fearful ravages of cholera In the interior of
| Morocco. The misery among the people is
| great. Business is almost completely para
/ lyzed, and the cholera is sweeping over the
/ southern and middle provinces. Hundreds
are dying of starvation, and all the miseries
of smallpox and malignant fevers add to
their horrors. Never before has Morocco
! passed through such fearful ordeal. Wild
| and uncertain rumors of the ravages of the
| pestilence in the interior, which are brought
daily to Tangier by refugees, add to the gen.
| eral CONSERVATION. While immense num-
| bers of people are starving in the very streets
/ of Tangier, and merchants are selling all
| breadstuffs at cost. the authorities still per-
| sist in leyying tariff of 10 per cent. on all
! imports of provisions. Add to all these fear
| full visitations the further fact that the
| neighboring counties have almost completely
| cut off Morocco from communication with
| the outside world, and no gloomier picture
can be imagined.

| the British government before appointing
| Cardinal Cu,len's successor recalls former
| reports that an understanding had already
| been arrived at between Great Britain and
| the Vatican with view to pressing Irish
dissatisfaction. The appointment therefore,
| is expected to have an important political
| significance.
