CHOLERA in MOROCCO.
The United States consul ut Tangier
transmitted, Nov. 1st,, a dispatch to the
state department, giving an account Of
the fearful rayages of the choleHl in the
interior Of Morocco. The misery
among the people is great, and bus-
ness il almost completely paralyzed.
The cholera is sweeping over
the middle and the south
ern provinces, and hundreds
are dying of starvation. 10 all these
miseries, smallpox and malignant
fevers add to their horrors. Never be-
fore has Morocco passed through such
II fearful ordeal. All the leading Isra-
elites and many Europeans have fled
from Tangier panic-stricken, while wild
and uncertain rumors of the ravages of
the pestlence in the interior which are
brought daily to Tangier by refugees
add to the general CONSERVATION.
While immense numbers OF persons
are starving i'll the very streets of Tan
gier, and, while merchants are sell

ties still persist in levying ~ tariff of
10 per cent on all imports Of provisions.
Add to all these fearful visitations the
further fact that neighboring countries
have almost completely cut Morocco
from communication with the outside
world, and no gloomier picture can be
