ing a whole month all MussulmanS will fast
from sunrise to sunset, He fears lest the
want of sufficient nourishment and the
drunken revelry INDUCED in by the lower
classes of society after sunset should predis-
pose the population to catch the cholera.
The invincible dislike of the Arab to enter
a hospital is also considered likely to spread
the disease; but the Figaro correspondent
contends that the profound repugnance of
the Arabs to enter hospital is justified by
the badness of those institutions. Moreover,
there is no hospital either at Damietta or
Samanoud, or in any of the little towns.
There are hospitals of the native population
at Cairo and Alexandria, but they are bad in
every respect. A European 5octor : Sener-
ally the nominal, though not the real drec-
tor OF the Arab hospitals At Alexandria
Dr. Warrenhorst is at the head of the native
hospital. 1t is true there is the European
Hospital, kept by the Sisters of Charity and
also the German Hospital, which are both
model establishments" The medical service
in the provinces is, according to this COR
respondent in a most deplorable condition.
In large villages, with several thousand in
habtants, there is scarcely more than one
doctor. AS for medicine there is none, and
the only remedy prescribed is laudanum. In
conclusion, he says that the Sanitary. In
spector-general of lower Egypt, who Is an
Italian, cannot possibly do all the wcIk
which will fall to his share.

YELLOW FEVER.
Discovery of the Disease on Board the
Steamer City of Washington.

Discovery of the Disease Board the
Steamer City of Washington.
HAVANA, July 20.-The steamer City of
Washington, from Vera Cruz, and to sail for
New York on Saturday, is isolated and un-
der observation in the harbor, owing
to there being twenty-seven sick
persons among the passengers and
crew. One death occurred on the passage
from Mexico. The character of the sickness
is not well defined, hut is believed to have
been caused by drinking water taken on
board at Vera Cruz When the steamer left
that port there was no sickness on board, but
when she touched at Progress five or six
cases of sickness were reported, and the num-
ber increased to twenty-seyen on the passage
to Havana.
Later.-The board of health has declared
the sickness to be yellow fever. The suffer
ers will be sent to the hospital. All the pa
tients belong to the crew except two passen-
gers. The ships baker and doctor died last
night. The person who died at sea was a
machinist. The steamer has been fumigated,
and will sail tomorrow for New York.
