THE FOREIGN MAILS TO BE SENT IN
TARRED SACKS.
WASHINGTON, June %, 10 P. M.-The
Post Office Department has been informed
by the italian Government that in view
of the outbreak of Asiatic cholera in
France the mails from this country, in
tended for delivery in Italy, must be in
closed in tarred sacks. This precaution
is regarded necessary because the Italian
mails pass through England and France
by railway. The Postmaster at New
York has accordingly been instructed to
inclose the mails in creosoted tarpaulin
sacks until supply of tarred sacks can
| be secured.
Superintendent Crawford, of the For
elgn Mails Bureau, said that he did not
| believe there was any danger of an i'm
portatiOn of cholera in direct mails from
! France, because the quarantine officers at
/ New York could be relied upon to inspect
them carefully. The greater part of the
! French mail for this country, however,
| comes via England, and the department
was not Informed that the English Gov
! ernment had adopted precautionary
measures against the dissemination of the
disease through the mails.

/ of the commission. He said the govern
ment hoped to be able to avert all danger
4 of the entry OF the disease into the coun-

disease at Toulon was Asiatic cholera.
He blamed the defective precautions taken
lsby the French Government, and drew
attention to the bad sanitary condition of
the Suez canal.
Herr Won Beitterich said, in reply to
this, that Prince HohenlOhe, the German
Ambassador at Paris, had reported that
