stricken Corvette.
PARIS, July 2b.-Iaolated cases Of
cholera ooDtine 10 be reported In various
parts OF Frame, come widely distant
from the infected distrlrt a woman
living At Courbevoie, q village only few
miles from Paris, was seized with
sporadic cholera Thursday. She was
at once conveyed TO the hospital and her
lod ginss weFs thoroughly disinfected.
No apprehension Of further cases Ia
believed to exist In the community.
Two cases Of cholera have occurred at
NArhonne, and at St. NAzaire, a village
not far from Toulon, two deaths from
that disease have occurred. One Of these
deaths was Of an especially pathetic
character. An unknown woman was
seizsd with the dread diseases while pass
ing along the street. She fell PROSTATE
and expired immediately.
A pitiable case ia reported from Mar
settles An old women Of over 70 was
missing for several days. The police at
last forced an entrance into her lodging.
They found her body upon the floor in
such condition that abe must have bsen
dead Tor sJms days. Examinations proved
that she WA q victim Of cholera. She
had lived almost exclusively ON fruit.
The oorVrtte Argentina, whinh vas re
GENTLY at Marseilies, wished 10 take on
coal at Gibraltar. mhs English Ruthori-
ties there forbade this aud threatened to
fire uulsss the vessel at once departed.
The Argentina thereupon pr ooeed to aport
port in Portugal and began oosling, but the
inhabitants Of the port became panic
stricken and compelled the authorities to
order the immediate departure Of the I'M
fortunate vessel. Where the Argentina
Is TO find fuel enough to enable her to re.
turn to Ls Plata appears TO be an In
solvable problem.
THE DISEASE OF A MILD cHARAcTRR-PARIs
UNNECESSARILY GIVEN BERTH BY
TOURISTS.
LONDON, July 26.-The Paris CORE.
spondent OF the Standard says that the
large numbers Of those who recovered
from the cholera shows that the disease
ia mot Of the deadly character which
some previous outbreaks have displayed.
There Is considerable exodus Of
people from Paris who are ap-
prehensive that the epidemic will reach
the capital, but nothing of the nature Of
panic has yet appeared. The oorre-
spondent has never seen Paris so de-
serted as at present. English and American
tourists, he asserts, give Paris wide
berth. such scare, he contends, Is
altogether unjustihed, IS the capital is
better clesnsed, more abundsntly watered
and healthier than any other city in
Europe.
TIE SITUATION AT ARIES.
PARIS, July rs The condition OF
affairs at Aries is deplorable In the ex-
treme. The water supply has been on.
tirely out of owing to an accident in the
hydraulic apparatus. The numerous
funerals Of the cholera victims
have been conducted by men
who were generally drunk. These
funerals have moreover been greatly
retarded by the fact that the car
penters refuse to make oofins for those
who die Of cholera. Nearly all the
bakers and butchers have left
the city. The supply Of food is
consequently scarce and difioult
to obtsin. The panic throughout the
city is simply Undesirable. The cpl
demic appears to be extending. One
death has occurred at Sainte Marie
de Ia Mer. The Inhabitants Of
that town want to expel all the refugees
from Aries. In sig different villages OF
the department of Bouohes du. Rhone
from one two deaths have occurred.
