PATHOS IN THE PESTS.
PEOPLE BEGINNING TO BE
FOUND DEAD IN HOUSES.

/ parts OF France. A woman living al
Courbevoie, village only a few miles
| from Paris, was seized with sporadic
| cholera Thursday. She was at once con.
| veyed to hospital and her lodging was
thoroughly disinfected. No apprehension
OF further cases is believed to exist in the
community. Two cases of cholera have
occurred at Narbonne and st. Nazaire. a
village not far from Toulon. Two deaths
from the disease have occurred there.
Ohe Oh these deaths was of an especially
pathetic character. An unknown woman
was seized with the dread disease while
passing along the street. She fell PROSTATE
10 the ground and expired Immediately,
A pltlable case is reported from Mar
seliles. An old woman of over 20 wears
was missing for several days. The police
at last forced an entrance into her lodging
and found her body upon the floor in
such condition that she must have been
ueau lot some days. An examination
proved that she was victim of cholera
She had lived almost exclusively on fruit,
Inc corvette Argentina. which was re-
Gently at Marseilles, desired to take on
coal at Gibraltar. The English authOri-
ties there forbade this and threatened TO
ire unless the vessel at once departed.
The Argentina thereupon proceeded TO a
port In Portugal and began coaling, but
the inhabitants Of the port became panic
stricken and compelled the authorities to
order the immediate departure of the uu-
fortunate vessel. Where the Argentina is
to find fuel enough to enable her to return
10 La Plata appears to be an insoluble
problem.
The condition of affairs at Aries is de-
plorable in the extreme. The water sup
ply has been entirely cut of owing to an
accident IN the hydraulic apparatus and
numerous funerals of cholera victims
nave 0een conducted by men who were
generally drunk. These funerals have.
moreover, been greatly retarded bv the
lact that carpenters refuse to make cofiins
Tor those who die Of cholera. Nearly all
the bakers and butchers have left the city.
The supply offOod is consequently scarce
and dltllcultto obtain. The panic through
out the city is simply indescribable. The
epidemic appears to be extending. One
death has occurred at Saintes Maries de
la Mer. The inhabitants of that town
want to eXpel all refugees from Aries. In
SIX dlherent villages Of the department of
Bouches du Phone from one TO two deaths
have occurred.
In Vint Miglia, Italy, there have been
III deaths. In the debate in the Chamber
of Deputies yesterday, in regard to the
French law in regard TO cholera,
Paul Bert described France as after
Spain and Turkey the most backward
country in Europe, so far as sanitation is
concerned.
There were fifteen deaths at Toulon last
night. Five occurred in the hospital. 1t
is feared that the stormy weather will in
crease the epidemic. Six thousand peo-
pie have left ToulOn in the last two days.
The number of deaths at MarseilIes last
evening was sixteen deaths. Between
O'Clock and noon to-day there was only
one death from cholera at Marseilles.
There is large falling off in the number
of cases.
A steamer with cholera aboard arrived
OFF Huelva, IN Spain. The populace was
panic stricken and fed into Portugal.
Reports from Marseilles and Toulon up
to 5:0 O'Clock this afternoon showed that
the condition of affairs in those cities
was steadily improving. The Councillors
of Aries who fled from the city at the ap-
proach of the cholera are to be prose
cuted.
In MarseilIes at 6:50 o'clock tonight
seventeen deaths from cholera had Oc-
Cured since IL o'clock this morning.
The weather was cooler.
At Foulon thirteen deaths from cholera
mad occurred during the day up to
O'Clock tonight. There were three deaths
from that disease at La Sicone today, one
at Draguignar and one at La Roquebru-
sance. Complaints are being made at
Marseilies that measures of precaution
against the spread OF the cholera have
been slackened and that the work of dis
infection is not sufficiently thorough.
TROUBLESOME INCIDENTS.
A number of undertakers were arrested
who were selling clothing and bedding
which belonged to victims ofthe epidemic.
Only 800 persons are at work in the
arsenal at TOulOn. Seven thousand work
men are usually employed there. At the
lazaret in Luganscaty the attendants
secreted the keys to the wine cellar.
Wednesday, at u O'Clock, after having
got at the spirits and INDUCED freely,
they assaulted the Sisters of Charity and
ministers, but a fierce resistance was
offel ed. Soldiers were called, and sue
ceeded in suppressing the outbreak.
Several travellers who were there in
accordance with the quarantine regula-
tiOns were wounded during the disturb
ance. An order has been published at
Metz that all persons arriving from
France at ports in Alsace and Lorraine,
without having certificates ofhealth, will
be expelled from the country.
At Marseilles 80 deaths occurred during
the ? 4hours ending at 0 O'Clock tonight.
At a meeting of the Extreme Left to-
night, it was unanimously decided to send
deputatiOn of nine members of the
Chamber of Deputies, headed by NJ.
Clemence, to Touloh and MarseiIIes to in
quire into the cholera epidemic. The del
egation invite the aid of others similarly
interested.
AT Aries two doctors. who had arrived
from Marseilles to-day, entered the prin-
cipal hotel. The proprietor, who was
about to leave, said to them; ''Here is the
key. am going to leave. Do the best
you can"
THE DEATHS.
The total number of deaths since the
outbreak appeared will reach 1000.
Five hundred persons who were attacked
with the disease have been cured. The
proportion of cures would be greater if
those rendering assistance were better or
ganized. Much prejudice exists among
the lower classes against the doctors.
Many are convinced that they have been
ordered to spread the epidemic by admin
istering poisonous remedies. Some force
physicians to taste their medicines before
they can be prevailed upon to take them.
The doctors are often afraid to enter
houses owing to the hostility of the oceu-
pants.
The Spanish Iazarettos are oyercrowd-
ed, and misery thereby results.
Spain has notified France that the
quarantine regulations will not be raised
until cholera has entirely vanished from
France. All patients, with one excep-
tion, in the Paris hospitals afflicted with
cholera disorders are doing well.
At Maurillon, near Toulon, fifty cases
of cholera were reported Yesterday.
While the disease is decreasing in TouIon
and Marseilles, it is increasing in the
surrounding villages.
THE FEELING AT PARIS.
LONDON, July 25.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Standard SAYS that a large
number of those who recovered from
cholera show that the disease is not of
the same deadly character which some
previous outbreaks have DISPLAYED.
There is a considerable exodus. of people
from Paris who are apprehensfve that the
epidemic will reach the capital, but moth
ing of the nature of panic has vet an
peared. The correspondent has never seen
Paris so deserted as at present. English
and American tourists, he asserts. give
Paris wide berth. Such a scare he con-
tends is altogether unjustified, as the |
capital is better cleaned, more abundantIv
watered and healthier than any other CITY
in Europe.
The government viii send Drs. Klien
and GlDbes to cooperate with the Cholera
Commission in India.
SOUTH AMERICAS QUARANTINE.
BUENos AYREs, July 25.-The Santa.
ry Commissions of Uruguay and those of
the Argentine Republic have declared
their ports closed to vessels from MeIiter-
ranean ports.
