TIL, Ca,hmere Earshouake.

LONDON, June 5.-An official dispatch
from Sermaguar gives the number of
killed and wounded by the earthquake
there on Sunday and Monday last as
follows: Killed. eighty seven: wounded,
100. Official reports have not been re-
ceived from other points in the wales of
Cashmere affected by the earthquake
shocks, and until they come to hand the
full extent of the calamity cannot be
known.
Unofficial reports, however, are of
such an alarming character as to make
1t more than likely that the earthquake
will prove even more disastrous in its
effects than the first dispatches stated.
Whole cities and towns in the vale are
spoken of as destroyed. and the absence
OF definite news is attributed to the de-
molition of telegraph lines in the gen.
eral wreck and chaos. In consequence
OF the magnitude of the calamity the
numbers of killed and wounded are left
for imagination.

MADRID, June 5.-The cholera cpl
denic Is raging with increased virulenee
at Valencia and other towns in the
southeastern provinces of Spain. The
peasants continue to chafe under the
restrictions imposed by the sani-
tary cordons and by the willful
neglect of the precautions prescribed
by the authorities, they invite and dis
seminate the disease. The report that
cholera has made its appearance in this
city is denied by the Madrid officials,
but this was also the case at Valencia
for many weeks and until after the con-
cealment became impossible. Some
truth is given to the report by the new
and stringent sanitary regulations
which have lately been made and are
rigidly enforced.
