NO ABATEMENT OF TA4E PEST In
SPAIN AND SERIOUS IN CREASE
IN FRANCE.
THE DOOM OF ROYALTY.

LONDON, Aug. 24-There seems to be
little hope at present OF any abatement
in the cholera epidemic in Spain. A
day when tho returns seem to indicate
a decrease is safe TO be followed by an
increase in the reports OF the next
twelve hours. The misery in the de-
vastated Spanish provinces grows
hourly and it is expected that genera
su description will be shortly opened by
the Lord Mayor for the relief of the
sufferers. Yesterday 3 deaths in Spain
mum bered 1850, and the new cases were
1919
In Albacete the new cases reported
for the twenty-four hours ending with
yesterday were seventy six less. and
the deaths twenty. four less than The
pumb beYs reported on tie 18th in
Granada the new cases were III less
and the deaths 109 less; in Valencia
there were so cases less; in Palencia
there were 1l6 cases snd IL deaths less,
and in Saragossa the new cases were
1913 less and the deaths "a less.
The total number OF deaths in Spain
from the plague has been ", BAT out Of
1877, ,565 cases.
Gibraltar reports one case ashore and
two casss On coal hulk lyi ng in the
harbor.
In Marseilles the cholera is percep-
tibly increasing every hour, and the
situation 10 alarming. Within the past
forty. y.eight hours 200 new cases have
been adm itted to the Pharo Hospital,
and during the same period 200 deaths
from the disease has been reported
within the city limits, besides fifty in
the Southern suburbs. The pest is as-
Isuming form with which the doctors
are unable to cope. Rhe victims d ie
suddenly, without the occurrence of
|diarrh9a or vomiting. The patient
feels a co ldness which cannot be eoun-
teracted by the use OF reactives or even
by the most violent friction. Two hours
after death the body becomes black.
In Toulon the scourge has shown
sudden virulence, fifty people having
died yesterday and to day. At Hyeres
there have bsen four deaths from the
pest on board the French fleet.
The Italian authorities announce that
Italy is entirely free from cholera and
altogether healthy. On the other hand
quarantine has just been enforced
against vessels from Italian ports in
c Constantinople, owing to private ad-
vices received by the Turkish eff GERS
that several cases OF cholera exist

SPAIN AND GERMANY.
LONDON, Aug. 24,-The seizureos;
Caroline Islands by Germany remains
o fruitful subject OF d iscusslon in politi.
cal circles and there is some prospect
that it may lead to serious trouble be-
tween Germany and Spain in a way
hitherto unforeseen. 1t is true that
y Germany has replied iu a most concilia.
,ory, although somewhat patronizing
tnne TO all Spain's protests, which have
been increasingly vigorous. II Ia also
true, and is now fully confirmed, that q
few days before the annexation was
announced, Empsror William wrote
very kind and fatherly letter to King
A lfonso, but in all the correspondence
there has been no promise by Germany
to withdraw from the Carolines, and 1t
her claims by force IN the present state
of the question it might easily result
