Germany's Annexation of the Caroline
Isiands-Sad Scenes in the Cholera
Stricken Districts--Oyer Sixty Thousand
Deaths in Spain-A ocial-Purity DEM
onstration in London.
SPANISH IRE THOROUGHLY AROUSED.
MADRID, Aug. 24.-The German
demonstration was begun in Madrid yeSter-
pay, and at four o'clock forty thousand per-
sons had assembled on the prado with ban
ners and other emblems. Speeches were
made in Spanish and French denouncing
Bismarck action in annexing the Caro-
lines. The chief speaker was a Spanish
Colonel in full uniform. No insulting
reference was made to Germany, but the
rights of Spain were fully proclaimed. A
procession marched through the streets,
arousing great enthusiasm. Opposite the
Prime Minister'S palace cheers were raised
for the Premier, but he did not appear and
the cheers changed to bowling and whist
ling. Several men scaled the balconies
and planted national flag amid a
storm of enthusiastic cheers. The
clubs, including the Military and the
Arosto, displayed banners. The procession
was headed by democratic leaders. 1t did
not pass through the street on which the
German legation is situated. At a meeting
of the Military Club, General Salamanca
presiding, it was unanimously agreed amid
great excitement to expel the German hon
orary members.
81 BERLIN, Aug. 24.-It is sta led mat
Prince Bismarck shows great surprise at
the extent and bitterness of the protest in
Spain -
the Carolina islands, He disclaims any
idea of deliberately insulting Spain, but
says the action was taken by Ger
many because of the complaints
OF German traders and the delay of Spain
in establishing settled government for
the islands. Spains claim to the islands
is regarded here as shadowy, and they are,
as matter of fact, of no use whatever to
her.
LONDON, Aug. "a. The Standards cor
respondent at Berlin says that in conse-
quence of the furore in Spain, Prince Bis
marck has ordered the German Ministers at
the different foreign courts to hold over the
notes intimating Germany's occupation Of
the CarolineS 1t is thought that COM
promise will be effected as Bismarck is said
to be willing to abandon his claim rather
Than offend Spain permanently.
THE CHOLERA.
MADRID, Aug. 24.-The deaths from
cholera in Spain now reach the enor-
nous total of 61,521. There is only
slight decrease in the mortality, which
fiuctuateS between eighteen hundred and
two thousand day. There are now only
fifteen out of the forty-seyen provinces
which are untouched by the disease In
Granada the scenes are pitiable. Hundreds
OF people are stricken down in the streets
with cholera each day, and no physicians
are at hand to look after their sufferings.
Corpses remain uncoffined, and many
fostering body may be seen lying in the
gutter with no one to remove it. Money is
badly needed.
On Friday there were 4,4S3 new cases of
cholera reported throughout Spain, and
1,441 deaths, Saturday there were 1878
new cases and 1,723 deaths from the dis
ease. Yesterdays returns from all the in
fected districts show total of 1887 new
cases and 1,798 deaths. Senior Villaverde,
the Minister of the interior, who went to
Granada recently, took with him the sum
of $4,000, which will be used in relieving
the cholera sufferers and in establishing
hospitals and cemeteries.
MADRID, Aug. 24.-Minister Foster is
now at La GranJa, where are also the Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs and all the royal
family There are only fifteen out OF forty
seven provinces untouched by the cholera
These are Alaya, Avna Cadiz, Caceres,
Corunna, Guipuzoca, Huelva, Lugo Leon,
Oviedo, Orense, Pontevedra, Santander, Sc
Vile and Vizcaya. The daily mortality in
the peninsula fluctuates from L. 500 to 1000.
MARsEILLEs, Aug. 24.-Chole4a is as
cyIf n ,in1, Il
able to cope with. The victims die sudden
ly, without the occurrence Of diayrhea or
vomiting. The patient feels a GOODNESS
which can not be counteracted by the use
of reactives or even by the most violent
friction. Two hours after death the body
becomes black. Although the epidemic is
not contagious, it is feared that one hun
dred deaths daily will soon be recorded.
Thirty localities in the city are now in
fected with cholera. On Friday there were
140 deaths from the disease. Saturday
there was marked decrease in the mortal
ity OF the disease, only twentys six deaths

IN THE INTEREST OF SOCIAL PURITY.

filled Hyde Park Saturday to take part in
the social purity demonstration. Thousands
of women were in the crowd, and as many
more were in the procession. The demon
stration included societies and associa-
tions of all kinds, and trade and labor
unions, besides scores Of excursion parties
from the provinces. Ten platforms were
erected, from which as many speakers adj
dressed the vast throng. All the vehicles
III the parade were heavily draped in black
and were laden with women in the deepest
mourning. The only relief to the long line
of gloomy black was the wagon which car
ried twenty four little girls dressed in pure
white.
