Cholera has also broken out In Cadel-

era in Valencia. He denied,
however, that any Authenticated case OF
cholera had yet appeared in Madrid. 'The
government" said the Minister, ''would
readOpt the extraordinary precautionary

tenn OF inOculation TO prevent cholera.
Further caees of cholera have appeared
here, which the doctors say are sporadic
