ugees from the cholera-infected dis
tricts of Spain are said to be crossing
the Pyrenees into France. The French
authorities are doing all they can to
check the tide by rigidly enforcing
the quarantine, but are dismayed by
the great numbers of the refugees.
MADRID, July 27.-The cholera in
Spain has spread to the province Of
Lograuo, where several cases have
occurred. Troops stationed in the
city of Saragossa, in which place
the cholera is almost epidemic, haye
been supplied with guitars, which
they play necessarily, for the pur-
pose of keeping their spirits from
sinking, and thus render them less
liable from an attack of the disease.
The sound of.inkling guitars is heard
issuing from the garrisons and bar
racks throughout the city day and
night.

all but five of the cholera infected
districts in Spain place the number

rono, where several cases have
already occurred. The troops sta
toned in the city of Saratoga, where
the disease is now raging, have been
supplied with guitars to keep up
their spirits. The music of these in
struments can be heard day and night
