MADRID, September l4.-The re-
norris of cholera for the week ending
last night, shows that the decrease is
stationary in the provinces of Sau-
Dander and Barcelona and that IN all

has been steady decrease. A lair
ratio in regard TO the latter assertion
is taken from the province of Ora
NADIA; yesterday there were only sew
enty-two cases of cholera and twenty
live deaths reported in that province,
while ON Sunday, the 9th instant,
there were 3Il new cases aud forty
two deaths reported. The Deunes
were generally sung in the churches
throughout Spain yesterday. The Of

escaped by stairways while others de-
scended the fire escapes. Mrs. Rutlin-

about TO lynch him when his wife
pleaded for him on her knees and
prayed TO Heaven and to the mob tC
