The Cholera in Europe still Con-
tinues.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-The majority of
the reports received here give the
number of deaths from cholera at
Marseilles AT almost double those Of
licially announced. A dispatch TO
Reuters Telegraph Company says
that the sanitary condition ofthe city
is alarming, and that the epidemic is
extending northward.
MADRID, Aug. 20.-The only
wealthy persons who have been at
tackled by the cholera scourge are
public officials who are compelled to
visit the hotbeds of the infection.
Many people are returning to the
city which they consider safer than
the provinces.
Tuesdays returns show that there
were 800 cases and $50 deaths in the
city of Granada and 3IS new cases
and l2J deaths in the province.
Two doctors who went from Mad
rid to Granada have died of the di-
scase. A doctor who saved fourteen
out of fifteen patients in the second
stage of the infection by administer
ing enema of ether, has been autho-
l1zcd to apply the remedy in the hos
pitfalls.

The excitement among the people
of the Canary Islands, caused by a
fear of cholera, amounts to a panic.
They now refuse to permit any per-
sons from Spain to land. They made
an exception in favor of the new Gov
ernor, and allowed him to come
ashore, but received him with riotous
demonstrations and threw stones at
him. The local authorities have re-
signed, and many of the people have
fed to the interior in fear of the APP

public buildings.

The condition of Granada remains
pitiable. Hundreds of people are at
tackled by cholera in single streets
nearly every day. There are no doc
tors and no authorities to look after
victims, who often pass through their
agonies in the streets and expire I'M
attended in the cutters. Most of the
unaffected populace have fled, and the
few healthy citizens that remain are
dispirited and apathctic. COrpscs re-
main uncoflined and unidentified.
The very misery wrought by the
plague has become a nuisance, and
the Government has resorted to the
desperate eXpedient ofcompelling the
soldiers and convicts to carry on the
work Of removing from the public
ways and interring the bodies of the
unknown dead.

era and l,44l deaths from the disease

the place.
