FOREIGN DISPATCHES IN GENERAL,

exodus is increasing.
The Cholera Commission still maintains
absolute reserve regarding DR.. Ferran's dis
covery. 1t is stated to-day that the report
viii be adverse to,the prophylactic proper
ties of microbe incculation, which is re-
garded as probably having no action
whatever, or as being possibly dangerous.
The commission will recon mend that no
inoculstions be permitted for several months,
as the commission seem to be firmly con-
vinced that the effect of the incubation, if
any, is toward the spread Of the disease.
They especially dwell upon the danger of
allowing inoculation in inetecte1 districts,
and it is certain that that the Go vernon will
imprison DR.. Ferran or any person attempt
ing inoculstions or microbic experiments
in towns now free from cholera. Conserva-
tive physiciens however, regard DR.. Ferrans
system as containing possibly

is greatly blamed for visiting only the towns
where cholera had just arrived, or had al
mcst gone, and not where it is raging in
full tolce.
DR.. D. La Granis, Of Boston, has Just re-
turned from Valencia, where he went with
the commission. He has seen all the ex-
pefiments, and declares the epidemic to be.
true Asiatic cholera Of the most malignant
type. There are so to 81 per cent OF deaths
in seven to forty eight hours after the frat
attack. The worst type is in the village of
Cu,jasot, near Valencia. The epidemic was
carried from Alcura by a workman who
washed his clothes in a stream used for
drinking. The inhabitants are poor.
Some live in caves, under the bluffs,
Small Death Rate Among the Inoculated.
At first all who were attacked died. Now
10 per cent die. Lime is used to dettroy the
infection Of the water, but poverty spreads
the disease. DR.. De La Granja believes DR..
Farrsn to be honest, but thinks that his
discoveries have vault. He states from
personal observation that inoculation pro-
duceS no symptoms OF cholera. The sta
sistics include deaths before the incubation
began; hence they are fatally worthless.
He explains the decreased Death rate
among the inoculated by the absolute faith
consequent upon the absence Of fear; also
the great increase Of sanitary precautions,
boiled water, stewed fruit, ETC., and the high
class OF those inoculated. He thinks inocu
lation as safe as any large subeutaneous in
lection, but the carriage Of infected fpcal
matter to new districts for experiments is
extremely dangerous. and is likely to pro.
duce fresh outbreaks. He regards the use
of boiling water and we'll cooked foods
almost certain prophylactics. He predicts
fresh outbreaks in the autumn wherever the
fruit Of an infected district is carried.
