| HAMBuRG, August 90.-The sultriness Of

has caused the cholera to spread with in

abatement of the disease have received
shock
Tonight so new cases and s19 deaths are
reported for tho day. The number
Of interments yesterday was go,
almost three times the average in
heslthful times Many Of the burisls now
take place at night as then there IS not only
less danger of infection, but there are fewer
persons abroad TO be stricken by the sp-
palling frequency of the funerals. Most
bodies are unacoompanied by friends or
relatives
Persons Of the poorer class dying in hos
pitfalls are buried without any attempt at
ceremony. and without having been even
seen by friends or family.

come. The exodus OF families of property
is continuously increasing. The rail-
way stations are full night and day, and

sons and most OF them are virtually empty.

estimated TO be in the millions. The cele-
bration Of Sedan day. anniversary Of the
surrender of Napoleon Third, has been
