CHOLERA.
The Disease Spreading in Europe
Appears in the British Isles
Alarm in the United States.

them in n serious condition. a
stolier belonging to the steamer
Urania from Hamburg has died
from cholera in Amsterdam. Thir
teen cholera patients were admitted
to the hospital in Bremen. Eighty
new cases of cholera and twenty
four deaths were reported in Havre
on the 2Sth. Twenty persons suffer
ing from choleraic diseases were adj
mitted to the hospitals in Paris the
same day.
Cholera has reached Herv in Turk
estan, and panic prevails among the
inhabitants. The American mer-
chants wanted to close their shops
Immediately, but the governor
threatened to expel them from the
country if they did not continue
business. Should the Americans be
allowed to close their shops it would
cause great distress
On July 6 the native inhabitants
of Tashkend, a town of Asiatic Rus
sia in Syr-Darya, becoming enraged
by the reports that the Russian doc
tors were poisoning all the victims
of cholera in the hospitals, held a
mass meeting and precipitated the
worst riot ever known in that part
of the country. The mob invaded
the Russian quarter, tore down the
house of the Deputy Governor and
stoned him to death. They wreck
ed many neighboring houses and set
fire to the hospital.
The mob increased until it was
5000 strong. Troops from neighbor-
ing towns were hurried to the scene
They were met by the mob, ready to
fight to the death. The soldiers
opened fire, killing sixty and wound
ing several hundred. Then the mob
charged the troops and desperate
struggle followed, in which fifteen
soldiers were killed outright and
many were seriously wounded 1t
looked as though the mob was going
to win, when the soldiers were rein
forced by a large body of Cossacks.
The mob was driven to a mosque,
where another battle was fought.
Altogether about 100 were killed
and 300 wounded.
The United States Government
has taken alarm, as have the author
tiles of some of the chief cities.
The following despatch has been
received at the State Department
from the United States Consul at
Glasgow: "There is cholera out
break here among Russian emigrants
for America"
The Consul at Liverpool cables:
"Cholera is imminent; strongly urge
medical inspection of immigrants
under consular directions with Off
cial disinfection.
Chicago is having all its back
yards cleaned out.
AT San Diego, Cal, it is believed
that the danger of cholera reaching
that port is very remote. There is
danger by the Pacific Mail steamers,
but vessels out many days would
have all dead or convalescent, as the
pest runs its course in two to ten
days. The danger is from vessels
thirty days only from infected ports
or from passengers therefrom who
come overland.
A cablegram to the New York
World says it begins to look as
though cholera had come to England
to stay. The only mitigating features
in what now must be admitted to be
a cholera outbreak are the lateness
of the season and the pronounced
fall of the temperature that has
taken place the last day or two.
Gravesend is the chief seat of the
disease in the London district. The
schooner Helene arriving on tn,
Both had two cases on board, anC
the vessel was quarantined and th'
patients removed to the Londol
Sanitary Hospital AS the schoone
was on her way to America, it Show
how easily the disease could be car
ried across the Atlantic
The Treasury officials at Wash
ington have received assurances o
the effectiveness of the National AM
State quarantine services, and sa
the Department has done all it ca
to prevent cholera gaining admission
to the United States. Collectors o.
the Canadian and Mexican frontier
are instructed to exercise specia
vigilance in the examination of in
migrants and their effects.
