ease that have occurred among the
members of the crew who were allowed
to land upon the arrival of the Corona

Notwithstanding the quarantine that
has been established people from Ham
burg are allowed to land, and the result
of this is shown by the fact that two
new cases of cholera have occurred in
the City road, London.

steamship Peregrine, from Hamburg.
They showed no symptoms of the dis
ease and were permitted to land. They
proceeded to their homes and the disease
appeared. . ..
LIVERPOOL, Ang. 31.-It has been ex-
pected that cholera would be certain to
make its appearance here if anywhere
in England. Every precaution has been
taken to guard against an outbreak, but
the fears of the people were realized
yesterday. Four Russian emigrants
who were about to sail hence for Amer
lea were stricken with the pestilence,
WSteamship agents at Queenstown have
been ordered to fumigate the luggage of

HAMBURG, Aug. 3l.-The sultriness of
the atmosphere since yesterday has
caused the cholera to spread with in
creased rapidity and hopes of the near
abatement of the disease have received
shock. Last night $40 cases and 3lg
deaths were reported for the day. The
number of interments was 300, almost
three times the average in healthful
times. Many of the burials now take
place at night. Most bodies are unac-
companied by friends or relatives. Per-
sons 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.
The long expected panic seems to have
come. The railway stations are full
night and day, and there is difficulty in
finding porters enough to transport the
baggage. Business is dead. Most of
the shops not dealing in the daily neces.
stiles are closed. The celebration of
Sedan Day anniversary Of the surrender
of Napoleon III has been forbidden.
Six cases of cholera were reported last
evening from the military camp at
Lockstedt in Holstein. Many of the
soldiers are ailing, and temporary hos
pital for handling victims of the plague
has been established.
