MANY NEW CASES.
The Ravages of the Cholera
Epidemic Continue to Be
Alarming.
Many Deaths Are Reported in
the Vicinity Of Hamburg
and Berlin.

HAMBURG, Aug. 31.-The sultriness of the
atmosphere since early last evening has
caused the cholera to spread with increased
rapidity, and reports oil the near abatement
Of the disease have received a shock. To-
night S3l new cases and 3l9 deaths are re-
ported for the day.
The number of interments yesterday was
$50, almost three times the average in
heathful times. Many of the burials now
take place at night, as then there is not
only less danger of injection but also fewer
people abroad to be panic stricken by the
appalling frequency OF the funerals. Most
bodies are unaccompanled by friends or
relatives. Persons of the poorer class dying
in hospitals ore buried without any at
tempt at ceremony and without having
been even seen by friends or family
The long expected panic seems to have
come. The exodus of families of property
owners is continuous and increasing. 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
necessities are closed. Those that remain
open do hardly tenth of their usual trade.
The cafes are deserted and the restaurants
are without patrons except at meal times.
Six cases of cholera are reported this
evening from the military camp at Lock-
stedt in Holstcin. Many Of the soldiers are
ailing and u temporary hospital :or hand
ling victims OF the plague has been estab-
lisled.

WAsH1NGToN, Aug. 31.-Treasury officials
have received assurances OF the effective
ness Of the national and state quarantine

tions on the subject that are presented, and

ton with the subject of cholera that the
government should declare national quar-
antine against all cholera injected ports.

to about the matter said that the hearty
cooperation OF the national and state quar-
anline services makes the existing quaran-
tine practically n national one.

ties should lail to carry out efficiently their
quarantine regulations for the prevention
OF the introduction OF the disease, or ii any
exigcncy should arise requiring such &C.

ernment would take charge OF all quaran-
tine stations, but they see no probability OF
the necessity .or such action at the present

sideration stage. A Gordon OF inspection
