BERLIN, July 3O.--Cholera has to-day
made its appearance In two localities IN
Galicia, and, worse still, nine cases OF the
disease are reported through PressbuTg,
Hungary, as having occurred at Dimazsr,
twenty five miles from that populous Gems
ter. The outbreak in Austrian Galicia, in
the meantime Ia limited TO the frontier vil=
lagos of Molezewa and Szorakowa. The
persons attacked have been isolated. The

outbreak, and urging the Austrian govern
ment TO keep them apprised Of che progress
OF the disease
Regarding the Pressburg cases Austrian
medical men differ some declaring that the
patients are suffering merely from
cholerine, while others insist that the de-
crease is genuine Asiatio cholera. There is
no doubt, however, that the Galicfan
patients have genuine cholera, the disease
having been imported from Rnssie. A
dispatch from Count Won Taafe,
the Austrian prime minister, to
the governor Of Galicia warns rhe latter
that the epidemic cannot fail to cross the
frontier, as many OF the Gallcians are en-

cholera ia certain 20 be introduced into the
country. Count Won T0nfe adds that an
outbreak OF the disease In Galicia would in-
volVe the spread OF the epidemic through
ont central Europe, and requests the gov
ernor to adopt most stringent measures to
prevent the spread of the disease, to urge
the state officials 20 greater energy, 20
secure all the voluntary help no can from
the educated classes, and to more vigorously
enforce the laws in dealing with iguorant
peasants OF Russia as far IA uncleanlinese
and superstition are concerned.
FEELING OF ALARM.
The news from Galicia does not excite
alarm here, but the Pressburg nd vices have
given the authorities a momentary shock.
The proximity Of Vienna and the Likelihood
thet the disease. should it become epidemic,
Will spread along the Danube makes the
news OF serious import. Berlin physicians
now apprehend an early outbreak Of
cholera ia Silesia and Southern Germany,
The Polish Galician frontier will be strictly
cordoned and cases along the ine,
should any occur, can be readily. Isolated,
but 1t will be difficult to repress the epi-
demio once it appears along the upper
reaches of the Danube. While making in
quirles 10 official quarters this evening re-
Rerding cholera in Austria, q representative
or the Associated Press learned that tele-
grams had been received from Breslau, an
nouncing an outbreak Of the disosss there,
three cases having besn reported TO the
authorities aud removed to the hospitals,
where they were placed In special cholera
wards. The physicians cannot yet definitely
pronounce whether the disease from which
the patients are suffering Is cholera or ASH
alto cholera, but the first diagnosis led them
TO suspect that IL is Asiatic cholera Further
instructions were telegrAphed tonight TO
the officials throughout the frontier prov
inoes insisting upon the urgency OF adopt
ing sanitary measures
