ton OF the dreaded scourge. From
dravesend, Swansea, Glasgow and
Dundee reports come of deaths from the
disease, showing that the efforts OF the
health officials to keep 1t out OF the
country have proved truisless. And
now this afternoon comes the report
that person had died Of Asiatic cholera
at Bolton, manufacturing town twelve
miles MOI thwest OF Manchester. The
place Ia one of the principal seats OF
English cotton manufacture and thou.
ands OF mill operatives live there.
The permission given by the health
officials at Middlesboro for the landing
OF the crew OF the steamer Corona, from
hamburg, promises to have most serious
results. Six of the crew went to Dun
dec, whero they reside while another
went to Aberdeen. Shortly after his
arrival there he was taken sick and died
IN few hours. The physicians say no
doubt The doath was due to cholera.
When it became known that Walker
was dead the greatest excitement pre-
vailed in Dundee, and also in Aberde cen.
Steps were at once taken by tho health
officials to isolate the rest of the crew
until all danger OF their spreading con-
tagion is past. Residents OF both places,
however, believe men have been allowed
to go about the towns long enough to
spread the disease if they carried the
infection, and there is widespread anx-
iety prevailing
A sailor arrived at Swansea TO-DAY
from Cork He was found to be suffer
ing with cholera and was immediately
removed to the cholera hospital The
residents of Gravesend we're thrown into
excitement to-day by the arrival of two
emtgrant steamers, one of which was
from Hamburg, while the other was
bound for Hambu The steamer from
Hamburg was the Portia. She was sub
iepted to q most rigid examination and
all passengers were mustered for medi-
cal examination. Not trace OF cholera
was found. The emigrants we're allowed
to land at Tilbury.
a steamer belonging TO the same COM
pany as the Portia has been in ouaran-
tine at CuXhaven on tho Elbe, fifty.
eight miles northwest of Hamburg, for
week owing to two deaths from chol-
era having occurred aboard of her. This
steamer is expected to arrive at Grave
send tonight with large number of
poor immigrants.
The inhabitants of Gravesend are
awaiting her arrival with much appre-
hension. 1t is feared that should an
outbreak occur at Gravesend it would
have grave results. Gravesend is only
twenty miles from London and is a fav-
orite place of holiday resort. The es-
tablishment Of cholera hospital near
the town and the constant arrival of
in migrants from the infected ports will
tend to drive this trade away. The
sanitary system of the town Is anti
quatcd and will prove an excellent fac
tor in spreading the disease. The ex-
element was somewhat allayed this
afternoon by the announcement that
the company which conveys most of the
aliens to Gravesend had decided to cease
its passenger traffic from Hamburg until
the cholera epidemic in that city comes
to an end.
