BETTER FEELING IN HAMBURG.

to Check the Plague.
HAMBURG, Sept There has been a con-
siderable change in the panicky feeling prevail
! ing here in consequence of the ravsges o.
cholera. and today more confidence is expressed
in the ability Of the physicians TO cope with the
disease. When The official figures of the new
cases and deaths reported Yesterday were issued
this morning they were eagerly scanned in the
hope that they would show that the di-en,e was
abatinS. The hope Wac realized. for the igures
showed a great falling of both in the number o:
new cases and deaths.
\ general feeling of relief was experienced.
but those acquainted with tie peculiarities of
/ the disease based small expectations upon the
figures. This Is not the first time that the sta
/ tistics have aroused the hope that the scourge
had speat Its fury, but the next day it was rag
ing all The worse for it, temporary cessation.
| There Is a strong suspicion. too, among those
whose duty il il 20 watch and report upon the
! epidemic that in the present corfu-ed condition
of affairs absolute reliance cannot be placed
upon the official figures. In the excitement oc-
casiOned by the scOurge there is scarcely doubt
thai the records are incomI lete and that neither
all the cases nor al the deaths have been re-
/ corded.
| 1t may be that the better feeling among the
! people VINO remain in the city is due in some
measure to apathy regarding the disease. but it
| is certain that "a better feeling does prevail.
ported. while the deaths. according to the
| official figures were only fUrty-iiye.
| The city, however. presents a most funereal
| appearance. There Is scarcely house in the
streets along the water front from which sew
eral victims of the disease have not been taken.
| In some instances houses are entirely vacant
| all their occupants being dead.
There is vet no resumption Of general bust
ness. and so many Of the shops are closed that
the streets look like sunday. There is a steady
stream of vehicles conveying the dead to the
cemeteries and il is thoGght that by tonight hun
dreds of bodies that should have been buried a
day or more ago Will have been disposed of. The
greater part of the 400 bodies reported yester-
day as lying uncared for in the drill shed have
been inferred.
Great interest has been aroused by the SIM
| pie. but seemingly effectual. treatment recon-
mended by Prof Northnagel and Prof Kahler
1t may be that the decrease in the fearful NOR
tality can be ascribed to this treatment, which
is nothing but giving the patients enemas of
warm salt water. 1t is claimed by those who
have followed this course of treatment that its
result is marvellous. In some cases where the
patients were in such state of collapse that it
! was impossible to discern the pulse recovery
has followed the application of the enemss The
claim liz made that the death rate of the city has
been reduced fully so per cent through this
efiicacious method of fighting the disease.
