HAMBURG, Aug. 29.-The number OF
fresh cases of cholera on Saturday was
1863, the number OF deaths 1877. mcom-
plete returns for the day show that
there are at fewest 500 fresh cases.
The number of deaths has not yet been
ascertained. The mortality from cholera
has raised the number of funerals daily
from an average of thirty-fve to one of
500. The city is not yet panic-striclen,
but the presence of the plague is every
where.
The streets yesterday We're deserted
for the first time since the disease be
gan its ravages. The usual Sunday eX-
cursions were abandoned. NoeNcursiOn
trains were run and the steamers which
usually take out parties lay idle at the
docks.
Prof. Koch declares that there is no
reason for the exaggerated alarm that
prevails in Berlin as the sanitary con-
dition of the city is iTcomparably bet
ter than that of Hamburg. Great sur
prise is expressed at the action OF the
Hamburg authorities in giving the
cholera figures up to Thursday as 573
cases and 194 deaths, whereas the
Reichsanzeirer gives the figures up h
Friday as 1,O2S cases and COS deaths. II
is reported that the Sylvia, bound from
Hamburg to New York. has landed at
Cuxhaven, two of her crew suffering
from cholera.
