burg Exaggerated.
Z BERLIN. Sept. 10.-[ Copyright, 1892, by
New York Associated Press. THE Ber-
lin authorities consider that the foreign
press exaggerates the condition of af-
fairs in Hamburg. Cholera is bad
enough in the poorer and older quarters
of the city, but the middle and upper
classes would not have known
OF the existence of the epidemic, except
for the information CLEANED through the
newspapers. II Hamburg were pest
polluted throughout its bounds, the
imperial board of health would
have assented to the suggestion of
the alarmists to isolate the city and
suburbs. and interdict all communica-
tian with them. The ministers, how
ever, took special advice of Professor
Virchow, Professor Koch and other au-
thorities, and arrived at the conclusion
that a rigorous system of surveillance
would be sufficient protection.
(. A large number of fugitive families
from Hamburg have now sought shelter
ct places in Mecklenburg-S -Schwerin, and
diserse ia almost unknown among them.
Not single case requiring cremation
has occurred here since the ministers
assent to cremation was given.s Az
q matter of fact, Berlin is remark
ably healthy. Among the public here
the scare has utterly vanished. Even
the hotels have now ceased to reject
guests from Hamburg. A panicky feel
ing, however, continues to prevail in
the rural Districts.
Business reports from Hamburg grow
worse. 1t is estimated that the fnan-
cial and commercial losses there already
reach total of zoe, ,OOO. 900 marks.

OF cholera are reported in this city, and
