uras taken to combat ii. He deVotes sevs
ersl hours daily to studying the epidemic.

Who had lust arrived from Hamburg, and

The woman and her husband were i'm
medlately sent to the Moabite hospital,
rhere thew are still detained. Frequent
cases Of cholerine are reported.
BERLIN IN GOOD CONDITION.
Prof. Koch declares that there Is no
reason for the exaggerated alarm that pre-
vails in Berlin, as the sanitary condition of
the CITY is incomparably better than that
Of Hamburg Great surprise is expressed
at the action of the Hamburg authorities in
giving cholera figures up to Thursday as
573 cases and 124 deaths, whereas the
ReichsdnEeiger gives the figures up 70 FRI
dav as ,O28 cases and S5S deaths. 1t is re-
norted that the steamer Sylvia bound from
hamburg to New York has landed at Cux-
haven, two of her crew suffering from the
cholera.
CHARGES OF NEGLIGENCE.
The Post publishes letter from Ham
burg physician which makes the gravest
charges of neglect against the authorities.
Not even the excreta Of cholera patients"
be says, "are rendered innocuous. A
sailor attacked with cholera was left
for two hours lying on pom
toon near the Baum wall before
he was removed. The cholera hospital is
crowded and is in an unsanitary condition.
The streets are swerming with the poorest
and dirtiest people. The Elbe, with its
partly dried banks, is q receptacle for much
rotting refuse 1t is the duty OF the en-
plre to remedy the existing evils, and az
once"
The National Zettung also comments
strongly upon the attitude Of the Hamburg
Senate in ignoring the precautions ordered
by Prussia in July and expresses hope
that the present state Of affairs will lead to
bill that will enable the labors OF the i'm
perial sanitary office to benefit the whole
nation.
The comments voice the popular feeling
that the time has arrived to abolish the
special privileges guaranteed to single
the empire.

As no further cases of cholera appeared
among the passengers OF the steamship
Georana at Gravesend from Hamburg, the
immigrants have been allowed to disem-
bark. However, as a further precaution,
they will be obliged to remain three days
more under canvas on the ground OF the
Gravesend hospital. The stricken seamen
died tonight.
The steamer Talavera arrived at Grimsby
from Hamburg to-day with two sailors
suffering from cholera symptoms. They
