ease.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 3.-The official
returns for the empire Aug. 20 are as
follows: New cases, 5,273; deaths, 2,722.
Com pared with the figures of Aug.
29 this Is an increase of Ala new cases
and 1893 deaths. These figures, though
official, are known to be incomplete,
for as has been before stated, many Of
the smaller villages in which the dis.
case is known to exist are not heard
from, il heard from at all, until too late
to incorporate their returns in the
official total.
1t is thought. too, that in many I'M
freqhented parts of the several govern
ments in which the epidemic is preva-
lent that no reports as to the cases and
deaths are made.
In st. Petersburg there is no trouble
In getting the exact figures. The city
returns for yesterday give total of 144
new cases and "a deaths. This is an in
crease of 2l new cases and Ia deaths
compared with the returns of Wednes-
day
tits not believed that the scourge has
spent its strength, though false hopes
are sometimes, as yesterday, kindled by
marked falling off in the ravages of
the epidemic.
1t is thought that before the disease
dies out. for no one believes it will dis
appear through the efforts of the doc
tors, the total number of deaths through
ont Russia will reach an unparalleled
figure.
Two Thousand Die a Day.
Conservative estimates of the total
already reached places the number of
cholera deaths at 1000, and it will be
seen that with this total being added to
daily by over two thousand. that the
mortality, when the disease shall have
Disappeared, will reach an appalling
total.
