LONDON, August 3O.-There is no doubt
Great Britain is having visitation from
the dreadful scourge. From Gravesend,
Swansea, Glasgow and Dundee, towns in
England, Scotland and Wales, reports come
of death from the disease, showing that
the efforts of the officials to keep it out of
the country have proved fruitless, and now
this afternoon comes the report that per-
son had died from Asiatic cholera at Boil
ton, large manufacturing town twelve
miles northwest of Manchester. The place
is one Of the principal seats Of English cot
ton manufacture and thousands of mill
operatives live there.
The permission given by the health Of
icials at marlborough for the landing Of
the crew Of the steamer Geronia from Ham
burg promises to have the most serious re-
suits. AS announced in these dispatches,
the vessel was placed in quarantine direct
ly after one of the crew had been attacked
by cholera, but in the meantime a number
their homes. Six of them went to Dundee,
where they reside, while another of the
crew went to Aberdeen, Among those who
went to Dundee was Walker, engineer Of
the Geronia. Shortly after his arrival there
he was taken sick and died in few hours.
Physicians who attended him say there is
no doubt that his death was due to ohol-
era. When it became known that
Walker was dead great excitement
prevailed in Dundee and also in Absr-
deed, where the seventh member of the
crew had gone ashore. Steps were at once
taken by the health officers to isolate the
remaining members Of the crew in Dundee
and the one in Aberdeen until all danger
of their spreading the contagion is past.
Residents of both places, however, believe
the men have been allowed to 20 about
town long enough to spread the disease if
they carried the infection, and there is
widespread anxiety prevailing in every
quarter of these towns. An extraordinary
watch will be kept in both places for the
first appearance Of choleraic disorders. A
sailor arrived at Swansea today from Cork
He was found to be suffering with cholera
and was Immediately removed to the chol-
era hospital. The appearance of the dis
ease in Swansea awakened the port author
tiles to the responsibilities oftheir position
and meeting was summoned to decide
upon measures for the prevention of any
further invasion.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 3O.-The cholera
has reached Merv. in Turkestan, and a
panic prevails among the inhabitants, par
ticularly the Armenian merchants who
wanted to close their shops Immediately
after they became aware of the presence Of
the disease. The governor objected to this
course and threatened TO expel the mer-
chants from the country If they did not
continue business. Should the Armenians

Vladiyavkas, capital of the government Of
Torek, says every town and village in the
government is affected with cholera.

SUSPICION IN LONDON.
LONDON, August 3O.-The first suspicious
case Of disease In London was made public
today. Ida Samyal the four-year-old
daughter of a Russian Jew, who arrived
here on Saturday from Hamburg, was adj
mitted to the London hospital Sunday,
suffering with symptoms Of Asiatic chol-
era. Inquiry made at the hospital today
was met with a statement that she shows
no Improvements. Her parents have not
been affected by the disease. Extensive
measures have been taken by the east end
hospitals in the euent of an extensive out
break of cholera in London. Wards have
been specially set apart for the reception Of
cholera patients and the strictest rules
have been formulated 10 keep both pa
tients and their attendants isolated. The
sanitary authorities have in no
wise relaxed their constant vigilance.
Every day lodging houses are subjected to
rigid inspection, and it may truthfully be
said that they we're never in better sanitary
condition. Inspection will be kept up as
long as there is any danger Of cholera. 1t
is well known that OYer-ripe fruit is a dan
gerous source TO cholera. There is sharp
watch kept that all fruit is in prime con
dition. Today the health authorities made
descent upon the COVent garden market
and found many tons Of unsOund fruit eX-
posed for sale. u was seized and con-
demned.

we're but 1873. This seems to confirm the
conviction Of DR.. Koch that cholera in
this city would disappear as rapidly as it
came.

suburbs Of this city, serious riot occurred

turn TO Hamburg. They refused and after
a frantic resistance were removed TO the
lazarene. In the meantime the police
ordered the show TO be closed The show.
