CHOLERA IS CLOSE BY.
Havre, Hamburg and Breme" iSepoi'
Many Deaths.

first time since the cholera outbreak IN
Europe the people of the United States
TODAY begin to realize the Imminent
danger of the spread Of the disease 10
this country. Germany has officially pro.
claimed the prevalence Of "cholerlne'
in Hamburg. and it is understood at The
state department that Bremen is also
affected. Bremen, Or Bremerhaven, is
tha home port of the North German
Iloyd line of steamers, and Hamburg is
the port of departure for the Hamburg
American steamers. These two com
panies have two ports OF entry III tne
United States. Their finest ships SAIL 10
New York and three OF the second class
| land their passe ngers and frelghtslh Dal-
| timore. The Baltimore passengers are
| nearly all immigrants who are shipped
| West almost as soon as they land. Inc
| report of an outbreak of cholera IN
Hamburg caused host of letters ana
kilograms to reach the Department, OF
State to-day, and the officials were also
| visited by q number of officials from
| Chicago and other cities which usually
receive the bulk of the European lmml-
grants Besides, those having friends
| in Europe are extremely anxious TO
hear what tie prospects for their safe
return are.
Every incoming vessel from the AT
fected ports will be rigidly examined,
and not one will be allowed to land her
passengers until the health officers pro-
nounce all danger of infection past.
| This will cause great inconvenience to
| Americans returning from abroad, but
they will have to put up with the an
noyance. The Treasury and State de-
partments are cooperating In every
| possible manner to prevent the intro
| duction of the frighttul scourge, and,
| with the precautions now being taken,
there is reason to believe they will sue
coed.
Some days since the vice-consul at
| Teheran, Persia, reported that deaths
| daily reached the large number OF 4OO
persons. He stated that 500 cases had
been treated by the American mission
| hospital, and made strong appeal for
| funds from the United States govern
pose he has made this appeal public,
and the following correspondence on
| the subject between the secretary Of
state and Watson Sperry, the newly
appointed minister to Persia, is pub
| iished:
