LONDON, Aug. S0.-The first sus-
picious case of the disease in London
is made public today. A 4.year-old
daughter Of couple of Russian Jews,
who arrived here from Hamburg on
Saturday, was admitted to a London
hospital on Sunday suffering with
symptoms of Asiatic cholera. Inquiry
made at the hospital today con.
cerning her condition was met with
the statement that she shows no i'm
provement. Her parents have not
been affected by the disease. Exten-
sive measures have been taken by the
East End hospitals to meet any de-
mand made upon them in the event of
an extensive outbreak of cholera in
London.
Considerable uneasiness is felt here
because Of the knowledge that cholera
has certainly obtained foothold in
London, and in one of the worst places
in which it could appear. Notwith-
standing the quarantine that has been
established, people from Hamburg
have been allowed to land, and as
result new cases of cholera have oc-
Cured in this city. Some passengers
arrived from Hamburg yesterday.
! They showed no symptoms of the dis
ease and were permitted to land.
They proceeded to their homes and
today the disease appeared. The dis.
| trict is filled with small houses and is
densely populated.
