BERLIN, July 30.-The cholera has to-day
made its appearance an two localities IN
Galicia, and, worse still. nine cases of the
disease are reported through Pressburg
Hungary, as having occurred at Dimazer
Dabely, twenty-five miles from that popu-
lous center. The outbreak in Austrian
Galicia Is meantime limited To the frontier
villages of Molcszowa and Szcrakowa The
persons attacked nave been isolated.
The Berlin authorities have teleRra Pied
to Vienna asking for full particulars of the
outbreak. aud urging the Austrian govern
ment to keep them apprised of the progress
of the disease. Regarding the Pressburg
cases, Austrian medical men differ, some de-
claring that the patients are suffering
merely from cholerine, while others insist
the disease is genuine Asiatic cholera
There 10 no doubt, however. that the Cali
clan patients have genuine cholera, the
disease having been imported from
Rdssia. A dispatch from Count Won Taafe,
the Austrian Prime Minister. to the Gov
ernor of Galicia. warns the latter that the
epidemic cannot fail to cross the frontier,
as many of the Galicians are engaged in
smuggling, and that by this means the
cholera Is certain TO be introduced INTO the
country. Count Won Taafe adds that au
outbreak OF the disease In Galicia would
involve the spread of the epidemic through
out central Europe and requests the Gov
ernOr to adopt the most stringent measures
to prevent the spread of the disease. to
urge the state officials to greater energy
to secure all the voluntary help he can
from the educated classes, and to more
vigorously enforce the laws in dealing
with the ignorant peasants, most OF whom
are on q level with the peasants of Russia
rs far as uncleanliness and superstition
are concerned. The news from Gallcia
does not create alarm here. but the Press
burg adyices have given the authorities q
momentary shock. The proximity of
Vienna and the likelihood that the disease,
should IL become epidemic, will spread
along the Danube, make the news of seri-
Gus import.
The Berlin ply loians now apprehend an
early outbreak of cholera in Silesia and
frontier will be strictly eordoned. and cases
along the line. should any occur can be
readily isolated, but il will be difficult TO
reprees the epidemic once il appears along
the upper reaches of the Danube. While
making inquiries In official quarters this
evening regarding the cholera in Austria.
il was learned that kilograms had
been received from Breslau announcing
on outbreak of the disease there. of cases
having been reported to the authorities
and removed to the hospitals, where they
were placed in special cholera wards. The
physicians cannot yet definitely pronounce
whether the disease from which the pa
tients are suffering Is cholerine or Asiatic
cholera. but the first diagnosis led them TO
suspect that 1t was the latter. Further in
structions were telegraphed tonight TO the
officials throughout the frontier provinces
insisting upon the urgency of the adoption
| of sanitary measures.
