HAMBURG, Sept. 9.-With cooler
fiftv-two fewer than yesterday. There
have been 4Sl burials, or seventeen
fewer than yesterday. In the hOspl-
tails 2 ,94l patients are under treatment.
Since yesterday afternoon there has
been steady decline of the epidemic
IN the harbor district and tonight but
thirty or forty patients are IN the chol-
era barracks there. The general better
ment OF the crisis IS already apparent
IN the behavior of the people. A
little life has been noticeable in
the streets although a stranger would
still think himself IN city or the dead.
On the promenade along the BurnOn
Alster, which has been deserted since
sept. >. u few persons might have been
seen 1T any time IN the afternoon tax
ing an alrIng. Cafes which have had
hardly ten patrons day doubled their
business. The newspapers seize the
opportunity 10 tell the truth aud reit-
crate their assurances that the plague
has probably done its work. In the
poorer districts no change is apparent.
The lack OF employment must con-
unue there for several weeks yet,
and TO the impoverished working peO-
pie this means so many weeks
on the verge OF starvation. The
general quarantine against ships
from this port has caused virtual sus-
pension of commerce. and "a long as
that quarantine continues thousands of
men will oe debsrred from work on the
water front. General emigration of
