COMPLAINTS OF NEGLECT.
BERLIN, Aug. 2s.- The Post publishes q
letter from Hamburg physician making
the gravest charges of neglect against tho
authorities. Not even the excret of
cholera patients, he says, are rendered
innocuous. A sailor attacked with cholera
was left for two hours lying on a pontoon
near the Baumwall before he was removed.
The hospital is crowded and is in an
unsanitary condition. The streets are
swarming with the poorest and dirtiest
people. The Elbe with its paltry dried
banks, is a receptacle for much rot
ting refuse. 1t is the duty of the en-
pire to remedy the existing evil.
The National Ze1tung also comments
strongly upon the attitude of the Hamburg
senate in ignoring the precautions ordered
by Prussia in July.
These comments voice the popular feel.
ing that the time has arrived to abolish the
special privileges guaranteed to single
states to extend the central power of the
empire.
