WASHINGTON, d. c., August 25.-The
Vice Consul General at Teheran tele-
graphs that the estimated deaths in
Persia from cholera are $4,000, 5000 In
Meschad, IL, 600 in Tabrizi, 5000 in Te-
heran and 10000 in other places.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 25.-The
| U. S. Consul al Hamburg cabied TO the
State Department this morning as fol-
lows:
"Hamburg authorities admit to-day
that Asiatic cholera has been in Ham
burg since August Is. All vessels and
| luggage leaving Hamburg after that
date ought to be diSinfected in New
York. The Hamburg steamship line
is complying with instructions. Cable
how long quarantine will be imposed"
Sr. PETERSBURG, August 20.-Yes-
| terday's new cases were 147, while the
deaths were 81 in excess OF those re-
ported on Tuesday. Yesterdays totals,
according to the figures, were 5,679 new
cases and 2,743 Deaths
The disease is spreading in this city,
/ but the people now show little concern
about it. Though the number of new
| cases reported here is larger, the death
rate is smaller. The doctors say that
! the disease is less virulent in its charac-
| ter, and that in addition TO this the
number Of deaths has been leSsened by
the better arrangements for the treat
ment of patients.
There has been 70 relaxation Of strict
sanitary regulations, and any violation
is met with prompt punishment.
ANTWERP, August 25.-The excite
ment caused oy the acknowledgement
| Of physicians that Asiatic cholera is in
| the city has not subsidized and those who
can afford to do so are making ready to
| flee TO various places TO escape the dis
ease. There is no appreciate change
in the situation. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the disease reached here
from some vessel from an infected port
and there is considerable expectation
that the authorities did not use the dis
! infection orders. L. has TRANSFERRED
that the first victims were dock
! laoorers. They were taken to
the hospitals where the dock
ers, though they were probably
| fully aware that the disease was ASiatic
cholera, stated to newspaper represen-
tatives and others that it was common
cholera and nothing was to be feared
| from it. They acknowledge that II they
| had reported the presence OF the disease
it would have prevented the spread.
The first victim died almost immedi-
ately after entering the hospital, and
the appearance of the bodies, if nothing
else, was sufficient proof that common
| cholera had not cnuSed death.
The quarantine regulations are being
enforced with great severity. The
authorities are using every known pre-
tentative TO prevent the disease.
! PARIS, August 25.-The condition Of
many of the Jewish emigrants who pass
| through the city Is such that should
! cholera break out among them II would
| find fertile field for its spread. The
| Jews that come state that within
month 1000 Jewish refugees have
| passed through Paris from Russia, most
| OF whom were on their way to the
| United States. Those who have re-
Gently arrived here have been in most
! filthy condition. The places where
! they passed the nights were made so
dirty that it was found necessary to
thoroughly dlsinfect the premises after
they left.
BERLIN, August 25.-In consequence
/ Of the facilities offered for the trans
mission of cholera by means Of sleeping
cars, that service between Hamburg
and Berlin has been suspended for the
present.
A passenger who arrived here to-day
| from Hamburg showed symptoms of the
disease when he reached this city. He
was ut once conveyed to q hospital
where he was isolated. The physicians
are carefully watching the case.
The wife of q merchant OF this city
! died last night, aud ii is believed that
| her death was due to Asiatic cholera.
The Weather residents Of the city
are beginning to grow uneasy, and 10
would not DO surprising II an exodus
should commence,
VIENNA, August 25.-The greatest
| alarm prevails here over the expected
exodus Of residents Of Hamburg to
| Carlsbad, Marienbad and Franzenbad.
Health Commissions are being appoint
ed at all the frOnties stations where
travellers will be examined and disin-
| fected.
The hot weather has set in again with
renewed intensity. The mercury yes
terday reached over 100 degrees in the
shade and number of deaths are re-
ported.
LONDON, August 25.-The Standards
dispatch from Vienna says: "a recent
inspection of the lower quarters Of this
city revealed shocking state OF filth
and over-crowdng. Tons upon tons Of
rotten meat, sausage and fruit in pro-
vision stores aud markets were seized.
The law dealing with these oifenses is
too lenient. Should cholera reach Aus
tria-Hungary the number of victims
will run into tens OF thousands.
HAMBURG, August 25.-The papers
here which have been accused of great
ly exaggerating the situation, turn on
the authorities to-day aud attack them
for persiStently denying the presence
i'm Hamburg of Asiatic cholera until
the violence Of the outbreak made con-
cealment no longer possible. They
claim that If the authorities had admit
ted at the start that the disease was
true cholera, sanitary measures might
have been enforced that would have
prevented the spread OF the disease to
the extent which it has now reached.
