Are People In Germany and They Have Cause
To Be-

BlRIi>, Sept. Despite daily assnr-
anccs from officials that all danger from
cholera in Berlin is passed, the people CON
unue to be suspicious and uneasy. In We"
of the persistent falschoods OF the hamhurg
authorities, il is difficult to persuade Berlin
ers that nothing is withheld by the health
board This apprehension has gone Tar
toward tightening the work of the sanitary
inspectors II has enabled them during tn"

The Chief of Police of DilIingcn, l'hcn
ish Prussia, has sent ont the following
notice:

the inhabitants of Dillingen are hereby or

The Berlin dailies continue to attack the
Hamburg authorities for Incompetence hnd
falsrhood, some of them demanding that
Hamburg should not hc allnwcdto exist ny an
