BERLIN, July 3O.-Cholera has today
made its appearance in two localities In
| Galicia, and, worse still. nine cases of the
disease are reported through Pressburg
| Hungary, as having occurred at DlmaZer
Dabely, twenty-five miles from that popu-
| lous center. The outbreak in Austrian
| Galicia, in the mean time, is limited to
/ the frontier villages of Moliezowky and
! Sczrkaowa. The persons attacked have
| been isolated. Regarding the Pressburg
cases, the Austrian medical men differ,
some declaring that the patients are suf-
| fering merely from cholerine while others
insist that the disease is genuine Asiatic
the Galician patients have genuine
cholera, the disease having been imported
| from Russia.
A dispatch from Count Won Taafe, the
Austrian prime minister, to the governor
| of Galicia warns the latter that the
epidemic cannot fail to cross the frontier,
as many GalIcIans are engaged in SNUG
Cling, and that by this means cholera is
certain to be introduced into the country.
Count Won Taafe advises that an outbreak
of the disease in Galicla would involve the
spread of the epidemic throughout central
Europe, and urges the governor to prevent
the spread of the disease; to urge the state
officers to greater energy; to secure ali 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 level
with the peasants of Russia so far as un-
cleanliness and superstition are concerned.
The news from Galicia does not excite
alarm here, but the Pressburg advlces
have given the authorities a momentary
shock. The proximity of Vienna and the
likelihood that the disease, should it be-
come epidemic, will spread along the Dan
ube, makes the news of serious import.
The Berlin physicians apprehend an early
outbreak Of cholera in SileSia and southern
Germany. The Polish -Galician frontier
will be strictly cordoned, and cases along
the line, should any occur, can be readily
isolated But it will be difficult TO repress
the epidemic once it appears along the
upper reaches of the Danube. In official
quarters this evening kilograms were re-
ceived from Breslau announcing an out
break Of the disease there, three cases haV-
ing been reported to the authorities, and
removed to hospitals, where they were
placed IN special cholera wards. The ply
sicians cannot yet definitely pronounce
whether the disease from which the pa
tients are suffering is cholerine or Aslatic
cholera.
BERLIN, July 30.-The Reichsanzeiger to-
day prints an article on the precautions
which should be taken to prevent the in
PRODUCTION and spread of cholera. The
fact of the publication is taken to indicate
that the authorities consider an epidemic
of cholera in Germany imminent. A
reporter of the Associated Press inter-
viewed Professor Koch, DR.. Virchow and
DR.. Hirsch, all of whom have served upon
sanitary committees in past cholera
epidemics. They agree that the epidemic
may spread to Germany from Russia.
They, however, believe that America will
be exempt from ii, provided, of course,
that proper quarantine measures be taken
by the American authorities.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 30.-The cholera
has decreased In the towns in Russia where
it first made its appearance, but in the
places where it has recently made its ap-
pearance it increases rapidly. 1t has also
broken out in several places heretofore un-
nffectnh
