DEATHS FACE THIS WAY.
TWO CASES soFCaoLERA DEVELOP
IN ENGLAND.

Passengers by Steamer From HAM
burg Allowed to Land Without
proper Precsutions-Two of Them
supseduently Die and the Others
scattered over the Country.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-There is now no doubt
that cholera has at last entered England.
The disease was brought here by the
,tasmer Gemma, which arrived at Graves
end yesterday from Hamburg. Ii was re-
norted that the steamer was infected, but
the authorities after examining the psssen-
GERS allowed them to land. A
few hours after two aliens who
had arrived on the Gemma
were taken sick. They were at once re-
moved to hospital at Gravesend, where
the doctors pronounced their malady
cholera. In spite Of everything that was
done for them they died shortly after they
were admitted. This fact has caused COM
siderable anxiety, but there is no panicky
feeling. The local government board and
health authorities of the various English
ports will see TO it that more strict inspec-
ton is made of vessels and passengers from
infected ports.
The report of the death of two patients at
Gravesend was telegraphed throughout the
country and caused the health authorities
at the various ports to be on the alert for
arrivals from places known to be infected
with cholera. To-day the steamer
Laura, plying between Hamburg and
Lynn Regis, al English port on the
Great Ouse, arrived at Lynn. She was
boarded by the health officials, who found
two cholera suspects on board. The vessel
was at once ordered TO put back to sea.
The officers and passengers protested against
such summary treatment, but the health
officers were obdurate and positively re-
fused to let single person land from the
steamer.' Prince Esterhazy, an attache of
the Austrian embassy here, has been suffer-
ing from an attack Of cholertne, but is now
recovering.
