Government omciaIs Alert.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. August 29.-Govern-
ment officials arc fully alive to Che added
danger of introducing cholera into this
country from Europe arising out
of the fact that it has appeared
in England on It's journey westward
Acting Secretary Spslding said to-day
that all the necessary regulations prescrib-
ing precautions against its Introduction
had been sent 20 Government oifi-
cials along the Atlantic seaboard and
along the border. and the only
thing 10 do now was TO see that they were
strictly enforced. II more stringent or bet
ter methods than those now ia force were
suggested or occurred TO him he would at
once adopt them. Cities of individuals
could do much in a sanitary sense In re-
straining the introduction OF cholera by
keeping their cities and premises free from
garbage.
Bearing on this latter point was a report
from public hygiene committee OF Paris,
France, made 10 the French Ministry ana
forwarded to the State Department. This
report says that the cholera in the Depart
meut of the Seine was caused by the use oil
the polluted waters of the river Seine. .,
Figures arc given showing that wnile
there we're from July 10th 10 August 7th.
1875 deaths from cholera in the suburbs
Of Paris. in Paris there were only
forty-six deaths from the disease.
The people in the suburbs used Seine
water almost exclusively, while those IN
Paris did not use il. The French army have
but few cases of cholera, the water the SOL
diers use being filtered or boiled or spring
water.
