THE BLACK CLOUDS OF FCHoLERA.-London
April 1.-The Easter vacation has begun in
fhe shadow Of an approaching cholera epi-
dsmic. In Russia the authorities have been
forced to acknowledge the presence Of the
disease in several cities aud provinces, which,
according TO all former official reports, have
been unatflieted since December 18th. In
fourteen Governments Of Southern, South
eastern, Eastern and Northeastern Russia
the deaths have been numbered BY the
score every week for the last six mouths.
These Governments include within their
boundaries mot Of the black earth region,
lands which are known as the granary OF
Russia, hence to the horr ors of tho epidemic
has been added the appalling prospect Of a
return Of the famine, with typhus and other
fevers in its wake.
The deplorable results of, the Russian
system of deception in health reports be-
comes suddenly apparent. In eight Galioisu
villages, near the Russian frontier, the
cholera has already shown itself, and in four
more suspicious places. cases Of choleraic
diseases have been isolated.
Physicians in Vienna and Berlin are al.
| ready prophesying that within four weeks
| all Central Europe will be obliged to revive
the active campaign Of last summer against
| the epidemic. u
