ST. PETERSBURG, March 30.-Cholera
has made it's appearance again in this
city, and it is known that fatal cases are
of daily occurrence, although the au-
thorltles have not resumed their policy
OF last year Of making regular daily an
nouncement of the new cases and
deaths. At present the authorities are
pursuing a policy of suppression and
withhold from the public all informa-
ton as to the spread of the disease.
Very disquieting rumors have been
received from the interior Of Russia,
and the minister Of the interi is tax
ing action which indicates that the gov
eminent must possess special informa-
ton of the gravest character. The
minister has ordered the re-opening
of the medico- sanitary stations in
the Volga provinces, where the
cholera carried off many thousands
last year; and special steamers with
sanitary stats will cruise in the river,
stopping along the Volga to pick up any
cholera patient or any dead from cnoi-
era-stricken vessels plying on that
stream. The government is also caus-
ing to be formed sanitary commissions
which will look after the health of the
people at the points to be reached
through the railway system of Russia.
