Regarding the Cholera.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-The news
from Russia regarding the cholera is
not at all re.assuring. 1t is asserted
that the pest has broken out virulent-
ly in many parts of the empire and in
st. Petersburg, but the policy of the
authorities is to rigidly suppress the
facts. The attempt to suppress in
formation regarding the cholera, no
matter what the motive, is mistake.
If the Withholding of facts is designed
to allay apprehension it never sue
ceeds, for suppression of news always
results in the circulation of eXagger-
ated reports. The exact truth is the
best, and then people know what to
prepare for and are not unnecessarily
alarmed.

other attempt made to dislOdge the
insurgents.

Possibilities OF War.
On March 18th the London Spec
tator, in careful and conservative
article relating TO listers attitude,
said: Whether the Protestant coun-
ties of Ulster will rebel against an
Irish Catholic Parliament seated in
Dublin is, of course, doubtful, quiet
iudustrials Being slow to take up
arms, but we should say, looking at
the whole matter as historians, and
without prejudice in favor of any
party, the balance of probability lies
on that side.
