A Terrible Cholera Tragedy.

At Askabad, Turkestan, the cholera
bad almost disappeared, and the event
was celebrated with much rejoicing on
the anniversary of the emperor's name
day. The governor gave dinner, to
which he invited a numerous company,
and the various regiments were granted
extra rations that they might rejoice on
the occasion.
The day, which began so auspiciously
amid general rejoicing, was destined TO
have an ending without a parallel i'll
history.
OF the numerous guests who attended
the dinner one-half died within "a
hours. A military band of about 90 men
who played during that fatal dinner
lost 40 of their number with cholera,
and only 10 of the men reached camp
that night. One regiment lost half of
its men and nine officers ere the sun
rose the following morning, and within
Is hours / 300 people died with cholera.
The cause of the outbreak was clear
ly traced to small stream of water
which supplied the town. Four days
previously the authorities were informed
that cholera had broken out at a small
Turkoman village situated on the banks
of this stream about four miles. above
Askabad. The inhabitants of this viii
lage were ordered to move their tents
several miles back on the hills, which
they did.

Of the cholera at Askabad n very heavy
rainstorm occurred. which washed the
banks of the river and swept refuse and
other matter from the abaftt@ofted |fiiago
into the stream, and this matter was
carried by the water into the city and
distributed 10 all parts Of the town by
the numerous oren canals through
which the inhabitants were supplied
with water. 1T was this contaminated
water which caused the reappearance of
the epidemic and the frightful mortality
which followed. Sanitary Era
