BERLIN, Aug. u.-Cholera is slowly
but steadily spreading westward. The
disease has obtained foothold in nine
teen Russian provinces, where deaths
by hundreds are recorded daily. Cholera
exists in seventeen districts of Gallcia,
and scores of deaths from the disease
take place every day in that section.
In East Prussia, especially in DantZic,
the situation grows worse in spite of
the closing OF the frontier at Golub. on
the river DrewenZ, opposite DebrOzyn,
Poland.
According 10 official report, cholera
bacili have been found floating in the
river Vistula, and q number of fatal
cases are also privately reported from
Holm and Golub. The rest of Germany
appears to be free from cholera, al
though a few sporadic cases have oc-
Cured here and there.
Germany's Eastern Fleet.
Two strongly armed new cruisers,
Cormorant and Condor, now in reserve
at kiel, will be sent to Eastern Asia.
Each OF these cruisers is manned by 100
men. The gunboats Hits and Wolf are
already in Chinese waters, and with the
three cruisers sent to the far East last
week and the Cormorant and Condor.
Germany will have total force of seven
ships and about 1000 men in the vicin-
ity of Korea.
Duke Frederick William of Mecklen-
berg Is serving as naval lieutenant on
board the AleXandrine, one of the
cruisers now GU her way to Korea.
1t is estimated that nearly
10000 Russian Troops
are in Eastern Siberia and have with
them sixty-four heavy guns. This. in
connection with the fact that Russia
has sent eight war ships under sealed
orders to Korea, and that the COM
manderin-chiet of Eastern Siberia has
been instructed to hold the troops of
that district in readiness to march at
any moment, is regarded as significant.
The Japanese diplomats here express
perfect confidence that the powers will
not permit China to annex Korea.
Prince Bismarck
is still at Varsin. and he continues to
enjoy good health. After breakfast
almost every morning he takes walk
in the park. accompanied by his two
dogs, TyIas and Rebecca. The other
day, pointingito his two favorite dogs,
the ex-chancellor said mournfully:
"You see. everything around me is
growing old; dogs, horses, and also my
dear, beloved wife" When the prince
has finished his walk he takes a SUBJ
stantial lunch. giving preference to
cold fowl, crabs, etc. In the afternoon
he takes drive, and he goes to bed
regularly at II O'Clock.
There is no denying that Princess
Bismarck is becoming notably weaker.
She has had several attacks of COM
! plete prostration. Today, however. The
princess seemed so much improved that
DR.. Schweininger departed from VAR
sein,Iand will not return until he is sum-
| moned TO attend the prince or the prin-
