st. Petersburg. Sept. 1S.-Three hun
dred and flve cases and 115 deaths
from the Asiatic cholera were reported
for the "a hours ending at noon Thurs
day.
The municipal administrations are
under fire from all sides for their
criminal inefficiency in handling the
epidemic and for their failure to make
adequate preparation for hospital, am
bulance and sanitary services. AL
though they had ample warning Of the
coming of the disease, no effective
steps were taken to stamp out the
scourge; even the elementary precau
tions of disinfecting and cleaning were
neglected. A recurrence Of the out
break in the spring in even greater
proportions is considered inevitable.

daily at an alarming rate, and unless
