UNABLE TO CHECK SCOURGE
Cholera Grasps Russian Capitol and is
Spreading to Other Cites Of
the Empire.
UNABLE TO CHECK SCOURGE

St Petersburg, Cable: Worse than
the epidemic of 1903 is the Asiatic
cholera contagion now prevailing. The
| disease is more virulent in character
and the number OF deaths greater.
The plague is increasing daily at an
alarming rate. and unless the authors
ties show in the future a much great
er degree OF ability to cope with the
situation than they have in the past.
there is every reason to fear that il
will get beyond control.
The Government has threatened 10
apply the provisions of martial law.
and this threat has driven the munici.
patty officials 10 bend all their encr.
gies TO the campaign of clearing the
city OF the scourge The Aldermanic
Council has voted a preliminary sum
Of S250.000 TO enlarge the hospital
space, to purchase and distribute dis.
infectants, the supply of which in St
Petersburg is well nigh exhausted. and
to expedite the interment of bodies
which has been VIGOROUSLY slow. The
Lighthouses are overcrowded. and
many corpses lie unburied.
Public schools have been trans.
formed into hospital wards. A nun.
Der OF the grammar schools were
closed.
The Department Of War has opened
stores 10 supply immediate needs. and
army field kitchens have been dis.
patched to the poorer quarters to dis
pense free food
AS announced by the official bulle-
tins. the cases number $40 and the
deaths l2S during the "a hours be
tween Friday noon and Saturday noon
This was considerable decrease
from the preceding day. but there is
doubt OF the accuracy OF the official
statement. The record for the same
"a hours ascertained from reliable
sources shows the actual number to
have been far in excess Of that.
Practically nothing has been done
up 10 the present TO put the city's
market places in a sanitary condition. |
They are hotbeds of Undesirable |
filth. with the atmosphere reekine |
with foul odors. One hundred car
loads of fruit have been auctioned of |
and forwarded to Warsaw. wilma and ,
other towns which the cholera has not |
invaded, and the possibility OF infec
ton from this source is very great.
AS a city, St. Petersburg is wocfully
and the dread disease finds
here the conditions most suitable for
It's propagation. II first made its an.
pearance among the poor people herd
ed in wretched tenements but il is
now spreading 20 the better classes.
