IN STREETS Of NAPLES
100000 Have Fled City.
Conditions Revealed
by Press.

ROME, September 27.-With the re-
moval of the censorship startling details
of the cholera epidemic at Naples are
being received
A number of persons have died in the
streets. Popular excitement is such that
the police have great difficulty in main
tanning public order.

the better classes already have fed the
city. There were thirty-two new cases
and twenty-six deaths from the cholera
in Naples yesterday
Immigrants arriving today from Amer
lea, were forcibly prevented from land
ing. Passengers on the steamer Canopic,
which reached Naples yesterday from
Boston. were permitted to debark, but
were Immediately escorted to the rail-
road station by soldiers.
Almost all Of the cases are in the most
squalid quarters Of the city. in Vicaria
and Mercato districts.
The authorities. who long concealed
the truth from the public, and until the
press made known the real situation, are
now doing their utmost Quarters for
the isolation Of the victims are being es-
tablished on the Island OF Nisida, in the
Bay of Naples, where the quarantine sta
ton is located.
The Duke and Duchess of Aosta have
hurriedly returned to Naples and are
organizing relief methods.
Official confirmation was received today
by Gen. Wyman, chief of the marine
hospital and public health service, of the
report that cholera had broken out in
Naples itself. There have been about 100
suspicious deaths reported in the past ten
days, but the presence of the disease has
now been confirmed by archaeological
tests.
Surg. H. G. Geddings of the marine hos
pital service has been stationed at Ma
pies for several weeks past, the chief
immediate interest of the outbreak to this
country being that Naples is the chief
population of we'll over half million, and
