Washington Officials Act.

| Special By United Press Wire.
Washington, July 17:-There is
grave danger of Asiatic cholera gain
ing a foothold in this country, is the
opinion expressed by Sergeant Gen
eral Walter Weyman, Of the Public
Health and Marine hospital today.
81 am not an alarmist, but l cannot
deny our imminent danger. We are
doing everything in our power" said
Weymann.
From official circles 1t Is learned
that the cholera epidemic in the Med
iterranean sea territory is far more
dangerous than has been made pub
lie heretofore.
Thus far the prevalence of the dis
ease has attracted little public atten-
ton, although the officers of the state
department and of the public health
and marine hospital service have been
kept fully advised and have on the
basis Of their official reports directed
that stringent quarantine be main
tatned against vessels arriving in this
country from infected ports. 1t has al
ready been the principal source of
cholera, though the disease has devel-
oped In Egypt and Greece. Most Of
the cases have occurred in Naples and
Palermo.
According to the latest reports re-
cefved by the marine ship service, the
present outbreak dates from June 8.
Since then there have been a total OF
218 deaths in Naples. In the rest OF
continental Italy 974 cases and 116
deaths have occurred. At Palermo
there were 2S2 cases and rs fatalities.
Messina is free from the disease. The
remainder Of Sicily has had 81 cases
and II deaths.
The present outbreak Is q recurrence
of the epidemic of last summer IN
Italy, there having been a hull in the
spread of the disease in theF winter
months. The conditions were such last
summer as to cause the abandonment
of the proposed cruise of the Atlantic
battleship feet to Mediterranean ports.
Epidemic Causes Strike.
Naples. July 17.-Anticholera and
other sanitary precautions are agitat,
ing the %populace. They say that the
regulations u foreign ships to
avoid the port, entailing enormou
A general strike is threatened.
Almost a war Is going on between
the clergy and Socialists. The trouble
originated when the priests denounced
the sheath gowns worn by women.
Several were wounded before the po-
lice stopped a row that started.
CARD OF THANKS.
The undersigned takes this means |
to offer their sincere thanks to their
and neighbors for the kind
shown during the recent Illness
and death of their daughter Agnes.
They also want to thank the children
Of the neighborhood for the feautiful
piece of flowers which they sent.

spent the day up the river and the
woman had done something which an
gered her spouse. After they return

vociferously, and his wife displayed
excellent taste by paying no attention
to her irate husband. This angered
him the more and picking up her pet
fox, an inoffensive little thing, he
threw it with great force against the
wall, killing it, declaring at the same
time, "I'll get even with you." The
woman told her friends of the coward

much disgusted with the display OF
temper. It is we'll for Swift that an
officer of the humane society did not
learn of this until after his departure
