Rare Germ Causes Excitement
in BerIin-67 Dead.
Botulinus Bacillus Said to Have Been
Discovered In Food Eaten by Some
of Victims-kaiser Calls for
Reports.

Berlin.-AnnOuncem today Of q
dozen more deaths and thirty new
cases of prostration have intensified
the public alarm over the mysterious
malady that first made its appearance
three days ago at the Central Munich
pal Shelter.
The deaths now total sixty-seven
and the prostrations 142.
Despite official denials that there is
any suspicion of the presence of chol-
era in the city, Berlin is giving more
and more credence to the most SIMS
ter rumors. These rumors are chiefly
due to the fact that many cases Of ILL
ness and death have occurred at wide
ly separated places in and near the
city where there could have been
scarcely possibility of the malady
having been due to eating spoiled her
ring gathered by habitues of the Cen
trail Municipal Shelter.
The latest explanation of the au
thorities, put forth from the Berlin
Magistracy, is that the strange dis
ease is due to a microbe known to
science as the "botulinus bacillus. -
This particular type of bacillus is said
to cause a deadly sickness similar to
that produced by 'allanto-toxicum"
the acid developed in spoiled liver
sausages. There has been no posi-
tive Identification of this bacillus in
allanto-toxicum 1t is a case Of sim
ilarity of effect.
1t Is announced that Investigations
at the archaeological institute seem
to determine the present malady as
due to the botulinus bacilous in food
eaten by those who have been strick-
en-.
If that be so, the mystery is how so
many persons in such widely separat-
ed districts could have CHANGED to
eat food infected with the compare
lively rare microbe.
The German emperor has asked the
minister of the interior to send him
