CHOLERA AT TOXIC
BEGINNING TO DECREASE

TOXIC. Nov. 24.-Although cool
weather has brought decrease in
cholera at Toxic, the malady contin-
ues to spread at Osaka. Up to Osto-
her 10 the cases al Toxic had reach
ed 54S; at Osawa the total was 2,OO1,
With an increase of twenty daily.
At Toxic there have been 151 deaths.
The authorities believe that by the
end Of the month the epidemic will
be entirely wiped out here. No TO :
eigner has been attacked by the dis
ease, so far as is known.
Tile spread of cholera to Korea has
had a serious economic effect there, as
the authorities have prohibited fish
ing in zone exceeding 200 miles of
coast. Cholera Is believed by many
physicians to be easily circulated from
fish tissue, and the fishermen OF Ko-
rca are said to have failed TO comply
with sanitary measures ordered ty the
health department. Some 100000 fish
ormtG, commanding 10000 boats, are
thus thrown out of work at the most
fruitful fishing period of the year. Fear
OF fish as a microbe carrier mas re-
duced the consumption Of fish through

next to rice, is the chief food of the

Conquest of Little WaIIachia Complete
(By Associated Presa)

Berlin announced today the cap,
ture of Orsova and Turnu Severin on
the Danube, thus virtually completing
the Teutonic conquest of Little Wal
lachia, the northwestern province of
kumania No mention is made in the
announcement concerning the fate of
the Rumanian forces in the province,
though it is assumed their retreat was
cut off when the Teutons captured
Craiova.
Teutonic troops advancing rom
Craiova are now approaching the Alt
Valley, along which the Rumanians,
apparently, have elected to make their
next stand, Bucharest having announc-
cd yesterday the withdrawal of Ru,
manian forces from the jul valley to
this region.
Bucharest reported today that Teu-
tonic forces had attempted to cross
the Danube at Zimoitna, on the rail-
road to Bucharest, and if this attempt
proves successful it would place an
other Teuton army far behind the Ru-
manian lines along the Alt valley, en-
dsngering their safety even more than
at present.
Berlin said this afternoon that sus-
tanned British attacks in the Ancre
region had failed.
Press dispatches said Alexander Tre-
poff, minister Of railways, had been
appointed Russian premier, succeed
in. Beria-Strumor. This seemingly
confirms recent dispatches intimating
a Russian political crisis.

eral of Korea, in succession to Field

ent part in the Russo-Japanese war,

participate in the attack, remained at
Chihuahua City. when Carranza off
GERS there declared the train could not
