Our Own Correspondent Sept the rary fluctuations of the disease may be there is no doubt that Naples la now In for an awful struggle with the cholera and there Is small chance for question that Italy's visitation will eclipse In horrors and mortality the record made by the South of France In spite of the arbitrary and ly quarantine precautions tbat were taken it is a noteworthy the points of the Italian infection received the disease refugees from France In the last week hi July the pest appeared almost simultaneously at La Spezia in the Province of Genoa and at in that of Turin it was carried by Italian workingmen returning from Toulon to their homes because thrown out of employment On the 3d of August occurred the outbreak at Dronero in the Province of Conl and it was directly traceable to people who fled across the frontier from in the Basses Alpea Nearly a fortnight later there was an outbreak in the South of Italy at nia in also to a refugee who came from Marseilles There are now 26 Provinces from which deaths have been in every case the contagion can be traced to one of the above starting points The troops at have sadly from the disease and it is said to have been through them tbat plague reached Naples In my first long one from mentioned the fact that a very large proportion of the victims at Marseilles and Toulon were Italians Even in those sinks of contagion the Italians were dirtier than their native neighbors and they suffered more When the plague struck their homes in Italy its ravages were therefore bound to be frightful In some of the smaller cities of the North like La Busca and Bergamo tho of the disease as has no lel iu the of the South er reports are received from them but these portray a horrible state of affairs In Calabria there has been much fierce Ing and trains are no longer run on certain railroads because tho peasants lire into them and tear up the tracks At Lucca also there bos been rioting and bloodshed has occurred owing to interference with a religious procession Disgraceful stories of panic and come from all parts of the country They far over- shadow the worst incidents reported from the poorest quarters of Marseilles and Toulou Everywhere the belief is lent tbat the doctors spread the poison Having orders to kill the people mid hence the poor hide their sick and mob tbe doctors In the streets In one ease they even attacked a hospital priest aud pounded him nearly to death This occurred in the village of Marino A public official in Campobasso lied to Rome and became a raving maniac from fright The terrified and cowardly villagers have taken the law into their own bands and established all sorts of ridiculous quarantines which the has to break up by force and often with violence The result is absolute ruin to business hi the kingdom and untold bad feeling The better classes in Naples seem to be keeping cool and meeting the scourge like men and women but panic pre- vails in the poorer quarters There have been a number pf riots in the market place and bave been used to press them So far the disease in Naples as In Marseilles baa been confined to the most wretched and dirty sections of the city The sudden outbreak waa doubtless duo to a state of general on the of August which was a fete day It has been especially noted iu Italy that there has been a great in- crease in this disease heavy fall favoring Dr Koch's moisture theory Fortunately at Naples live some of tbe finest physicians and men of science in the world and discoveries in treatment are in fact as will be of vast benefit Yesterday at a In an eastern suburb of Naples Prof tan suggestion of a by injection of an alkaline to replace lost serum in the first attack was tried twice successfully Free soup have been opened in various quarters of the city Cardinal San Felice visits the hospitals and slums all day Jong and is said to be ing himself out through bis devotion to the sick Yet even he was hooted at in the streets by the rabble as a poisoner tne other day Up to to-day there have been 1.309 deaths reported m Italy of which only 128 occurred before Aug 20 It is probable that the real total is considerably larger us the Government at first tried to suppress tbe news and even now docs not report all the deaths that occur There are reports to-day of threatened riots in Campobasso on a bloody scale because the Government has forbidden the local antine The historic idiocy of the Spanish was never better illustrated than by the present treatment of the cholera tation in that country Tbe first the out- Bide world knew of its presence there was a statement by mall on the of August that nearly half the population of at Novelda a little inland town in the Prov- ince of Alicante had fled and that 50 ple had died of cholera Letters also said the disease had broken out iu the city of Alicante There was a furious denial of this news from the Alicante authorities The denial is now explained by the foot that the annual fair of the Province was being held at and this fair is the chief re- liance of the town for business The local magnates feared the financial effect of the disclosures Even now they continue de- nying that the disease is the cholera It is known tbat a French family last month sailed from Cette hi Herault for Algiers und thence to Alicante taking this about route in order to escape the rigorous quarantine imposed on the Pyrenees tier but carrying the cholera with them The disease has now taken 58 lives at Novelda 6 In Alicante and 12 in four other towns of the Prov- ince Moreover it is spreading rapidly and there is great alarm in all the Spanish cities Local quarantines are springing up everywhere to the unspeakable disaster to trade Elaborate preparations have been made at Madrid appearance of tbe epidemic there Suburban hospitals have been arranged with 500 beds It is believed that already many cases exist in the prov- ince of Lerida on the Pyrenees border Imt the Government makes the papers deny tho story It is characteristic of Spam that though Novelda is only 18 hours distant from Madrid no or official has yet gone there to learn the truth of the reports Spain has already lost heavily from her conduct during tbe past two months The developments In Italy and Spain have not only diverted public attention from France but have had the curious effect of making the French careless about their own reports no that tbe figures for the present week are very incomplete Letters show that the cholera la ravaging places never mentioned by the telegraph on poor reporta one may now say that the cholera has stricken 191 places in France and that the total of deaths to date Is 4.011 The disease continues to spread In the Pyrenees Orientates where there are 44 places that have reported deaths being an Increase of 11 places in a week Probably Bordeaux will now be- come a new centre of Interest Dr sano telegraphs me from Marseilles that the epidemic has pretty well subsided in that city and Its neighborhood From Naples he learns that there has been a terrible increase since day and the same is true of Spain where he believes the disease has secured a much firmer footing than Is admitted He thinks it will spread with groat ity owing to bod sanitary conditions Added to the misfortunes of Marseilles is the burning of the sugar factory of St Louis a suburb of the town with a of several millions The stock was quoted at 800 From Madrid Dr hears of a serious oase of cholera at the lazaretto near the city The case was brought from Alicante COUNTING THE VICTIMS ROME Sept Cabinet ministers who bavo been visiting the quarters of Naples have returned to Homo They are Impressed with the belief tho spread of the in
