THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN.

« . A London special despatch of May 19 says the authorities have tried for a long time to conceal the fact of the rapid spread of cholera in Spain. They have given out glowing accounts of the success of the new system of micro* bic innoculation as a preventative, but tbese accounts are now known to lie ieuch overdrawn. Dr Ferran had inoculated* several thousands of per"kohi, and comparati veiy few of them have been attacked and killed by cholera, but the subjects are generally selected from the better classes of the people, who by their cleanliness and regularity of habits and exemption from exhausting labor in the rice fields and elsewhere, were naturally less susceptible to infection and less liable to succumb if attacked tban the bulk of the peasantry. London medical men are indisposed to credit the efficacy of Or Ferran's discovery, and prefer to await the report of the Government Commission sent from England to investigate. Later despatches says the cholera is increasing in virulence. Forty 'five En cent, of the attacked die. Orders aye been sent out by the French Government to form a strict cordon in the Pyrenees. The disease made its appearance in Madrid on June 5. Despatches say tbe epidemic continues to rage at Valencia, and wf th increased virulence as well as in other towns in the south- j east provinces of Spain. The peasants chafe under the sanitary restriction? imposed, and their habtynal evasion of them helps to spread the disease.
