CHOLERA IN HAMBURG.

The Disease Making Steady Progress and the Future Looks Gloomy. Hamburg, Dec. 27.—Two children living in the Borgeschstrasse fell ill of cholera on Thursday, and Monday two more in the same house with them •were stricken. The Eppendorf hospital is treating thirty-eight cases of cholera, of which eight are of an exceedingly virulent type. There was one death from cholera at the hospital Monday. Without doubt the disease is making steady although slow progress. General uneasiness prevails, especially in mercantile circles, which still are under the burdens of last year’s losses.
