Cholera in India.
« The cablegrams report that at Srinager, in Kammir, where cholera is prevalent, 2000 houses were destroyed by fire, and eighty thousand people are left homeless. The cholera which is prevalent is very serious 1700 cases being under treatment and 999 deatb.3 reported in four days ! As the news is from Calcutta we presume Kashmir stands for Cashmere, the most northern province in India. The country is nominally the property of the Maharajah Pertab Singh, but it is virtually governed by the Viceroy of India owing to the imbecility of the Maharajah. The population is stated to be some one and a half millions. Srinagar we cannot find placed on the map. In 1877 a dreadful famine raged in the territory partly due to, what sounds curious for India, destructive snow storms.
