SUPERSTITIOUS PEASANTRY
(Received La fit Night, 11.10 o'clock.)
ROME, September 1
The authorities have hitherto suppressed the facts of the cholera ravages, which have run riot at Verbicaro.
It is now revealed that one hundred corpses lay unburied for many days. Three quarters of the population fled for assistance.
The Government sought to relieve tho distress.
The remainder of the eight hundred towns and villages in the southern and central parts of Northern Italy are infected with Cholera, and superstitious peasantry are threatening the sanitary officials with death, believing that the Government is poisoning the water on purpose to decimate the poor.
