AxTwnnr , Aug. 21. For some littln tlmp
past there hnvo boon a number of suspicious
cases of slcknnss In this city , but the author-
Hies have steadily maintained that the ill-
Bonso was not the dreaded epidemic , cholera.
No Inter than yaatorduy It was officially an
nounced that there was not a single ciso of
Asiatic cholera In Belgium , tto suspicious
cases iiolnp simply cholera nostrns. This
statement received Its falsification today , tit
least so far as Antwerp Is concerned. The
leading physicians of Antwerp now declare
that the dlsonsa Is trun Asiatic cholera.
The dlsonso Is now admittedly proiont In
three of the great northern European por.s
Hamburg , Antwerp and llavrti , nnd there is
! * n strong suspicion that so-called cholcrino
prevalent at Stotlln will turn out to ba Asia
tic cholera.
The announcement that tho-fntal scourge
hns appeared hero has caused it fooling of ap
prehension and many of the wealthier resi
dents uro malting preparations to leave the
city. Everything possible will bo donn to
fornbnt the disease , and Instructions will bo
ifsuod by tbo authorities Informing the people -
plo how best to llvo to avoid ttio disease.
Progress ol' tlio OUciixi ; ut lluinlmri ; .
tlAMisuno , Aug. 24. Eighty cases of chol
era wcru reported In Altonu todav including
thrco cases of Asiatic cholera. Some of the
business men nf the city are nfr.ild to use tlio
public telephones , fearing contagion from the
transmitter. Otherwise business proceeds as
usual. The schools were closed tbo greater
part of the tiny. The police and sanitary an-
thurltics , at a conference todav , discussed
tlio eventual closing of the harbor unless the
epidemic speedily subsides.
Profs. Koch and Unfits inspected the
emigrant barracks today.
Thn Nachrichtondwolls upon tbo reckless
ness of the poor In ontlng unsound fruit und
ether food , when the spread of cholera has
already been HU ( Helen lly favored by the in
tensely hot weather.
Thostrcats of this city present n lugu
brious aspect. Ambulance ! ! are constantly
summoned from all directions. Acts of In-
creditable carelessness are frequently re
ported. Ono woman and bor two dnuchlor
consumed ns dinner today several pounds of
plums and boor by the quart. Shortly after
nil three were seized by the cholera and were
removed to a hospital.

A&itnic cholera. The disease Is not spread
ing nnd thu alarm Is now subsiding. Gru.it
precautions luvvo bcon taken In the matter.
Tbo Treasury department Is following up
tbo precautions heretofore adopted anil will
use all means nt hand to keep tno cholera out
of me country. A.tslstnnt Secretary Spauld-
lug bus communicated with Dr. ( i fa vis , the
attorney for various steamship L'ompaiuo.-i ,
and expressed to him the bopo that the Treas
ury department would have the co-operation
of tlio companies In disinfection of emigrants
from uffcctcd localities.
Dr. filavl.t In reply unys that tbo steam
ship lines uro fully impressed with llio grav
ity of tno situation and that nothing shall bo
omitted on their part and every safeguard
will bo applied to prevent the bringing horn

that the sirlko mnvomoat of the switchmen ,
which was Inaugurated twelve days ago In
this city , had fulled. In thn oUl3t.il terms of
the order tbo sttlico was doelared off.
The men who were formerly employed ns

bo notified by tholr local ofllclals that the
purpose for which they quit tholr em
ployment has not boon accomplished , and
that they nro now nt liberty to got

ot thu end ot what was , until last Sunday ,
nn almost general strike of switchmen In the
Buffalo rallroaa ; yards , wis mirkod by Mr.
Sweeney's appeal to the heads of other or
ders to meet him In cotiloronco tu this city.
Mr. Sweeney was brought lace to face with
tbo fuel that tboro was no longer any strike
of switchmen in the liultato yards. Their
loader then recognized the fact that If
his men were saved at all
some power beyond his resources or tholrs
must bo invoked. The fact should bo stated ,
which has not b3on mada public , as ono of
the conditions which hampered Mr. Swconoy ,
that the llnances of his order arp exceedingly
limited. The organization Is without money.
Thus , at the close of the last weak , with the
fact of renewed tr.illlo movement on tus' rail
roads confronting him und without an ofllclal
bank ncocunt at his command , Mr. Sweeney
know thut his cause was lost. Ho turned , as
a last resort. , toward the other ortiinlz-itions
of railway workers , and his invitations to
Messrs. Sargent , Clark , Arthur. Wilkinson
and TtiurHlon , were Indications that the
switchmen were to confess defeat without

Bnforo noon today each of tbcso labor

lute Justice to his own mon , whllo Mr. Clark
of the conductors had already stated that the
mon of bis order had no grievances ot tholr

Such was the situation when at I o'clock this
uflornoon tir.oo men ascended Iho stairs nt
the Hotel Itroozes , and proceeded toward
room 18. which is at the end of a quiet hall
way on tbo lirst floor and ovcrlnoitlug the

Brotherhood of Hallway Conductors.
Arriving at the room which was occupied
by Mr. Sargent of tbo llreinen , that gentle
man received them and closed and bulled
the door. There was little formality In the

At the conclusion of Mr. Sweeney's state

bo would bo in the line with tils Hremen ,
otherwise the firomtm would bo kept boiling
