Several cases of suspected cholera having been notified to the authorities, they had the patients isolated. This exasperated the inhabitants who to the number of 500 assembled in front of t he town hall and attacked eight gen darmes on guard there, t The mob Invadied the town hall, bufst open the doors and drawres, smashed the windows, and threw fur niture and papers Into the street. Then they set fire to the building, and when the flames had got the masts, with ex ultant yells made tor the hospital. They fought their way inside seized the cholera patients were the victims off to their homes shouting troumph. The town hall was almost completely destroyed by the flames, which were only extinguished after the arrival of 100 gendarmes from Rome. It appears that the i^orant Inhab itants acted under the Impression that the cholera pationts were the victims of a conspirac^y of doctors and nurses, whom they believed to be in. league to do away with them.

Although the German physician Ger- hardt diagnises cancer at the very out set. Sir Morel adhered to his original belief that it was a case of inflamation of the vocal chords. Dr. Bergmann stat es that Sir Morell removed a piece of the right vocal chord, which was un affected—Instead of the left chord, which was diseased. TTie operation performed at San Remo in February 1888 on the Crown Prince—as the Emperor Frederick than was—was postponed by Sir Morell as long as possible.
