Cholera At Shanghai
(Received 11-30 a.m.) SHANGHAI, May 27
Eight of 18 suspected Chinese cases have been confirmed as cholera. The outbreak is declared to be epidemic, and an extension is feared owing to hundreds of thousands of refugees living under insanitary conditions.
Cholera has also broken out at Poptung, whither Japanese have despatched a medical corps in the hope of preventing the spread to their own forces. Shanghai clinics have inoculated 70.000.
