Cholera In Constantinople.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 8, 1912:
Official Reports of 1,000 Victims Thought Far Below the Real Total.
    CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 7.— Cholera is causing great havoc in the native quarters of the Turkish capital. It is officially admitted that more than 1,000 cases have occurred in the past twenty days, and that half have been fatal. The total, however, is believed to be much below the real figures, and the opinion is generally expressed that the authorities are minimizing the outbreak.
    The Prefect in a proclamation issued to-day refers to the epidemic and warns the public that failure on their part to notify the authorities of cases of cholera will be punished.
