Correspondence from Puerto Rico from the 29th of June (1856) announces the appearance of the cholera, under very unexpected circumstances.

As these places were all in the neighborhood of the richest and most populous agricultural districts, and not far from Guayama, which had suffered severely from a disastrous conflagration at the beginning of last month, (...) it will be understood that the greatest consternation has been caused by the re-appearance of the epidemic.
To this calamity the Puerto Riquenos had another added. A very fatal disease was destroying their cattle in great numbers. It was commonly called 'the Cattle Cholera.' The animals attacked became hydrophobic, frothed and slavered at the mouth, lost their teeth and died—perhaps more from the consequent inanition, it was thought, than from the actual disease.
