No. S. 159. The following is published for general information.
Manila, P.I., June 3rd, 1911.
To Owners, Agents, and Masters of Vessels, and others concerned.
Gentlemen-Owing to the influx into the Philippine Islands of persons from Amoy and other plague infected communities in the vicinity of Hongkong, it has been found neces- sary to impose certain restrictions upon vessels proceeding from the port of Hongkong to the Philippine Islands.
Hereafter, these vessels will be required to call at the Mariveles Quarantine Station and land all steerage passengers and all other persons who ordinarily travel in the steerage.
Passengers landed at Mariveles will be subjected to a quarantine detention of seven days, dating from the time of completing the disinfection at Hongkong.
The passengers will be bathed and all their effects disinfected under the supervision of a representative of this Service at Hongkong, as heretofore.
The quarantine will be strictly enforced against persons
who ordinarily travel in the
steerage", and purchase saloon passage for the purpose of avoiding detention.
Vessels from non-infected ports, calling en route at Hongkong, will not be required to call at Mariveles, provide 1:
1. That no liberty has been given the passengers in Hongkong.
2. That no steerage passengers or persons who ordinarily travel in the steerage,
are embarked at Hongkong.
Respectfully,
CARROLL Fox,
Pussed Assistant Surgeon,
Chief Quarantine Officer for the Philippine Islands.
