MANILA, 16th September, 1897.
Having received from the Consul for Spain at Amoy the pleasing intelligence that the Bubonic Plague has ceased to be prevalent at that Port, now therefore I, acting on the advice of the Sanitary Authorities and by virtue of the powers in me vested, decree as follows:-
ART. 1.--Every ship arriving from Amoy, and sailed from that port after the 10th instant, which arrives in good sanitary condition will be allowed free pratique, in accord- ance with the conditions prescribed by the General Rules.
ART. 2.--Also free pratique will be allowed to ships under similar conditions arriving from
Hongkong.
ART. 3.--Also in view of information received from the Consul at Formosa that the plague has ceased to be prevalent in that Island, ships arriving from there will also be allowed free pratique,
Let it be circulated, published and returned to the General Civil Administration.
