Before preceding to details, attention may be invited to the telegram addressed to the Taoyin of Paotingfu by the Nei wupu. It is seldom that the authorities. indulge in such straight talk. This official is publicly charged with neglect of duty in not properly carrying out the preventive measures which he was asked to enforce, and he is ordered to see that CONCENTRATED AND the offence is not repeated. Moreover,
be is reminded of the new regulations governing the punishment of officials in plague prevention work. The value of this public reproof is that it comes under the notice of others than the particular official to whom it is addressed. Buch action indicates the earnestness of the Ministry of Interior in the matter of plague prevention. It shows, also, that indifference and carelessness on the part of officials will not be tolerated.
