We hear that several plague patients were last night removed by their relatives from Hongkong to Samsulpo, and that one of them died there this forenoon.
Captain Superintendent May, Inspector Germain, and the Tung Wah Hospital officials have made arrangements for the disposal of the dead and the dying, on much the same lines as last year.
The plague is reported to be prevalent in a village at Castle Peak Bay, and this fell disease is also prevalent at the village of Sha-po-tsal, Chinese Kowloon.
