It is estimated that sixty thousand people have left: Bombay since the outbreak.
October 7th.
The plague has 'broken out at Ahmedabad. The symptoms are distinct. Active measures are being taken to prevent the disease spreading. Sheds use belog erected outside the city for the segregation of patients. Ahmedabad has many qualifications favouring the disease. It is densely populated, and the water supply is indifferent.
A Bombay 'yes'erday eighteen deaths took place, and the outlook is more serious, as savezal of the deaths occurred in other parti of the town, The Health Officer is finding great difficulty in getting labourers for cleaning and disinfecting, owing to their fexre of contagion. Dead rati have been discovered in bales of dates from the Persian Gulf, which favours the supposition that these animals are specially susceptible to the disease and very likely spread the plague.
Precautionary measures in Calcatta are belag quietly but vigorously pushed forward. Two hospitals are being constructed in an isolated spot, have been formed for an ambulance corps.
