MACAO NOTES.
(From an Occasional Correspondent)
MACAO, June 13th. I am glad to be in a position to authentically state that there has been a marked diminution of sporadic cases of bubonic plegum. Some of the Chinese patients at the Lappa plague bos- pital were inoculated with the Yerain serum with the best of resolte; still, it la mot you que ente to state that it is a positive remedy for the care of this terribly fatal disease. Further expert- ments are needed to prove is thorough efficacy The prohibition of the exportation of rice is still In force, and it has tended to reduce the arbl- trary prices saked by the rice merchants to the great detriment of the potser classes. This pro- hibition should be in vogue as long as the pro hibition of the exportation of rice is in force throughout the Two Kwange,
