It is the complaint of the Portuguese colonists that Chinese taken ill with plague in Hongkong seek refuge, in Macao. Those attacked by the disease in the latter colony are given the option of being treated (if Christians) in the Government Infectious Diseases Hospital on the heights of Casilha or of being conveyes! he,oss the harbour to the hospital on the island of Lappa, in Chinese territory, under the charge of Chinese medical practitioners. Our neighbours hold' that the procedure of the Macao Authorities tends to mitigate the fear in the native minds instead of instilling dread into them by a forcible removal of patients to places for treatment not in accordance with Chinese ways of thinking. All things con- sidered the contention is that plague patients do not emigrate from Macao to Hongkong. but rather the reverse. The fact that no cases have been discovered throughout the medical inspection this year goes along way to support a contention which we take to be the meaning of Mr. Fund WA CHUN's opposition to the continuance of medical inspection of vessels arriving from Macao.
