The Chinese Officials at Peking are treating the plague as a foreign import. Any Chinaman taken with the plague is immediately seized and placed in a hulk or the "Glass room" (? Glass huts) fumigated with sulphur, and given land water to drink. His relatives are not permitted to see him; and Chinese doctors are not allowed to treat his complaint. After death he is buried in line; his family are not allowed to take the corpse away and bury it in a coffin. Two or three hundred persons are collected to a house, and sit on the bare ground helplessly awaiting death. The result is that great numbers are perishing. Lately police are set to make inspection street by street. Should they find one sick man in a house they at once force him to go out, and they destroy the building and burn the clothes and belongings of the patient.
