/ May, 1898.

I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in

Council to forward an extract of a letter from the

Government of India calling attention to

the omission of the Government of Hong Kong to inform them of the recrudescence of plague in that

colony.

I am to state that Lord George Hamilton would be glad if you would be so good as to bring the matter to the

notice of Mr. Secretary Chamberlain with the view of steps

being taken to keep the Government of India informed of

the outbreak of plague in any of Her Majesty's colonies

in the future.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

а

A Jolly

Under Secretary of State,
