The latter not unnaturally held that the question was one primarily depending on the Health Office.

Inasmuch as this plea of "Mr Jerking" was seriously injuring the business of the China Commercial Steamship Company I thought it best to press the matter upon the evidence which had been brought before me.

Senor Mariscal has now informed me that he is in receipt of a lengthy report from Dr Licesge, of the Mexicana Board of Health, which is in many particulars damaging to the British Steamship Company.

He has promised to furnish me with a copy of this report, and in the meantime was good enough to acquaint me briefly with its contents.

First, that some three years ago the Company in question landed a large number of coolies at Salina Cruz, leaving them without means of subsistence.

Secondly, that Dr Valenzuela, the Mexican Port Doctor at Salina Cruz passed two years in the Far East studying the disease of trachoma with great attention, whereas one of the two doctors sent by the Company to control Dr Valenzuela's decision, Dr Buhot, is a young man who has just received his diploma, and has probably no previous experience of the disease in question.
