The State is to receive at least 6 per cent. of the gross receipts. The concessions are to last twenty years; at the end of which period everything passes to the State.

As regards the epidemic, I can with confidence tell you that matters are going from bad to epidemic of madness is spreading as fast in the woise here. It would appear, moreover, that an region of our superior authorities, as cholera, or beri-beri, is ravaging the town. Was it not an act of sheer madness to cause the infected troops

and passengers of the India to land in such half a mile distance from the town? Was it not a small place as Macao, and to be quartered at madness on the part of the Sanitary Board to establish three distinct lazatettos in the proximity of the lown, one at Cacilhas, another inside the Guia Fort, and a third on Green Island? Was it not madness to transler Capt. Darros, who was seized with a cholernic attack at the Cacilhas lazaretto, to the Green Island establishment where no case had as yet been reported? Was it not madness to arbitrarily transfer Major Vaquinhas from his post, and appoint him commander of an infected lazaretto? The introduction of Capt. Barros into Green Island has brought on sickness on several other other wise healthy officers quartered in that locality Capt. Gil is now seriously ill, and a lady named Agostinha died the day before yesterday At Cacilhas, a gunner, a corporal and five soldiers succumbed on Sunday; and on Monday, from noon to 6 p.m. four more soldiers died.
