Calcutta, October rath.

The babanic plague bas made its appearance la Calcutta proper. addition to the CARO reported at Howrah two cases were reported last alght, one at Bhowanipur suburbs and the other In the Colootgelab section of the town. Both cases have been isolated at the request of the Municipality.

The Government have deputed Doctor Banki Clvll Surgeon of Pures, to come to Calcutta im- | mediately and supervise the cleansing of the

city, on a salary of Rs. 1,000 a month.

One plague case reported above is that of a Eurasian girl, Grace Hodges, aged seren, the diughter of a Preventive Officer. The family frequently receive letters from Bombay.
