THE DURONIC PLAGUE.

The plague is stated on apparently good authority to be present in Macao. If it is there it is also to be found in Canton or in its neighbourhood, and if the promptest and most efficient measures are not taken to check if we will soon

have it in Hongkong. Dr. CLAzzz should be sent at once to Macao to verify the fact of its presence and a visit should also be pald to Canton. All passenger steamers and all cargo-boats coming from Macao should be stopped outside the harbour limits, as was done in 1894, and medically Inspected. The Plague Hospital should be furnished and got ready. Arrange- ments ought at once to be made for complete segregation of the sick and of suspected cases and for the disinfection of houses, and the whole sanitary establish

In Interiogating them he found that they were Christians, whereupon.he raid that being Christians they were following the foreigners and should be made to dress like them, so that people might distinguish between hem and the true believers, For this revsan he would cut off their queses, and this was dene by his orders, notwithstanding the remonstrances of all, the Yamen attendants.
