NEW YORK, June yth,
Bubonic plague broken out in Berlin, there already being forty suspected cases and the residents of the city are deeing to thecountry in large numbers. The first turpe.ted case was that of a person who has been travelling in the Orient for some time, who had just returned to his home and was supposed to have brought it back with him. The board of health of the city are taking all precautions possible, the infected persons being isolated and none but ide physicians are allowed to approach them. When the disease first appeared it was not known what it was and that was the reason that it gained such a strong headway.
