royed a large part of the residence distict, Assassination of a United States and in which 140 people perished..

Vice-Consul.

LONDON, 28th August.

The United States Vice-Consul Beirut has been assassinated. President Roosevelt has demanded satisfaction and ordered the United States European squadron, now in the Mediterranean,' to proceed to Beirut immediately.

August 29th.

The assassination, of the United States Consul at Beirut, which was officially an- nounced in Washington, now appears to be an error in the Government's cypher tele gram; the man actually fired at but missed the Consul.

The "America" Cup.

In the third race for the "America". Cup,' -- the Keliance outsailed the Shamrock through- out and led by 12 minutes at the outer mark, later on the race became a drifting match.

The third race has been postponed to Monday owing to a gale.

New York, 2011 August.. Again the English yacht met defeat. The Cup defender Retria e beat Shamrack 111 in the second rac by one minule and nineteen seconds. Even the greatest admirers of the Shamrock were disappointed, but Sir Thomas Lipton still has a chance ip lift the mug as there are three races yet to be run.

TREATMENT OF FLAGUE CASES

IN KENNEDY TOWN HOSPITAL.

The following report on plague cases treated in the Kennedy Town hospital, by Dr., J. C..

Thomson, is reprinted from the Government Gazette of the 28th inst:-

Sir, I have the honour to report, for the in- formation of His Excellency the Governor, regarding the plague cases that have been treated in Kennedy Town Hospital this year up to this date (6th July).

2. Two hundred and eighty-two cases of plague have been admitted to this date, of which 87 were discharged cured, 17: died and 24 are still in hospital, but all convalescent. Allibere 24 will almost certainly recover completely, and for purposes of my calculations in what follows I shall class thein with those cured. As the epidemic seems practically over, future ndanis alons to the hospital this year will probably scarcely interfere with general statements that may now be made; and this year's figures may, I think, he quite fairly compared tentatively with the total figures for previous years.

BERF-BERIS

Dr. Guérin, after long and careful experi- ments in Madagascar and Tonkin, has dis- covered an efficacious treatment for best-beri by intramuscular injections of 1% solution of b'chloride of mercury to 2% of serum of Hayem. The minimum number of infections hus been two and the maximum six, so says his report, and the proportion of cures, amongst patients so treated, has been two-thirds.

THE YONG-AM-PRO LEASE QUESTION.

RUMOURS OF ANNULMENT.

A Seoul dispatch to the Asaki states that the Russian Minister in Seoul was dissatisfied with Sei Kye in regard to the lease of land at Yong. The substance of the agreement made by Cho

pho, He is said to have expressed his desire to the Foreign Office that the agreement should be amended. On the 12th instant Cho Sci-Kyo had an interview with Mr. Ginsberg. representative of the Russian Timber Company, and arranged to annul the agreement. Cho Sei-Kyo also applied to the Russian Minister for bis sanction of the annulment, and the fact that such application had been made was com municated to the Japanese Minister by. Cho

Sei-Kyo.

A letter just received from Newchwang says that the Russians give frequent expression to the opinion that they will be forced to fight Japan this autumn. They are not apparently happy in the prospect, but say her continued aggression leaves them no alternative. It has been suggested that a winter warfare would suit Japan best. I am a little doubtful on that point. The correspondent contipues: The 4th August will always remain a red-letter diy in the annals of Newchwang history, as the anniversary of the Boxer attack on the foreign settlement, and occupation of the port by the Russians which will never be forgotten by those who were present.

The absence of untoward symptoms is pro- hibly an incidental testimony to the purity of the apothecary's stock of carbolic acid, as car boluria is believed to the due more lo impur- ities in the acid than to the drug itself.

8. As a result of observation of its use in a. series of 143 cases, I consider carbolic acid in large doses the most hopeful means of treating plague thus far at our disposal in Hongos. 9 Before looking at the actual figures, there are two circumstances that need to be men- tioned, and for which due allowance must be

made

(1)-The treatment with carbolic acid was commenced late in the epidemic, at a stage when there is a greater natural tendency to recovery, the disease being invariably more virulent early in the season.

(2)-Coincidently with my beginning the use of carbolic acid, Dr. Bell announced his modi- fication of Ross's method for the examination

of a thick film of malaria blood as a method

for the examination of plague blood ; and as a consequence of this improved means of ding- nosis a much larger number of very inild cases, many of which would not have been diagnosed as plague in former years, were proved to be plague and sent to Kennedy Town. These. cases swelled the proportion of case recovering. 1o, 1 should like in passing to express my sense of the great value of Belfs method for the diagnosis of plague.

The Note of warning was to the effect that if the case contract was ratified, the Japanese Government would take any action deemed necessary for the protection of Japanese rights and interests in Korea. The reply notified that the contract agreed upon between Cho Sei-Kyo and the Russians was only provisional. Some amendments were to be made between the Korean authorities and the Russian Minister, and it was deemed too hasty a conclusion to take it that the agreement meant the grant of a settlement for the exclusive use of Russia.
