Measures to prevent the
[ APP. VIII.
found by inspecting Medical Officers at Khanpur, Sher Shah, Raewind,
Rewari or Bhatinda to have symptoms of bubonic plague :—The Com-
missioned Medical Officers who will be stationed at Khanpur and
Rewari will exercise their discretion in determining whether any such
person shall be detained or sent on to the next Civil Surgeon. Much
will depend on the facility of obtaining proper food, nursing, etc. The
Motamid of the Bahawalpur State has been requested to arrange at
once for a tent and necessary furniture, cooking utensils, etc.. at
Khanpur, and a copy of the note of requirements forwarded with your
letter No. 34, dated 7th January 1897, will be sent to His Highness
the Nawab of Bahawalpur and to the Commissioner of Delhi.
2. The Hospital Assistants at the three other inspecting stations
will not be authorized to detain European or Eurasian passengers.
Such persons if suspected to be suffering from plague should in His
Honour's opinion be carried on in the train to the nearest Civil Sur-
geon, their fellow-passengers being dealt with in accordance with
Railway rules on the subject. On arrival at the nearest civil station
the European or Eurasian plague patient should be taken to an isolation
hospital and treated by the Civil Surgeon, who would be prepared for
his arrival by a wire from the Hospital Assistant.
3. The nearest civil stations will be :—
(1) In the case of Khanpur and Sher Shah : Mooltan. It is
understood that you wrote some time ago to the Civil Sur-
geon to arrange for an isolation hospital there.
(2) In the case of Raewind : Lahore. Here also it is understood
that arrangements for an isolation hospital are being made.
(3) In the case of Rewari : Gurgaon. A copy of this letter is
being forwarded to Commissioner, Delhi, who will be asked
to arrange in consultation with you for an isolation hos-
pital there.
(4) In the case of Bhatinda : Ferozepore. The Commissioner,
Jullundur, will be similarly addressed, but I am to ask you to
consider whether in this instance it might not be prefer-
able to arrange for the patient to be sent back to Hissar.
4. You have been asked to communicate direct with the Agent,
Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway. I am to suggest that
you should inform him of the contents of this letter.
5. I am to enclose, for your information, a copy cf a letter from
the Manager, North-Western Railway, No. 3O-C., dated 6th January
1897, intimating the instructions issued by him for the examination of
passengers from Karachi and Sukkur.

Governor General in Council will not at present issue any regula-
tions under section 2, and trusts Local Governments to issue regula-
tions where they are or may be required.†
In respect of regulations under section 2, sub-
section 2 (b), regarding inspection of travel-
lers by railway, Governor General in Council desires to make the
following remarks for consideration of Local Government. It is
essential that medical inspection of passengers in trains coming from
direction of infected districts shall be complete and this can only be
effected by removal of passengers to platform and individual inspec-
tion there by medical officer. The regulations should provide for
this.‡ The Governor General in Council
‡ Baluchistan up to here
only
considers that, subject to opinion of Local
Government, such inspection might take
place at following places :—
Madras.—Perambur and Guntakal, to each of which places a
Commissioned Medical Officer should be appointed. Appointment of
these officers need not interfere with subsidiary inspections reported
in your telegram of 2nd instant.
Bombay.—Kaliyan, Anand, Hubli, Karachi, Busawal and at some
place on Bombay-Baroda line not far from Bombay, possibly Palghar.

European Commissioned Medical Officers would be required to
undertake duty of inspection except possibly at Bhusawal where rail-
way doctor might undertake it.
It seems to the Government of India that inspection now perform-
.ed at Sukkur by Assistant Surgeon might more usefully be performed
at Ruk.
Central Provinces.—Itarsi and Bilaspur. The Government of
India think that Commissioned Medical Officer should be appointed
to former place and will place one at your disposal, if you are unable
to appoint one. The work at Bilaspur should be done by Civil Sur-
geon,
North-Western Provinces and Oudh.—Naini and Jhansi. A
European Military Assistant Surgeon should be appointed to Naini
and a Commissioned Medical Officer at Jhansi. Government of India
will provide men if North-Western Provinces Government is unable
to do so. These arrangements need not supersede any subsidiary
inspections of less complete character ordered by North-Western
Provinces Government at other stations.
Punjab.—Government of India think that Commissioned Officer
now at Khanpur should be removed to Raewind, and the one at
Rewari to Bandikui. Also that hospital assistant at Sher Shah
should be moved to Mahmud Kot as more suitable place. These
arrangements need not supersede any subsidiary inspections of less
complete character ordered by Punjab Government at other stations.
Agent to the Governor General for Rajputana.—Bandikui. The
Government of India propose that Commissioned Medical Officer at
Rewari should move to Bandikui. Please place yourself in communi-
cation with Punjab Government to secure his services.
Small hospitals should be erected at places where principal in-
spections take place for suspected cases and separate huts for
accommodation of persons suffering from plague.

No. 303, dated Calcutta, the 4th February 1897.
From—J.P. HEWETT, Esq., C.I.E., Secretary to the Government of
India, Home Department,
To—The Secretary to the Government of Bengal.
I am directed to forward a copy of the Epidemic Diseases Act
passed today by the Legislative Council of the Governor General for
the purpose of making laws and regulations, and of a notification
under section 3 thereof conferring on the Government of Bengal
powers under section 2 (1) and 2 (a) and (ó).

2. The Governor General in Council does not at present propose
to issue any regulations under section 2, and intends that Local
Governments should issue them where they are required. I am, how-
ever, to say with reference to section 2, sub-section (2) (b), that His
Excellency in Council is of opinion that it is essential that the medical
inspection of passengers in trains coming from the direction of
infected districts should be complete and that this can only be
effected by the removal of the passengers to the platform and indi-
vidual inspection there by the medical officer. For this purpose the
Governor General in Council thinks that a Commissioned Medical
officer should be appointed at Assansole, and I am to ask that, if His
Honour the Lieutenant-Governor has no objection, this may be
arranged for. The special inspection at Assansole need not interfere
with any subsidiary inspections of a less complete character at other
places which the Lieutenant-Governor may prescribe. The Govern-
ment of India think that it would be undesirable to construct an isola-
tion hospital at Assansole where there is a large community connected
with the railway, but a small hospital for suspected cases, and separate
huts for the accommodation of persons suffering from plague, should
be provided at same place in the neighbourhood to be approved by
the Lieutenant-Governor.
3. I am to suggest for His Honour's consideration whether it may
not be desirable to give assistance to the Port Health Officer in the
conduct of his duties at the present juncture, either by associating
with him the Protector of Emigrants or in some other manner.

Telegram to the Government of India, Home Department, No. M.—613 P ,
dated the 2nd June 1897 :—
" It is considered urgently necessary, in order to prevent re-infection of
Bombay, to quarantine at Bombay under Act of 1870 vessels bring-
ing passengers from Cutch Mandvi and neighbourhood. Prepara-
tion of necessary rules has been ordered in anticipation sanction."
Telegram from the Government of India, Home Department, No. 1 654-
Sanitary, dated the 5th June 1897 :—
" Your telegram M.—613-P., dated 2nd, quarantine at Bombay against
vessels bringing passengers from Cutch. Government of India
consider it desirable that Bombay Government should issue order
under Epidemic Diseases Act enforcing, in respect of Cutch,
measures prescribed for vessels from infected ports in paragraph 12,
my letter 1623. dated 1st, forwarding Venice Convention.
Telegram to the Chairman, Bombay Plague Committee, No. M.—665-P.,
dated the 6th June 1897.
Letter from the Chairman, Bombay Plague Committee, No. 3769, dated
the 7th June 1897 :—
"With reference to your telegram No. 612-P. of the 6th instant, I have
the honour enclosed proposals for quarantine for Cutch vessels
observing that though steamers have ceased touching at Cutch
Mandvi, certain steamers touch at Salaya, a point easy of access
from Cutch Mandvi; further, in connection with the foregoing, that
to ensure inspection of Cutchis who entrain above Ahmedabad or at
that station, a careful inspection should be made of all downward
railway traffic there."
Letter from the Chairman, Bombay Plague Committee, No. 3798, dated the
8th June 1897 :—
"The exodus from Cutch Mandvi to Bombay which,until recently, was all
by boat will, when the rains set in, it is anticipated, be by way of
Wawania to Mandvi and thence to Bombay by rail. Owing to the
fact that it is not possible to so carefully examine passengers by rail
as by sea, it is feared, that the exodus may be a serious menace to
Bombay during the rains.
"2. I beg, therefore, to suggest to Government that a quarantine camp be
established at Ahmedabad. At this camp all passengers from west
of Wadlnvan should be detained eight days as is now done in
Bombay for all Cutch Mandvi people arriving by steamer. The
camp should be capable of holding at least 500 people, might be
constructed of bamboos, jowlis and mats, as has been done in
Bombay.
" 3. 1 am therefore to ask the decision of Government in the matter."
Telegrams to the Commissioner, N. D., and the Political Agent, Kathia-
war, No. M.—697-P., dated the loth June 1897 : —

tion camps established at all routes. Should plague break out
Bhuj, propose closing all routes across the Runn after due notice.
Please wire as soon as any indigenous casé occurs Bhuj."
Telegrams to the Commissioner, N. D., and the Political Agent, Kathia-

" In continuation M.—697-P. Can you devise means for detecting all
arrivals from Cutch Mandvi, and if necessary, detaining them in
camps of observation. Ask Political Agent, Cutch, for all assistance
he can give."
Telegram from the Political Agent, Kathiawar, No. 317, dated the nth
June 1897.;—-
" Observation Camps have existed for some time at all entries into Kathia-
war by sea and land from Cutch ; medical inspection, disinfection,
eight days' detention."
Demi-official letter from the Chairman, Bombay Plague Committee, dated
the 10th June 1897, to the Private Secretary to His Excellency the
,
Governor :—
" Your letter of 11th June, with accompaniment (telegram of 5th June, we
have carefully considered the matter, and we look at it in this
way.
" 1. Quarantine can be imposed if a ship has touched at an infected port
or is itself infected.
U 2. The vessels which now bring Cutch Mandvi people do touch at Salaya,.
which is itself a heavily infected port, and it was to stop that traffic
that the quarantine rules against vessels were proposed.
During
the rains no Cutch Mandvi people can arrive by sea in any Karachi
vessels except the ones that call at Salaya, as steamers will not put
in at any Cutch or Kathiawr ports except Salaya, and even that
port is a dangerous one in the south-west monsoon. I herefore
there need be no quarantine against Karachi vessels unless they
touch at Salaya.
"3. As, however, Shepherd and Company have now decided only to run-
one steamer a fortnight from Karachi -viâ Salaya; and as the-
Venice Conference Rules apparently do not, even in the case of
vessels less than ten days out from infected port, contemplate strict
quarantine against the vessel itself, we think that our proposal to
quarantine vessels from ports between Karachi and Diu may, for
the present, be shelved, and passengers from such ports be treated
as now, i.e., segregation in camp on shore, and vessels given pratique
after disembarkation of the passengers. The fact also that vessels
conveying infected people and cargo should not be treated more
severely than trains under similar circumstances should be taken into
consideration.
"4. It should, however, be remembered that after the cessation of the rains,
free communication will again take place between Bombay and all
Cutch and Kathiawar ports, and it would be well if rules were drawn.

up and held in readiness for future contingencies ; and these rules
should be on lines which, whilst permitting quarantine of the vessel
also empowers the removal of that quarantine when passengers
have been removed. The above, I think, will meet the case and
keep us prepared for any emergency."
Letter to the Commissioner of Customs, Salt, Opium and Abkari, No.
p_86o-P., dated the ist July 1897 :•—
" I am directed to forward the accompanying copy of a letter from the
Chairman, Bombay Plague Committee, dated 16th instant, on the
subject of the protection of the port of Bombay from plague infection
from Cutch ports and to request that the necessary rules may be
drawn up, in consultation with such officers as you may deem neces-
sary, as suggested in the concluding portion of the Chairman's
letter."
"Memoranda to the Chairman, Bombay Plague Committee, the Commis-
sioner, N. D., and the Collector of Ahmedabad, No. P. — 902-P.,
dated the 7th July 1897 :—
Forwards, for information, the following copy of a memorandum of the
measures for protecting the Kathiawar State from plague infection
from Cutch : —
"In view of the recent virulent outbreak of plague in the Native State of
Cutch, it has been necessary to take special precautionary steps to
prevent the introduction of plague into other parts of the Presidency.
At the commencement of the outbreak the principal danger lay in the
infection being carried by passengers leaving Cutch ports by steamer
or craft, and measures were accordingly adopted to detain under
observation all persons arriving at Bombay, Karachi, and other
ports in the Bombay Presidency, who might, in the opinion of the
local Plague Authorities, be considered 'suspicious.' It has also,
however, been found necessary to consider the means that should
be adopted for watching and regulating the traffic from Cutch into
Kathiawar by the following routes, which were available :—
