Of these points within day or two, and
The officers in charge of the several dis
szicts have been notified to prepare for
This duty. II is expected that the a1l-
Eorities on the soa coast will furnish a
certi3icato of inspection and disinfcction
of baggage TO each immigrant, without
which the latter will not be allowed to
snter the state" A number Of cases
