THE ORIENTAL SCOURGE.
Words of Warning from Yokoha-
mas Health Officer.
THE PLAGUE STEADILY INCREASES

The Mortality in Hong Kong from the Dis
ease Now Averages a Hundred Cases a
Dsy-How the United states Should be
Protected.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.--Recognizing the
difficulties in the way of obtaining ac-
curate information upon sanitary mat
ters from Oriental countries DR.. Stuart
Eldridge, the health officer of the port of
Yokohama and member Of the imperial
board of health of Toxic, has sent to the
Marine hospital bureau semi-official
statement of the epidemic of plague in
southern China. It appears from his re-
port that this scourge, of which only frag-
mentary news has been received, is one of
the most fearful on record, having its
greatest hold at the port Of Hong Kong,
where most of the foreign commerce
touches.
The disease broke out in Canton late
last February, and at about the same time
was epidemic at Pakhoi, port not often
visited by Europeans. During March and
April it steadily increased until it as
sumed gigantic proportions. According
to the letter of Dr. Eldridge the eastern
authorities treated the disease with their
customary indifference. Although Hong
Kong is the center of trade in the east, he
says, but half days journey from Can
ton and in constant communication there
with, the existence of danger was ignored.
Several cases appeared in Hong Kong dur
ing the first days of May, but not until
the 10th of that month was any official &C
tion taken. 1t has steadily increased in
that place until the mortality has reached
100 a day, despite the exodus of 100000
Chinese and many Europeans. The ma
tives in most cases have left on feeling the
first symptoms of the disease, in the hope
of dying in their native villages while a
dozen Europeans have been attacked and
most of them have died.
From Canton and Hong Kong the dis
ease is Speeding through the neighboring
country, and will probably soon appear in
the coast towns of China north of Hong
Kong. because from the carelessness in
these ports no effective quarantine is
likely to be established, Several cases
have already occurred on steamers trad
ing from Hong Kong to Chinese ports,
but without serious consequences on ac-
count of prompt action by the ships sur
geons.
operation in Japan, holding ships from
the infected district nine days after arri-
val or after the last case was abated, and
but one infected ship has reached Japan.
"If l may presume to advise" says DIR.
Eldridge. 81 would say that the most
stringent measures may need to be taken
to protectth the United States, particularly
as regards certain classes of goods from
China likely to carry infection-rags, old
cotton, etc, and also such manufactured
articles as are made in the native work
shops, with perhaps case of plague dy-
ing in the same room-such things are
staw mating, embroideries, and every
sort of textile fabric. So long as the dis
ease is kept out of Japan, so long will this
country be the best bulwark for the
United States against the importation OF
the disease"
