In China has been received at the Marine

disease to be on the Increase In Hong

ropcans had died OF the plague. y very
small percentage only OF those Who are

Under date of June 30, Minister Dunn
says that latest alviccs fron Hong

ton at Pekin, says the plague now pre-

and every preCaution has been taken to
prevent its introduction into districts
not yet infected. Great difficulty arises.

Chinese to understand and their un-
Willingness to comply with the most

In Hong Kong the new cases have
numbered between forty or nifty and
fifteen or twenty per day, with about
10 per cent. of deaths. At Canton 1t
was estimated that 5000 deaths had oc-
CURED up to May s. At that city a
novel and thoroughly Chinese method
