REPORTS ON CH|NIs PlAeuE.
An Effort to Stop Its Progress by
Tricking Chinese Deities.
Why Nlongollans Celebrated New
Years bay in Advance.

WASHINGTON, July 2L-Additional
Information regarding the black plague
in China has been received at the Marine
Hospital through the Department OF
state. Minister Dunn. writing from
Toxic under date of June Is. reports the
disease to be on the Increase In Hong
Kong. Latest advices, he says, are that
up to June I over 1880 deaths had oc-
CURED in Hong Kong, and several Eu-
ropeans had died OF the plague. a very
small percentage only OF those who are
attacked recover.
Under date of June -, Minister Dunn
says that latest advices from Hong
Kong report a slight abatement OF the
epidemic He also incloses 10 the State
Department a notification by the Jap
anesc Government. which requires cit
liens of the United states in Japan and
the commanders and masters or naval
and merchant vessels arriving at Maya
saki, Kobe. Yokohama and lfakodate
to conform to the imperial ordinance
for the regulation of the inspection Of
vessels arriving from cholera Infect ed

vailing has caused great uneasiness,
and every prccaution has been taken to
prevent its introduction into districts
not yet infected. Great difficulty arises.
however, from the utter inability of the
Chinese to understand and their I'M
Willingness to comply with the most
elementary principles Of sanitation.
In Hong Kong the new cases have
numbered between forty or fifty and
fifteen or twenty per day, with about
20 per cent. of deaths. At Canton it
was estimated that 5000 deaths had &C
CURED up to May s. At that city a
novel and thoroughly Chinese method
of checking the disease was hit upon.
A fortune teller having given out that
the plague would die away with the
approach of the Spring solstice, the
people of Canton. In order to deceive
the gods of sickness, made the first day
of the fourth moon, May 8, their New
Years Day.
Every ceremony by which the day Is
celebrated was gone through with
scrupulous exactitude. The local au-
thorities assisted in this farcical per-
formance. The New Years festivities
in the presence of such widespread death
had a somewhat CHASTITY character.
Under date of July II the United
States Consul at Liege, Belgium, reports
that thirteen deaths from cholera had
occurred in that city during the week
ended July I. The past week, he says,
the newspapers reported four or five
new cases each day. SO great is the
confidence OF the people In the power
