Filthy C1t1o8s
VANCOUVER, B. c., June 13.-The most
important news brought by the Empress
of Japan is of the alarming spread Of
the virulent plague that first appeared in
Canton at the end of April. The plague
is similar TO the great plague in London
in the sixteenth century and 10 carrying
off large numbers of victims. :
1t soon spread to Hong Kong, appear
ing there in May. 1t ia chiefly confined
to Chinese. The plague has paralyzed
business to large extent, as many lead
ing steamship lines refuse to take either
passengers or cargo from Hong Kong.
The symptoms of the disease are as
in the shape of chill there is sudden
onset of fever, rising to 1o5 degrees or
over.
There is much headache accompanied
by stupor. In twelve to fourteen hours a
glandulaF swelling occurs in the neck or
arm pit increasing to the size of q fowls
egg, being hard OF tender. With or
without decline of fever, the patient
sinks into condition of coma aud dies
at the end of "a or 4S hours. If six days
is reached, recovery is possible.
The Canton correspondent of a Hong
Kong paper under date of May 8. says:
Scarcely a house has had not some one
dead The plague commenced in the
Mohammaden quarters and one hundred
are reported daily. On May 10 it WAS
found that the disease had reached Hong
Kong and energetic steps were at once
taken to cleanse the infested localities
However, hospitals were opened for
the sick and the ship Hygra was moored
in the harbor for the accommodation of
patients.
The Chinese appeared at first to be in
clined to cooperate with the authorities
in bringing to light known cases Of the
plague, bot probably because of the
heavy mortality they became more and
more distrustful.
The first determined stand against the
authorities was made May 10, when
houses were barricaded and stones were
thrown at officers making house to- house
Up to the latest reports 1913
cases have occurred and 800 deaths. The
schools have been closed and a panic ex-
lists among the Chinese, many of whom
