1t Resembles in Character the Great
Plague of London IN 1865.
WHAT THE DISEASE IS LIKE.
Raging in Hongkong and CantOn-sixty
Thousand Dead In the Latter City and
Forty a Day In the Former-DHe TO
Filth and Rats Panic Stricken People

SHANGHAI, CHJNA.-The news of
the outbreak of the plague at Ii ong
kong has doubtless reached the Her
aid ere this by telegraph, but no such
necessarily brief communication on
the subject can convey an adequate
idea of the character and extent of
the visitation which is rayagiDg Can
ton, Pakhoi and Hongkong, and
throwing this part of the world gen
orally into state of terror and panic
almost without parallel.
The disease has long been raging in
the two first-named places, and it has
carried off tens of thousands OF vic
Tins in the last few weeks, but SO long
as il was confined to China very little
was said aboU' it in print. The mo-
ment it reached Hongkong, however,
which it did last week, the alarm be-
came great and threw the colonists
and the government of that island,
as well as the foreign and native resi-
dents of the coast ports into state of
terror and alarm. Even in Hongkong
an effort seems to have been made at
first to keep the existence of the pes
thence secret, bat it spread so fast and
was so horribly fatal in its effects that
1t was found impossible to conceal the
dread truth for more than a few days.
HoNGKoNG AN INFECTED PORT.
On Saturday night (12th inst.) the
French and Portuguese consuls here
issued notification, procIaiming
Hong kong an infected port. On the
| Monday folywing, the entire body of
| foreign cOnsuls united in representa-
| ton, calling upon the Chinese author
| tiles at Shanghai TO i'm .ose quarantine
| regulations upon all vessels coming
| from Hongkong or Canton. The
| French mail steamer, which left
| Shanghai for Europe on the 18th inst.
| refused to call in at HOngkOng for
| either mails or passengers, and since
/ then all vessels are giving the port a
| wide berth.
| The plague, which is described by
| medical men as almost exactly SINH
| lar in appearance and symptoms TO
"the great plague of London" which
| devastated that city in 1863, was no.
| tlced in Canton about the end Of April,
| prior to which date there had been a
| prolonged drought.

SIXTY THOUSAND VICTIMS.

A foreign missionary resident in
Canton made syste matte inquiries,
which he AYERS show that mp TO the
Sth instant, at least so, 900 people have
been carried off. All the immense
business of the city was at a stand
still, and the inhabitants who could
do so were fleeing the country, while
those who remained were endeavor-
ing to stay the progress of the terror
by the most eXtraVagaut ''joss pid-
gin - or worship of their idols, vain
rites in which the highest Off .ers of
the Government joined. Several
medical and other experts were dis
patched from Hougkong to inquire
int the cause of the plague, and they
all agreed that it was due primarily to
the Incredible filth, the abominable
habits and the poverty of the Canton
csc, aided, no doubt, by the prolonged
drought, which caused the filth in the
open sewers to germinate into hideous
forms of life.
ENTIRELY CONFINED TO THE CHINESE

ness of the Cantonese for rats as an

1T BROKE OUT IN FILTH.

The first sign observed was the ap
pearauce Of thousands of rats, swollen
and evidently dying, crawling up from
the open sewers and the houses of that
abominahly filthy city. These vermin
are invariably the precursors of all
such visitations in Southern China,
and every year they give notice of the
appearance of the plague in Pakhoi,
where il appears to be almost en-
demic. The disease is of a bubOnic
character, with purplish or black
swellings in the glandular regions,
in the groin, armpit, under the knees,
ard in the neck, accompanied by ter
rife fever, the temperature going at
bound up to 105 and over l06.
1t Is frightfully rapid in its course.
Purging diarrhoea at once sets in, and
q state of delirium followed by coma
Is reached in three Or four hours.
Very strong men have resisted the
attack for two days and then sue
cumb bed, but as many as so per cent,
of those attacked in Canton died in
one day. Those who held out for
three or four days generally recovered,
but they were very few. Six thous-
and fatal cases are known to have Oc-
Cured in one district in Canton-in
the old Mohammedan quarter o. the
city-wil hin a week, the figures
being checked by the number of coffins
given out for the burial of the dead by
one charitable institution.
