coffee shops at the leper settlement,

things were not conductedly properly,
the only redress was on the bond and
the party had the right to appeal land

Hon. Henry E. Cooper,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Sir:-I have the honor to inform you
that, owing to an error on the part of |
the Japanese Home Dept, upon which |
am dependent for all statistics, the
number of cases Of small |
pox, occurring in Hiogo Ken, July 18th |
to July 21st, were not reported in my |
return Of the latter date.
The presence of epidemic variola in
Kobe and Hiogo appears to afford an
additional reason for the inspection
Of ships taking departure from Kobe, |
