RAVAGES Of THE EASTERN PLAGUE
A PANIC STRICKEN CITY.
Eight Hundred Deaths in the City Of
Bombay.

A cable message from Bombay snys; Eight
hundred deaths are reported up to date from
the plague, but the number is believed TO be
much larger. Crowds OF panic-strcken ma
tiyes are fleeing from the city. Trade and
trnvel are seriously affected.
The Government bacteHologists are OF the
opinion that the plague, unlike cholera. has
tendency TO stick to the locality where IL
originates. \ few authentic eases are report
ed in adjacent towns, but they are all of Bonn
bay origin.
The disease where imported was dying out
without spreading. In Bombay for two
months the plague remained confined to one
ward. 1t mas now spread to all districts OF
the city. and IL Increasing largely with the
cooler weather.
Only one case IL reported Of n person
directly attending patient having contract
ed the plague. The disease, though infec-
uous, has not been proved contagious.
The famine which threatened the whole of
India has been partly averted In certain dis
tricts 10y the recent rains. Grain speculation
continues and aggrayates the situation.
