THOUSANDS or NATIVES FLEE.
THE BUBONIC PLAGUE SPREADING IN BON
BAY-ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY
DEATHS IN TWO DAYS.

London. Dec. 29.-The Bombay correspondent
Of The Daily Mail" represents that the bubonic
plague is spreading rapidly and is exciting
much fear. The official figures show that there
were Ia new cases and 1870 deaths from the
disease during the last two days. These figures,
however, are misleading, owing TO the mac
curacy Of the native doctors, and the number
Of new cases were probably considerably in ex
cess of the official returns
The death rate is said to be extremely high.
Two hundred thousand natives have fled from
the city and the panic is spreading. Special
trains have been put the railways for the
of refugees, and these are crammed with
people seeking to escape attack b. the disease.
The European residents have so far remained in
the city, bu; they are getting anxious. 1t Is
doubtful whether any Europeans have fallen
victims TO the plague. The commercial inter-
ests combine 10 stie the facts regarding the
lavagcs OF the disease
