PLAGUE NEWS FROM BOMBAY
England Feels Pretty safe, Though the
Continent IL Scared.

(Cooyrighted 1897 by the Associated Press)
London. Jan. 23.-The plague news
from Bombay is not reassuring. Tne
government sanitary commissioner has
reported seriously on the situation but
Enclishmen regard the chances of the
plague getting a foothold in Great Brit
ain as being remote, on account of the
excellent sanitary conditions. But on
the continent the feeling of alarm has
clarly increased the past week. and the
continental press demands the most
rigorous inspection of everything inn
ported from India.
Some excitement was caused in Paris
during the week by the storpage OF
small steamer, bound from London to
Paris, at Bougival, a village on the
Seine about four miles north of Yer
sailes A rumor spread that the steam
er was infected with the plague and ii
transpired that she had on beard car
pets and bedding rom India. But 1t de-
veloped later that they hahd been
stored in London for the past six
months. and the authorities allowed her
TO proceed to Paris.
Along the unsanitary ports of the Med,-
terranean Ettoral grave fears are express
ed that the plague will be introduced on
French minister for the interior. NJ. Barthu
has ordered large quantities OF anti-plague
serum to be prepared and sent to the
French ports.
At meeting Of the council Of public as
sistance in Paris, a note OF alarm was
struck in remark that infected Indian
carpets may already have been brought
into the French country. DR.. Brouardei.
moreover, stated that the danger of the
plague reaching EEurope was imminent;
that the preventive means OF France only
existed In rudimentary form; that France
could DO nothing to prevent the entrance
of the plague and could do little 20 combat
ii. These grave remarks from DR.. Brou-
del have created a deep impression and at
the cabinet council held at the Elysee pas-
ace today, the minister OF foreign affair.
VI. Hanotaux, and the minister of the IN
terror communicated TO their colleagu
and the president the sanitary measures
adopted by the government.
These include forb:dding pilgrims from
leaving Tunis. Algeria and Senegambia for
Mecca this year. and President Faure has
signed decree imposing severe penalties
upon the import of merchandise from the
infected parts OF Indian through other
ports than Marseilles Pauillac, Havre, st.
NaZaire, Dunkirk and Algers
The italian sanitary council has consid-
cred the situation and Il is understood that
it advises against the project for a general
quarantine, as being commercial ruinous
and inefficscious.
