PLAGUE ON THE INCREASE
Letter From an American Missionar
In India Gives Information.

Letter From American Missfonar
In Jndia Gives Information.
Boston, Feb. 1.-THE American board
has received a letter from Miss Anna
l.. Millard. dated Wal. Satara District.
India, in which she says that ever SINCE
the plague broke out II has bc.n steadi-
ly on the increase. and IL has now such
q hold on the city that ii seems as II
nothing could check II. The people are
panic-stricken. and 200 900. at least. are
said 10 have left the city. Extra trains
are running every day to accommodate
the crowds seeking to escape the plague.
There are about 200 deaths every day,
though the official government report Is
much smaller. The reason for this is
that, though the death rate is abnormal,
the people are so opposed to segregation
that they conceal cases in their houses
and when deaths occur report them as
simple fever cases.
Shops, offices. colleges. schools and
whole bazaars are closed, until trade is
almost paralyZed. Some one recently
said that It would probably take years
for the city TO recover Its former pros.
perity.
The ignorant and superstitious have.
from the first, rebelled against every
effort OF the health officials and the
municipal committees in trying to carry
OH segregation and the strict enforce
UIent OF sanitary rules. Through the
credulity OF the people. the priests are
reaping rich harvests.
The Bombay Gazette of Dec. 80 con-
tains the following:
Pundit Swaroopdas wires Us from
Shikarpur: II undertake to free Bonn
bay of its plague II goat flesh. fish and
liquor is supplied to me for sacrifcial
purposes in quantities sufficient to equal
approximately a days consumption in
Bombay. / further condition that nc
slaughter of larger animals (meaning,
of course, cows) should take place on the
day the sacrifice is offered. / am ready
to leave for Bombay on intimation. re-
Quire neither remuneration nor travel
ling expenses" No doubt hundreds will
be deceived by-this man. to whom they
will give everything he asks.
A dozen new missionaries would not
be too many to send into this Murathi
mission. The town from which / now
write, Wal. Is a bigoted Brahminical
centre. where the influence of medical
missionary would be untold.
