native named Kaanoa, a member of
Company II of the National Guard. The
irst knowledge of his sickness was
learned from Dr. c. b. Cooper who
stated that the soldier applied at the
Queens Hospital for admission. DR..
Cooper made an examination, and the
result, he felt, justified him in having

In regard to the two new cases of
plague yesterday, Dr. Wood stated:

One Is, there must be some particular
danger in connection with these cess
pools in Chinatown. The proportion of
two men out of a force of twenty on
the cycavators is tremendous. On the
other hand, the case of the guardsman
is another pointer, showing that the
Chinatown district is infected and
dangerous, and the sooner disposed of
by drastic measures the better. 1t is
a hopeful sign that we can trace all
these cases directly back to China
