San Francisco, March IA case Of
what is supposed to be bubonic plague,

is yet uncertain, has been discovered in

TO be.

1.ater-A large force Of police Is be-

quarantine placed upon that section
pending the outcome OF the bacteria
logical examinations Of those portions
OF the body removed from the suspected
Chinese. The physicians interested in
the case are not yet prepared 20 make
a definite statement regarding the
case. but from others who have had
experience in such matters It is learned
the case will hardly prove TO be one OF
plague. as the dead man has long been
a resident OF this city. Had he been
a recent arrival from the Orient, great
er alarm would be felt.
The Gordon Of police now watching
Chinatown is kept there simply as Z
precautionary measure
