OrieutaIs to Be Iuoculated.

San Francisco May 'R1.-There is no
change in the plague situation. No new
cases have been discovered. The chief
interest centers about the attitude Of
the Chinese and Japanese towards the
attempt Of the board of health to inoc-
ulate them. Few Orientals have been
willing to submit. 1t Is stated that If
the local board Of health is unable to
handle the Chinese the federal authori-
ties will take charge.
FEDERAL OFFICER IN CHARGE.
San Francisco, May 21.-The federal
authorities at Washington instructed
DR.. Kinyoun, the quarantine officer at
this port, to take charge of measures to
suppress the bubonic plague. This ac-
tion is thought to be due to the inabil-
| ity of the San Francisco authorities to
compel the Chinese and Japanese to be
inoculated.
