A MILDLY CONTAGIOUS TYPE
REPORT ON THE BUBONIC PLAGUE
AT SAN FRANCISCO.

Alarming Extent-Steps for
Eradication.

The public health reports of the marine
hospital service for March contain a state
ment relative to the existence of the bubon-
ic plague in San Francisco. There have
been ten cases, all fatal, since January 1
last. The report says:
"Of the above cases. those reported in
February, six cases and deaths between
February and II were reported by spe-
cial commission appointed by the Secretary

situation in San Francisco. This commits
sion consisted of Prof. Simon F1exner Of
the University of Pennsylvania, chairman;
Prof. F. G. Novy of the University of Mich
1gan and Prof. L. S. Barker of the Unver-
sity of Chicago, recorder.
Plague has been reported in San Fran
cisco otnclally in the public health reports
since March 6, 1900, thirty-two cases, all
fatal, having been reported and published
IN previous numbers of the public health
reports, and the facts were reported in the
annual report to Congress of the Secretary
OF the Treasury. dated December T. 1900
while the correctness of the diagnosis
has never been doubted by the bureau or
the department. it was deemed advisable to
summon an independent board of experts
composed as above mentioned On compile
tlon of their labors the results of their in
Eest'sat1ons, as outlined above, were imme-
dlate'y communicated by them to the gov
reSentstives Of the business interests of

business interests of San Francisco and the

rived In Washington, and conference was
neld between this committee and the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury and surgeon general
OF the marine hospital service in which
conference all the facts were discussed and
written agreement made for harmonious
ACTON in suppressive measures under the
ADVICE OF Surgeon J. H. White who is on
the ground.
on the return Of this committee to San

The disease has been confined almost
exclusively to the Chinese and an examina

has been no time during that period when

THE prevailing type SO far as known is
OF the bubonic form which, according to
M. de Brun, is Of mildly contagious char
acter, but it is undetermined how soon
these cases may give rise to cases of a
graver and more contagious form of the
disease, which emphasizes the necessity of
prompt and thorough measures to eradicate
every form of the disease"
