representative one and comprised
selections from the classic school

heartily encored. Miss Coving- (

Americans have also departed.

tire city at once. The Charity Commits
sion will pay for the houses that have to
be burned and for all clothing destroyed.
A man attacked by the plague was found
on his way to Ell Castillo. He was brought
to the city to be sent to a lazareto, but he
died on the way there.
woman, in order to save her son from
being taken to lazareto, put him in bed
at home. His father and herself were, in
consequence. attacked by the plague and
they died within a few hours. The house
has been burned by the authorities.
The people seem to be afraid of being
taken to the lazaretos, preferring to re-
main at their houses when attacked by
the plague, but the authorities are con-
stantly hunting up sick people and taking
them to lazaretos. Many residents are be-
ing sent to the hospitals of observation
OF the deaths on Monday thirteen were
certified by physicians as being from
