MANY DIE
OF PLAGUE
DREAD DISEASE CLAIMS MANY
VICTIMS AT PIzAGuA,
CHILL.

M aaltan, Mexico, April 80. - Pas
sengers from Chilean ports bring the
first full information concerning the
terrible ravages of the bubonic plague
in the city of Pizagua, Chilli. For
some time the deaths in Pizagua rang
ed from ten to thirty day. The au-
thorities we're unable to enforce
burial. Corpses were thrown into the
streets to decompose and spread the
contagion, but little Roadway has
been made in the fight on the disease
and it looked as if the entire popu-
lation OF the stricken city might be
wiped out by the plague. Persons
have been shot down by the soldiers
while attempting to escape from their
guard
