NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Because of the bubouic plague in san Francisco, where officers of the marine hospital service are combating the disease in cooperation with the state and city health boards, Dr Wyman, surgeon general of the service, has issued some extracts from the lectures of famous physicians before the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of London. These physicians were sent by the British government to study the plague in Bombay, Calcutta and elsewhere in Indian and other portions of the world.
 Dr. AshburtOn Thompson. the noted English physician. after studying the disease in India. came to the conclusion that rats are overrun with fleas, that when a rat dies of the plague the feas leave the rodent and go to human be- ings, transferring the terrible disease. Examination have disclosed that rats affected with fleas easily transmit the disease to other rats. The claim is also made that rats infected with the dis ease come into contact with the food of individuals, thus transferring the dis ea"e.
