The following official announce
ment was made today concerning the
local plague situation. Rumors of an
alarming nature having reached the
board of health in regard to the So
called bubonic plague outbreak, the
president of the board Of health by
its authority, hereby declares that
there exists at the present time in San

intention to make such a quarantine.
So far there have been detected but
twenty-four verified cases Of the dis
