One additional case Of bubonic
plague was chartred Sunday by the
board of health, and four more suspec-

under observation. The board has
authorized the establishing Of TEN.
porary hospital camp at Ingleside.
Thence the $50 inmates of the city

and the latter buildings-old frame
structures. long ago condemned-will
probably be burned.
The first case of bubonic plague ap-
peared on May ~ at the United States
marine hospital. in a Finnish sailor,
taken from the tug Wiscard. There
after no cases appeared in the city I'M
til August ~, when two cases were
reported from the North Beach dis
trict. Immediately the officials Of all
hospitals and dispensaries were warn
ed to be on the lookout for similar
cases, with the result that to date Is
authentic cases in all have been re-
ported.
There exists today no doubt Of the
causes Of the so-called bubonic plague,
nor Of the means by which 1t may be
eradicated. Wherever international
commerce exists, and in proportion to
the volume of that commerce. the rat
and the diseases Of the rat. one of
which is plague, are bound to appear.
There are said to be some five varie-
ties of rat flea, of which two will bite
