the west side OF Pasque Island while be-

U S. TO FIGHT PLAGUE.
AID FOR SAN FRANCISCO.
Government to Assume Cost OF
Labor and Ser19ce on Coast.
rFrorn nc Trlbune Bnreaul )


Washington. Nov. 19.-The burden of fighting
the bubenic plague has become too heavy for
San Francisco to bear unaided. and the officials
OF that city to-day appealed to Surgeon Gem
eraI Vyrnan OF the Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service for financial assistance. on
the representation of the surgeon general. the
Secretary of the Treasury advised the officials
that for the time being the government would
assume ttA cost of the labor and service. while
the city must continue to furnish the needed
supplies and maintain the necessary plague hos
pitals AS soon as Congress convenes Senator
Flint will bring the matter TO the attention of
Congress, and an effort Will be made TO have
funds appropriated TO meet the necessary ex-
penses.
On September II the Board of Supervisors of
San Francisco appropriated $4,000 to fight the
plague and assured the health officials that
thereafter they could count on funds 10 the
amount Of $4,000 a month for that purpose 1t
was then assumed that would prove adequate
for all purposes. but, the contrary the ex-
penses have increased until recently the cost
10 the city has been at the rate OF $4,000 a
month 1t is now estimated that the expenses
which the government has agreed to meet will
amount to about 100000 month and that fof
a time at least the city will be compelled TO
meet further expenses to the amount of S25'OOO
q month.
Up to November . there have been eighty-tour
cases of plague in San Francisco and ffty-four
deaths The quarantine has been gradually ex-
tended up and down the coast. A rigid quar-
antine is maintained at Seattle and also at oak
land, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, San PEDRO
and Los Angeles while it is now purposed 70
establish a new quarantine station at Monterey
OF course with the plague present it is neces-
sary to make inspections far in excess OF the
actual cases of the disease For instance dur
ing the week ended November > forty-f1ve cases
were inspected, of which only two proved to be
the plague and seventy bodies were examined.
Of which only four proved to have died from
plague. Moreover Z 1893 premises were inspected
because of actual disease or OF suspicious
deaths
In fighting the plague It is necessary to fight
its spread among rats quite vigorously
among human beings. it is generally spread
by infected rats Great quantities of rat poison
are distributed, and every nook and Granny is
| searched for tracks Of rat carcasses. which. If
left 10 purify, eaten by their fellows. who
thus contract the disease and continue to spread

It is the expectation Of the members Of the
l California delegation that when the gravity Of
the situation is submitted to Congress ample
funds to combat the disease will be Immediately
