at Port Of Spain was excellent. the
government Of Curacao yesterday re-
moved tho quarantine that was declar-

cause OF the bubonic plague.
This step was taken IN spite Of tho
receipt of private letters from Port OF
Spain asserting that a meteorological
examination of rats there showed the
existence Of the plague among the ami

hazardous because. should the plague
make its appearance here, II would
