Inspection Ceases

Inspection Ceases
DR. John NJ Holt, in charge of the
federal quarantine service in this dis
trict, yesterday received telegraphic
instructions from his department at
Washington, D. c., to cease all fur
ther inspection Of vessels arriving in
this port from San Francisco, with
regard to bubonic plague, which has
been in force for the past year. The
reason assigned for the abatement of
inspection is the long time that has
elapsed since the last case developed
in San Francisco and the complete
and rigid command the department
now has OF the situation. OF course
under the regulations, and as former
", all cases Of sickness will be mani
tested by the flying of the yellow
flag" on ships from there, as else
where, and these will be attended as
usual. This will be a matter Of great
relief to all concerned including mas
ters of vessels in the coast trade, and
all hands in the quarantine depart
ment here.
