PLAGUE IN PORTO RICO
APPARENTLY CHECKED
No New Cases Have Develop
ed, According to Report
Received in Capital.

Bubonic plague in Porto Rico is appar-
emily yielding to methods of suppression
instituted by experts sent to the island by
the public health and marine hospita
service.
The report received from Porto Rice
today by DIR. Rucker. directing from
Washington the campaign against bu-
bonic plague announces that no new
cases developed yesterday and that il
looks as though the progress Of the plague
was definitely checked.
Protection against bubonic plague from
Cuban ports is the purpose of a resolution
introduced in the House today by Repre-
sentative Foss of Illinois. which asks that
the Secretary Of State be directed to re-
port to Congress at its next session If the
Cuban republic is living up to the pro-
visions Of the Cuban treaty of May %
1903, which required that government to
keep it's cities in a clean and santa ry
condition.
Inquiry Provided For.
The resolution recites that reports state
the unclean condition of Cuban cities is
responsible for bubonic plague, which is a
menace to American ports, particularly
those of the south. 1t also provides for a
Congressional committee OF I'VE TO 1nSeS-
tigate the sanitary condition of Cuba and
report to the House at its next session.
One plague-infected rat has been found
on the water front in New Orleans. This
was the result of an anti-rat crusade
started by the city OF New Orleans and
the state health authorities Of Louisiana.
The character of the infection was con-
firmed by Surgeon White of the public
health and marine hospital service at the
federal laboratory in New Orleans. The
dock where the rat was caught has not
been connected in any way with the Porto
Rican shipping, 50 it is thought the
infection has come from some other
source.
4 vigorous anti-rat campaign has been
started. An area of sixty city blocks
around the focus of infection has been
marked out. The rat killers are closing
in, cleaning up the area from the city
side toward the water front.
In Porto Rico there have been forty
five cases of plague up to date. The num-
Der In Havana is three.
