ARRIVING SHIPS QUARANTINED.

An epidemic of bubonic plague has broken out in India and Hong Kong and spread to our troops in the Philippines. Several soldiers have died in Manila of what was called "a loathsome disease." Despite the best efforts in sanitary science to stamp it out, the plague appears to have resurfaced in this country.

In New York and Saint Denis, victims of plague were confirmed, and vessels arriving were given the choice of a doctor visiting each ship or turning around. Any bodies suspected of death from the disease should be immediately burned, even if the cause of expiry is not confirmed as bubonic plague by bacteriological examination.
