Once more, I regret to announce plague is present with us to the extent of six and seven cases per day. The Wanchai district has been declared infected and x strict house to house visitation instituted. We hope that as. th thorities have con menced stringent measures early in the outbreak the further spread of the disease may be checked; though not in time to prevent "those who go down to the sea in ships" sullering the unplewantness and antioyauce of quarantine, ax Singapore: already imposes nine days and Saigon twelve, from date of leaving Hongkong.
