Plague Falling in Harbin

Harbin, March 6.

From the beginning of the epide mic till March 1, 69 cases of plague have been registered here. This figure excludes the cases of plague which have occurred in the Chinese city where it is extremely difficult to estimate exact figures owing to the fact that the Chinese often bury their dead without reporting to the police.

The epidemic is gradually diminishing and fresh outbursts are not anticipated.—Reuter.
