Chefoo, May 3.
The str. Kishniev, of the Russian Volunteer Fleet, arrived in Chefoo yesterday flying' the yellow flaz. The port doctor was quickly on board and was not long in pronounce ing the case of sickness as plague. One of the, coolies had sickened and died when the ship was a day out from Vladivostok and the other case revealed itself shortly before the vessel reached Chefoo. The doctor had the ship put into the strictest of quarantine at once. She had not entered the Breakwater entrance and lay out some distance from it. Thanks to the vigilance of the Port Doctor no case of plague has thus far entered Chefoo. Rumours have been current from time to time that cases of plague have occurred, but investigations revealed that there was no truth in the reports.
By cable it was since been re ported that 100 contacts escaped from quarantine.—Ed.

All the events were keenly contested. The running. jumping and vaulting were excel. lent, though the working off of ill the heats made the programme somewhat long and tedious. There Was an exceptionally large crowd of Chinese spectators present, and the Police Band was in attendance.
