Harbin, March 30.
During the past week, attention has been focussed upon crowded Harbin as the centre of infection. With a total population of 300,000, of whom almost one-third are Russians, the greatest anxiety naturally prevails among all classes of the community. Fortunately, in spite of opposition from the ignorant populace led by a few unscrupulous men, our work of salvation goes on systematically, and the sick, dead and contacts are properly placed with no untoward results. Although nearly 500 sick have died within the walls of the hospital since the beginning of the epidemic, the bodies have been carefully cremated in 9 larg pit, leaving practically no trace of plague's cruel effects. The isolation wagons for housing the contacts under the care of Dr. Chap-blick are as carefully kept as ever, only 4 to 5 per cent. of the persons confined developing the disease and being immediately sent te the Hospital.
