Mukden, Oct, 11.
The plague situation is improving, considerably. No further spread of the epidemic has occurred during the past week, and even in the worst affected locality,—Chienchiatien, where it had its origin, it a few new cases registered. A further encouraging sign, which augurs early stamping out of the dis case, is that so far there have been only bubonic but no pneumonic cases.
The elaborate precautions taken by the Chinese North Manchurian Plague Prevention Service, under the able direction of Dr. Wu Lien-tch, the S.MLR. Ca, and the C.E.R. seem guarantee against any dangers of the epidemic invading, new areas.
The total number of victims reached about 290 by the end of] September.
