ISOLATION BAN.
REIMPOSITION AT TE RAPA. MEASLES AMONG SOLDIERS. - HAMILTON, this day. Although the isolation ban at the special military camp at Te Rapa was only lifted on Sunday it has been reimposed again. The camp was hurriedly established over a fortnight ago when measles were discovered among some troops at Hopuhopu, and about 600 men have been confined to camp since then. When the ban was lifted on Sunday many of them enjoyed a day's leave, and all were looking forward to long week-end leave at the coming week-end. There were 14 measlee eases over the week-end, six yesterday and one thie morning. The camp notifies that the ban was lifted owing to a misunderstanding, and it has been imposed again. There is no indication when it will be lifted. There are now 52 soldiers in hospital.
