THE SMALL-POX.
A LEGACY FROM CHINA.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Sydney, June 4. The health authorities are unable to trace the source of contagion. The woman found suffering from small-pox resided at North Sydney, and was removed to the Coast Hospital under the assumption that she was suffering from scarlet fever. The impression is growing, despite tho opinion of tho Board of Health to tho contrary, that the outbreak of small-pox is due to the preinaturo release of the Australian China Contingent. The men brought a quantity of loot, which may have carried .the germs.
FIVE MORE CASES.
