SLEEPING SICKNESS
NO FURTHER CASES REPORTED.
SERIOUS PHASE OF SITUATION.
(Per Pnss Association Copyright.)
W.HANGAREI, August 16. No further case of sleeping sickness was reported overnight from the Kaikolie and Rawene areas where the outbreak of this disease occurred in Maori settlements, two deaths of juveniles having taken place. A somewhat serious complexion was given to the situation by the presence of Rataira, whose followers congregated to the number of 53 at Ivaikohe, the desire to-accompany him to the Eighty Mile Beach involving other large assemblies en route, with the consequent danger of the spreading of the disease. So far the natives at Ivaikohe refuse either to disperse, or to relinquish their itinerary, despite special pleas by the health authorities and a deputation of pakebas, Ratana himself declining to interfere.
