Bubonic Plague.

» Leading doctors of Adelaide are satisfied that the complaint of the man who has died was one of bubonic plague. The hospital has been, placed under strict' quarantine. The victim, whose name was Appstein, arrived from New York in November last, and deserted from his ship. During the voyage a number of the crew suffered from stomach troubles, i but they were not regarded as serious. A boy named McCann, who contracted the disease from Appstein, is now in the hospital. Efforts are being made to trace the origin of the disease. The outbreak of plague at Adelaide has caused a momentary feeling of alarm at Melbourne. The Government has obtained a small supply of serum from Sydney, and more is ex-. pected from India. No quarantine against Adelaide has been imposed pending further information. Only three cases of plague (one black and two white children) have been reported at Noumea since early last week. One white and one black child have died.
