The Bubonic Plague.
- 0 SYDNEY. Dr Ashburton Thompson, President of the Board of Health, in the course of an interview, said he regards the plague as being in command of the city, and that its spread is due absolutely to rats. Nothing is surer than that Sydney will be a ruined city unless the rats are killed. The only people who appear to be v ignorant of this are the inhabitants. 5 Up to April 9th there have been ninety-two cases of plague in the city, thirty of which have terminated fatally. Among the cases of p'ague re* ported on the 9th Was that of a Chinaman who died in Stephen street, a thoroughfare largely popu- v lated with Asiatics. His case was a very violent one. The street has been quarantined.
