FOUR DEATHS AT SYDNEY.

PACIFIC ISLANDS DECLARED INFECTED. SYDNEY, Nov. 27. Four more deaths from influenza occurred at the quarantine station. Owing to reports that Fiji is badly afflicted, the whole of the Pacific Islands are now to be regarded as infected. Vessels coming thence will bo treated similarly to New Zealand shipping. Three inoculating depots were opened in the city to-day, and were rushed. The Manuka has been released from quarantine. Medical men here, referring to the London cable, that the Newcastle Vigilance Committee had been informed that the influenza epidemic there was due to bad bacon, and that a local medico had successfully treated 400 patients for swine fever rather thait influenza, scouted the idea. Experir cnees in Sydney provide no for such a theory.
