As, however, no particulars have yet been given to show the history of the infection, the Government have telegraphed asking for a further [report,

Though tho symptoms have been described as (hose of ,1111 crupfive disease, with pustules, this description, it has been suggested, applies equally to chicken pox, so (hat until more is known as (0 the course of the illness, it cannot bo certain if it is tliu more serious disease. * The girl has been vaccinated, so that the attack, if it he small-pox, will, no doubt, be in a mild form,

A telegram was received by the Government yesterday from the horough authorities at New Plymouth asking for information, arul suggesting that tberunniiig of trains from Elllmm should lie stopped.
