HC Deb 06 May 1895 vol 33 c527
MR. HENNIKER HEATON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, if he has received any telegrams from the Governor of Hong Kong regarding a fresh outbreak of the Buebonic Plague, which caused such disastrous results there last year; and are the telegrams of a reassuring character?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

The telegrams as they are received have been and are communicated to the newspapers. A telegram of the 29th ultimo stated that three sporadic cases of the plague had occurred within the Colony. A telegram of the 4th instant stated that there were no more cases.
