These entries tare checked by the office of destination, which immediately informs the office of origin, by means of a Bulletin of verification, of any error in the statement of that office, amounting to a difference in weight of more than 50 grammes. 3.

In order to take into account the weight of the sacks Articles, etc., and packing and of the classes of articles exempt from ell sfiar oe all transit charges in conformity with the stipulations of ~ 8 of Article 4 of the Convention, the total amount of the account for closed mails is reduced by 10 per cent. 3.

Moreover, the crew and passengers may be subjected to a surveillance not to exceed five days from the arrival of the vessel. The landing of the crew may be forbidden during the same period except in connection with the service. It is recommended that the rats on the vessel be destroyed. This destruction should be effected before or after the discharge of cargo as rapidly as possible, and at all events within a maximum period of forty-eight hours, avoiding injury to the merchandise, plating, and engines. In case of vessels in ballast, this operation shall be performed, if there is occasion for it, as soon as possible and at all events before taking on cargo. ARTICLE 23. Vessels uninfected with plague shall be eInspc.tloin, granted pratique immediately, whatever be the natulrefected ships. of their bill of health. The only measures which the authority of the port of arrival may prescribe with regard to them shall be the following: 1. Medical inspection. 2. Disinfection of the soiled linen, wearing apparel, and other articles of the crew and passengers, but only in exceptional cases when the health authority has special reason to believe that they are contaminated. 3. Although not to be adopted as a general rule, the health authority may subject vessels coming from a contaminated port to an operation designed to destroy the rats on board, either before or after the discharge of the cargo. This operation should take place as soon as possible and should not in any event last more than twentyfour hours, avoiding injury to the cargo, plating, and engines, and avoiding hindrance to the movement of the passengers and crew between the vessel and the shore. In case of vessels in ballast, this operation, if there is occasion for it, should take place as soon as possible and at all events before taking on cargo. When a vessel hailing from a contaminated port has been subjected to an operation for the destruction of rats, 12607-09 —28 434 LAWS RELATING TO INSULAR AND MILITARY AFFAIRS. this operation shall not be repeated unless the vessel has stopped and moored at a wharf in a contaminated port, or unless the presence of dead or diseased rats is discovered on board. The crew and passengers may be subjected to a surveillance not to exceed five days from the date on which the vessel left the contaminated port. The landing of the crew may also be forbidden during the same time except in connection with the service. The competent authority of the port of arrival may always demand an affidavit from the ship's physician, or in default of such physician, from the captain, to the effect that there has not been a case of plague on the vessel since its departure and that no unusual mortality among the rats has been observed.

Miscellaneous provisions. ARTICLE 177. Each Government shall determine the Determining means for dismeans to be employed for disinfection and for the de-infecting, etc. struction of rats.a a The following modes of disinfection are given by way of suggestion. Old clothing, old rags, infected materials used in dressing wounds, paper, and other objects without value should be destroyed by fire. Wearing apparel, bedding, and mattresses contaminated by plague bacilli are positively disinfectedBy passing them through a disinfecting chamber using steam under pressure, or through a chamber with flowing steam at 100~ C. By exposure to vapors of formol. Objects which may, without damage, be imnersed in antiseptic solutions (bed covers, underclothes, sheets) may be disinfected by means of solutions of sublimate in the proportion of 1 per 1,000, of phenic acid in the proportion of 3 per 100, of lysol and comlmercial cresyl in the proportion of 3 per 100. of formol in the lroportion of 1 per 100 (one part of the commercial solution of formaldehyde in the proportion of 40 per 100), or by means of alcaline hypochlorites (of soda, potassium) in the proportion of I per 100, that is, one part of the usual commercial hypochlorite. It goes without saying that the time of contact should be long enough to allow dried up germs to be penetrated by the antiseptic solutions, four to six hours being sufficient. For the destruction of rats three methods are at present employed: 1. That using sulphurous acid mixed with a small quantity of sulphuric anhydride, which is forced under pressure into the holds, stirring the air up. This causes the deeath of the rats and insects, and destroys the plague bacilli at the same time when the content of sulphuro-sulphuric anhydride is sufficiently great. 2. The process by which a noncombustible mixture of carbon monoxid and carbon dioxid is sent into the holds. The process which ultilizes carbonic acid in such a way that the content of this gas in the air of the vessel is about 30 per cent. The last two procedures cause the death of the rodents, but are not claimed to kill the insects and plague bacilli. The technical committee of the Paris Sanitary Conference of 1903 suggested the following three remedies, viz, a mixture of sulphuro-sulphuric anhydride, a mixture of carbon lmolxid and 'earbonic acid, and carbonic acid, as being among those to which lhe governments might have recourse, and it was of opinion that, ill case they were not used by the health department itself, the latter ought to supervise each operation and ascertain that the rats have been destroyed. 468 LAWS RELATING TO INSULAR AND MILITARY AFFAIRS.

Each government should immediately no- Notification. lifv other governments of the first appearance in its ter'itory of authentic cases of plague, cholera or yellow fever. ARTICLE II. This notification is to be accompanied, or Additional very promptly followed, by the following additional information: (1) The neighborhood where the disease has appeared. (2) The date of its appearance, its origin, and its form. (3) The number of established cases, and the number of deaths. 584 LAWS RELATING TO INSULAR AND MILITARY AFFAIRS.

The notification and the information prescribed in Articles I and II are to be followed by further communications dispatched in a regular manner in order to keep the governments informed of the progress of the epidemic. These communications, which are to be made at least once a week, and which are to be as complete as possible, should indicate in detail the precautions taken to prevent the extension of the disease.

The notifications only have a real value if each government is warned in time of cases of plague, cholera or yellow fever and of suspicious cases of those diseases supervening in its territory.

A ship is considered as suspected on board of which there have been a case or cases of plague or cholera at the time of departure or during the voyage, but no new case within seven days; also such ships as have lain in such proximity to the infected shore as to render them liable to the access of mosquitoes. The ship is considered indemne, which, although coming from an infected port, has had neither death nor case of plague, cholera or yellow fever on board, either before departure, during the voyage, or at the time of arrival, and which in the case of yellow fever has not lain in such proximity to the shore, as to render it liable, in the opinion of the sanitary authorities, to the access of mosquitoes. fected ships.
