Memorandum concerning 1364 Calle Sande:
Within 72 hours (April 25-27) five fatal cases of plague, all in Filipinos, occurred in Manila. The five deceased persons lived at 334 C. P. Rada (Meisic), 1419, interior, C. Dagupan, 1364 C. Sande (Tondo), 642 C. Ylala (Meisic), and 1492, interior, C. Dagupan (Tondo).
The following relationships were established by inquiry and investigation and the circumstances point strongly to a common source of infection and to a single geographic focus of plague infection in connection with all of the cases, viz.: at 1364 C. Sande (Tondo).
José Raymundo, boy, aged fifteen, lived at 334 C. P. Rada and worked daily until taken sick on Tuesday, April 22, at 1364 Sande, in the shop of Simplicio Enriques, a silversmith, who lived part of the time at the same address.
José Raymundo died of bubonic plague at San Lazaro Hospital on Friday, April 25, 1913.
