RWANDA . . . BUBONIC PLAGUE ADDS TO HORROR

The tide of Rwandan refugees in and outside of the country has risen to 4 million, and U.N. officials are reporting some cases of bubonic plague in addition to the epidemic of cholera. President Clinton, who has drawn criticism from relief officials for not acting quickly enough on the Rwandan crisis, will put up an additional $41.4 million for humanitarian aid there, raising the U.S. contribution to almost $200 million. He also said he would spearhead an international program to stem the cholera epidemic.
