HEALTH CONDITIONS BETTER
Only One Death Reported Among
10000 Soldiers In over
Week.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The following
has been received at the War department:
MANILA, Nov. lo.-Adjutant General,
Washington: Following deaths since last re-
port: November II, Jay A. Smith, private.
Company G. First regiment. S1uth Dakota,
epoplexy following malarial fever OTIS.
The War department officials say that the
report showing such a small death rate
among so many soldiers is extremely grati-
flying and indicates an improved condi-
tion at Manila. That only one death should
occur In 10000 soldiers In a week or ten
days is very surprising. The department be-
lieves there has been great Improvement
in the health conditions In the Philippines.

over the unbroken monotony of the dead
