TROOPS IN GOOD HEALTH.
The Condition Of the American Army Un-
der Gen. Otis sAssc-'.aiagis Excellsnt,
All Things Considered.

Washington, June 1.-THE state
ments to the effect that men around
Manila are dying like flies and that
the war department has been COM
PEELED to suppress the regulation health
reports, which it was formerly GUS
tomary to make public, turn out to be
false, but serve the good purpose Of
bringing out the fact that the health
conditions in the American army un-
der Gen. Otis are not only astonish-
ingly excellent, but have probably
never been equalled in any army in
tropical countries. Compared with that
OF last summer in Cuba, the compara-
tive immunity from death or serious ILL
ness of the American troops fighting
outside of Manila seems little short Of
miraculous. From the landing of Gen.
Anderson's first military expedition
near Cavite June 30, last year,
up to the last weekly report from
Gen. Otis, dated June 0, there
have been only S64 deaths from dis
ease, although his total force has been
10000 men. In the same period 80 men
have died from wounds. In view OF
the notorious insalubrity OF Manila
and its environs these figures are al
most incredible. They challenge con-
trast with the best English experience
in Egypt or in India, and they surpsss
even the excellent conditions that exist
in Cuba, where there isno fighting and
the men are not exposed to the ele'
ments, but have comfortable garrisons

wHEATON's NARROW ESCAPE.
Leading n Battalion Of Reinforce
ments Near Peres das Marinas.

Manila, June 20.-A battalion of the
Fourth infantry, which left linus,
where Gen. Wheaton is in command, yes
terday morning to reconnoiter towards
Peres das Marinas, where II was be-
lieved most of the rebels who escaped
from Paranaque and Bacoor had fed,
was attacked in the rear by apparently
friendly natives. This brought on a
sharp engagement lasting several
hours, resulting in five Americans be-
ing killed and about 25 being wounded.
The loss of the Flipinos was very
heavy. The battalion soon exhausted
its ammunition, and at $3.50 in the
afternoon Gen. Wheaton and his
staff, with the second battalion,
two mounted guns and one field
piece, went to reinforce the troops at
tackled. Gen. Wheaton was fired on in
a road and had narrow escape. Later
the third battalion was ordered TO the
front and formed on the Las Minas
road. Heavy firing on both sides fol-
lowed, the artillery being freely used.
The enemy was located in the woods
at four o'clock, showing signs Of retir'
ing, as the Filipinos were being pressed
very hard. One gun of the Sixth artil'
lery, in an advantageous position, did
great execution. The scene Of the
fighting is over 90 miles from Manila.

The slightest intlmation from Gen. Otis that
he wants more troops, in addition to those he
now has with him and those who are TO be sent

by prompt call for volunteers. There will
be no further parleying with Aguinaldo and
his followers and no let up in the agrees
sive campaign which Gen. Otis is conduct
ing. The president stands ready TO call for
as many volunteers as may be necessary to sub
due the Filipinos and there is every reason to
believe that he can secure, without delay, all
the volunteers he may call for. This is the
true situation so far as the administration is
concerned and 1t is unfair and unjust to charge
the president with want Of aggressiyeness In
