Smallpox Cases Among the Soldiers at
Manila,

Manila.
Washington. Jan. 25.-Inuuiry made at
the war department into the reports of
the rapid increase in the number of small
poX among the American soldiers in
Manila elicfts the assurance that the sick
reports sent about twice a week by Cen
eral Otis exhibit the full extent of the
dread disease so far as the officials them
selves know. The mortality rate is not e:s-
cessive, but of course, it is not denied
that the soldiers would be safer at home
tnan they are at present in Manila, suffer-
ing from inconsistencies which always
follows protracted waiting without action.
A most interesting report has reached
the government through two young naval
officers. one of them Paymaster Wilcox,
who made a trip afoot and in boats clear
across the greatest length of the island
of luZon. They found the obstacles of
passage almost beyond belief. They have
a good deal to say incidentally in their re-
port upon the political situation, and as
scrt that the Spanish, before retiring from
the interior, managed thoroughly to
poison the minds of the natives against
the Americans by representing them to
be slave masters and monsters of destruc-
ton toward all alien races. that it will be
only with the greatest difficulty that con-
iidence in our good intentions can be i'm
planted.
