The secretary of the State board of
health says that there has been marked
decrease in Maine this year, over last, in
the prevalence of contagious diseases.
He says there has been a steady decline of
diphtheria in the State compared with the
other New England States for some years.
In 1897 there was an increase, but that
was owing to the epidemic at Fort Kent,
and since then there has been a steady
decline. This is due in measure to the
improved sanitary condition OF the State.
He adds that while the climatic conditions
are about the same throughout the entire
State, there has been marked improve
ment in the minds of the people regard
ing sanitary conditions.

MANILA, November 81 a. NJ
The following dispatches have been re-
ceived here from the correspondents of
the Associated Press accompanying the
American advance northward:
CORONA, November 19.-Gen. Mac
Arthur entered Corona, as already ca
bled, this afternoon. The insurgents
had fed last Monday, after burning the
depot. Nothing else was destroyed by
them. Corona is the first town along
the Manila-Dagupan railway line where
the natives did not run at the approach
of the Americans. The padres offered
quarters in the church and convent.
The town has one good house. Corona
is the seat OF heavy
ENGLISH SUGAR INTERESTS.
The trip here was a hard one and
occupied six hours in covering seven
miles and half, most Of the time being
spent in fording quarter of mile
of flood running out of the Rio Tarlac.
We have no wagons, and pack mules
and native bearers carry all our sup
plies.
The natives here say that Bayombong
was occupied last Sunday by mounted
troops, probably Gen. Young's brigade
of Gen. Lawton's division. The people
here are of better class than we have
usually found and they welcomed the
Americans, as they evidently realized
that their agricultural interests will re-
vive.
Gen. Macarthur said this evening:
eve seem to be entering a
DIFFERENT POLITICAL ATMOS-
Pierre.
The people here seem to be less at
tached to Aguinaldo's cause than those
in many towns we have entered on the
railroad line"
The command will move northward at
daybreak tomorrow, toward Bayom-
bong. Corona will be garfisoned with
two companies of the Thirty-sixth.
Immediately on entering Corona,
Slaven's scouts moved up the track to-
wards Panique On the way they en-
countered an entrenched party of insur-
gents whom they drove back, then en-
tering the town and capturing four loco
motives and thirteen cars, as already
cabled. They learned that five hundred
insurgents had left the town in the
course of the afternoon.

''At this critical time in the affairs
Of the Democratic party, it seems the
wishes of the leaders of the east should
be consulted; and they favor my selec-
ton, not on account of myself, or my
personality, but because they believe
it will be good party politics, and will
strengthen our forces in the pivotal

This mornings news gives little that
alters the complexion Of the situation.
Since the fight of November 9Th, mat
tiers, so far as is known, have been
fairly quiet at Ladysmith 1t is not
unlikely that the Beers, badly informed
as to the nature and extent of the Brit

lief of the town, may be hesitating re-
garding the next move. The situation
in Natal is very complicated, more
especially if the reports be true that
the great Tugela bridge has been de-
stroyed
The success Of the next move on
either side will depend more on strategy
than on superior numbers. The Beers
have three lines of action open. They
can hold the railway with the force they
have at Ennersdale, falling slowly back
before the British advance and threat
ening 1t from Wennan, or in the second
place, they can advance from Wennan
and try TO carry Es'tcourt; or, in the
third place, they can advance due south

store.

commanding our northern outposts re-
ported that the enemy's mounted pa
trolls were advancing across the whole
country from Gourton Road to Ulandi,
moving on Estcourt. My force stood
to arms. The outposts reported various

vancing on Estcourt from a north
westerly direction. One party, 500
strong, moved toward the railroad
bridge, half a mile northwest of Est
court.
"'Our outposts fired on the enemy,
and one of the naval guns fired shell
at 5000 yards range, the shell bursting
close to the enemy, who then hurriedly
retired.
At IL o'clock reports were received
from three pickets that a large number
of Beers were in sight on hill above
Leslie's Homestead. The troops have
returned to camp"
