A CONSUL'S SAY
Official at Manila Writes
of the Local Climate.
Conditions Pictured-Peop VIII be
Healthy If They Live ProperIy-
Temperature Water.

Mr. o. F. Williams, United States
Consul, writes from Manila, Philip
pine Islands, as follows to the State
Department regarding the health con-
ditions of that city:
Il wish to refute the statements
generally circulated in regard to the
health and climate of the Philippine
Islands Being within the tropics
they, of course, lack the invigorating
effects of frost, and the temperature
averages high-at Manila, about 1873
degrees Fahrenheit; but extremes are
not wide apart, and during tie last
year / heard of no temperature: below
81 degrees Fahrenheit in the islands
and none below the sixties in Manila
Mercury in the shade rarely rises
above 50 degrees nor above % degrees
in the sun.
Being on the coast of a bay so
large as to be almost an inland sea,
and having eight miles to the east a
lake. with 100 miles of shore, whose
waters seek Une Day through the large
and rapid Pasig. the city of Manila
has fresh air constantly, as we'll as
sea breeZes.
THE sewers of Manila are not good,
and never can be first class, because
of it's low level; but the rainfall here
is above ten feet per annum and quite
evenly distributed, so that the streets
are rain swept almost every day
There is also an advantage in hot, wet
weather, which hastens the decay of
vegetable or animal matter, this soon
rotting and being washed away.
THE city water supply is abundant
The water is carried in large iron
pipes about seven miles from springs,
and is exceptionally pure and agreea-

The commune of MeIano having es-

of spring and summer the emancipa-

deputies of the male sex, each member
of the parish council may be repre-

In consequence of this measure the
