ALL IN GOOD HEALTH.
Condition of Soldiers In Philippines
Is Remarkable

New York, June 16.-The statements
| to the effect that men around Manila
are dying like flies and that the war
department has been compelled to sup
press the regulation health reports.
which it was formerly customary to
make public, turn out to be gratuitous-
ly false. but serve the good purpose of
bringing out the fact that the health
/ conditions in the American army I'M
der General Otis are not only astoniSh-
inSly excellent, but have probably
never been equaled in any army in
tropical countries, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune. Com
pared with that of last summer in
Cuba, the comparative immunity from
death or serious illness of the Ameri-
can troops fighting outside of Manila
seems little short of miraculous. From
the landing of General Anderson's first
military expedition near Cavite on June
so last year up to the last weekly re-
port from General Otis. dated June g.
there have been only 364 deaths from
disease. although his total force has
been 10000 men. In the same period
siXty-nine men have died from wounds.
In view of the notorious insalubrity
of Manila and its environs, these fig
ureS are almost incredible. They chal-
lenge contrast with the best English
experience IN Egypt or in India, and
lntS SuIpdSS even. the SAcellenI COnul-
tons that exist in Cuba, where there
is no fighting and the men are not eX-
posed to the elements. but have COM
Portable garrisons. Men drowned or
who have died from injuries received
otherwise than in battle are counted in
the total of 364.
This total is interesting, compared
with that of the men laid outright in
action with the Filipinos from Feb. 4
to June 6. covering the period of active
hostilities. In those four months, with
an average of 1000 men engaged, the
killed were 226. This great disparity
demonstrates what improvement has
resulted from the experience of the
Santiago campaign, when 1000 men
died from disease and only $50 were
killed. In fact, the health question
in the Philippines has apparently lost
its novelty, and no question having !
been raised about it from this side of I
the ocean, no recent cable reports from |
General Otis contain any allusion to it. |

PRAISE FOR HIS MEN.
General Kings Report to War De-
partment Made Public.

Washington, June 16.-The report of
Brigadier General Charles King, COM
handing the First brigade, First divi-
sion, during the early fighting at Man
lila, has been made public at the war
department. This brigade, composed of
the First California, First Washington
and First Idaho, saw some very hard
fighting. 1t was while executing an
order of General King that Major Nc
Conville fell, leading his men of the
Idaho regiment. General King calls
attention to the fact that the losses of
his brigade were greater than of any
other brigade in the corps. He also says
re damage inflicted on the enemy was
very great, his men having buried 153
of the Filipinos. He adds:
4 beg leave to call attention to the
fact that this is the only exclusively
volunteer brigade in the corps, and that
it fought with all the steadiness, dash
and discipline of their comrades, the
regulars.

Manila, June ia Spanish officer

AguinaIdo, has come through our lines
to Manila. He claims to have been a
witness OF the assassination of General

lations between the two Filipino lead
ers had been strained to the breaking
point because of Luna's attempts to
assume control of affairs and The final
rupture was forced by Acuinaido iSsu-

concern him. Luna, on opening the re-
ply at his headquarters, in the presence
of his officers, exclaimed hotly: He

One officer, who was friendly to Ag-
uinaldo, FASTENED TO warn him, and Ag-
uinaldo called together twenty trusted
soldiers, fellow tOwnsmen of his, and
stationed them around his house with
instructions to kill any one attempting

Luna appeared the next day and saw
Aguinaido at the window. a member
of the guard said: "Aguinaldo has gone
to inspect the troops"
Luna exclaimed: You are a liar,

and tried to force an entrance into the
house. Before he could use his revolver
one of the guards bayonetted him and
shot him in the back and others stab
