The subject Of diseases In the schools
and the manner and method best
adapted to an eifectual suppression of
the danger to the public health that
emanates from this source Is one OF
the most important and interesting
problems with which the cities and
communities have to deal. Important
and interesting from the sole fnct that
every person living in a city or COM
munity Is directly benefited by every
measure that contributes to lesseninR
disease In the schools. 1t has been esti-
mated by an authority on the subject
that 20 per cent. Of the epIdemics OF
contagious diseases might he prevented
simply by proper inspection OF the
schools. Some idea of the value Of

example. In New York there are $50
medical examiners who visit the
schools daily. and they have excluded
from attendance per cent. OF the en-
rolled pupils for no other cause except
that they were III with contagious dis

THE AMERICANS SUFFER LOSSES
nubonic Plague and Smallpox Among

and BeacOn in 1.uxOn.

Manila. Feb. l3.-Of late the in.
surgents in Albay province, Luzon,
have adopted harassing tactics against
the towns which the Americans nave
garrisoned They camp in the hills and
maintain q constant fire upon the
American outposts. When the troops
sally against them, they scatter, re-
turning when the Americans retire.
They shoot burning arrows, and have
thus burned large part of the town Of
Albay. Indeed, most OF the towns in
that province are practically deserted,
except by the garrison. Scarcely any
of the inhabitants return to their
homes. They are camping in the inter-
ior. and it is supposed armed insurgents
prevent them going back. 1t is report
ed that there is much suffering among
them, owing to lack OF food. AS re-
suit OF these conditions, the hemp bust
ness in that section is seriously him
dered, and ships going for cargoes are
compelled to take gangs OF coolies to
do their loading. Hemp held in the
interior is quite inaccessible.
Colonel Bell will take two regiments
and battery through the provinces of
North Camarines and South Camarines,
going there on transports. Many in.
sursents retreated to that part Of the
island from Cavite and Batangas prov
inces. Another expedition will soon
tsrat to garri son towns along the north
coast of the island OF Mindanao.
Guerrilla warfare continues south OF
Manila Two attempts have been
made to ambush the Americans. Col
oneI Schwan, while returning to Manila
with his staff and an escort OF 100 cav

the insurgents. The latter were dis.
persed, but the Americans had five
wounded.
Lieutenant. Colonel Beacon, with six
companies OF the Forty second infantry,
had two hours fight with General
Pho del Pillars command. which at
tempted to ambush the Americans
along the trail through Morong prov.
ince, near the lake. Here, also, the
insurgents were dispersed, but the
Americans had several wounded,
among them captain.
General Bell is operating southwark
through Zambales province with Il
small force.
Another expedition is proceeding
northward from Subig. 1t is reported
that the insurgents general, Alexandra.
has recovered from his wound and has
assembled a large force in that district.
The plague continues Eight cases
were reported last week among the
natives and Chinese. There is no ex.
element, however, and business and
social life are undisturbed.
Smallpox is prevalent among the
natives along the railroad and in the
towns on the northern coast. Two
officers of the Thirty-sixth infantry
have died OF the disease and another
officer and several soldiers have been

From Mayo. va, Japan, comes news
81 another terrible accident. hre
broke out January 20, in large spit

prefecture. Two buildings were de-
stroyed and 81 factory girls burned to
death. Six were injured badly and
number slightly injured.
The Fleur de Lutus, as the junk he
ing sent from Hong Kong to the Paris
exposition is called, has started on her
adventurous trip from the China sea to
the French capital. The junk. which
is one of the common Chinese Kind, Is
~ feet long and % feet wide. She
will stop on the route at Saigon. Singa-
pore, Colombo and Alden. The junk
will be lowed through the Suez canal.
Captain Bourdonnet, who is in charge
of her, is accompanied by his wife, one
French sailor, nine annimatos and nlne
Chinese.
A great conhagration occurred at
Kiuang, December 80. In all 300

after the manner OF the famous Siamese
twins. The infants were placed on ex-
hibition Immediately after their birth
and it is intended to send them to the
Paris exhibition. The French paper at
Saigon protested against this treat
ment of the newly born infants on the
ground OF inhumanity. An injunction
was applied for, but was refused by
the courts.
According to dispatch received
from Ngankiny, the provincial capital
of Anhui, and translated by the North
China Daily News, it seems that. EN-
couraged by the successes OF the ma.
rauding band in Shantung, II number OF
rowdies OF the former province have
lately banded themselves into society
called the Siao Tao Hui, or Little
Swords Association, having the same
objects in view as their predecessor,
the Tai Tao Hui, or Great Swords As
ISOLATION, that OF plundering converts
and men of wealth. The new associa-
ton, it appears, commenced its work
OH the Yank Tee river. and raided
wealthy family of the name of WI, u
few miles north OF Wuhu, carrying
away large quantity of spoils and
wounding several persons. The next
step of the bandits was to plan raid
on number OF Christian families liv-
ing near Wuhu, where there is an
American mission chapel in the charge
OF a missionary, but the inhabitants
became alarmed and summoned SOL
diers, which scared away the maraud-
ers, all of whom boldly declared that
they belonged to the Little Swords,
whose mission was to exterminate con.
verts to outside religions and mis-
sionaries.
