WASHINGTON. ID. C., January IL
Bubonic plague at Manila In to be
combated with all the means modern
science has put at the disposal OF the
medical profession. BY an executive
order quarantine matters in the Phil
ippines have been put in charge OF the
Marine Hospital Service. and Surgeon
General Wyman Is having the active
cooperation of the surgeon generals
department i'm the War Department
and Of the military and naval surgeons
in the Philippines.
Col. Charles X. Greenleaf. assistant
surgeon general, is in charge OF the
army medical force at the islands, and
Passed Assistant Surgeon Perry is at
present representing the Marine Hos
pital Service. other officers OF the SER
vice will be sent out in the near fu-
ture. and already two complete disin-
fecting plans with appliances for sui
phur fumigatiOn and steam disinfect-
ing chambers have arrived and will bs
set up by Passed Assistant Surgeon

Surgeon General Wyman believes II
will be possible TO prevent a serious
epidemic OF plague In Manila He said
he thought there was every prospect
that it would be stamped out before
II had made much progress, as had
been done in Alexandria. He saw no
reason for serious alarm.

The plague situation remains un-
changed. and the hopeful views ex-
pressed yesterday by President Wood
that conditions might change for the
better have had a setback. The death
Of the young Chinaman who was re-
moved only the night before from the
Roth premises shows how difficult it
is to prevent cases cropping up here
and there in the residence portion Of
the city.
Through the day Ng Gee became
a more and more pronounced case. and
was delirious from noon to the time
of his death. The bubo in the left fem
oral gland swelled so much that the
entire upper portion of the mans leg
above the knee was enlarged. In his
delirium the patient threw himself
from his mattress often, and numerous
bruises on his face and legs show the
violence Of his agony. The symptoms
were slight when DR.. Raymond was
first called in to see the man, and even
on Tuesday morning the Doctor
thought he had made a mistake. Again
in the afternoon, after a minute ex-
animation. DR.. Raymond became clear
ly convinced that the man had plague.
The disease made quick work.
Go Young FOOk, who died yesterday
morning, was taken from Block Is on
January 18th and has since fingered in
the Chinese pest hospital. The quar-
ter from which he came was a partic-
ularly bad one in that block. and sew

Methuen's Sisters.

So far as is known. there was no in
sanity in Methuen's family back OF the
present generation. but it is generally
understood that all three OF his sisters
have been backward from their child
hood.

from men serving i'm the Modder river
column and telling OF the dcmoraliza-
tiOn Of the troops since the command

General. who was killed. turned to us
and said: Don't blame me. lads" We
hear he demonstrated with Gen. Meth

plans. but Methuen only told him To
obey orders.

doubt. went 10 find death when such
disastrous fire opened, but he had
previously shouted in the vicinity of
the Argyll Highlander; Don't blame
me for this. received my orders. and

chope was shot a. the beginning OF the
charge.
When he saw the mistake that had
happened, he said:

Methuen also quarreled with other
officers under him, three OF whom. Col
Arthur Paget, Col. Cough and Cant
Campbell, he ordered home These
three arrived in London today.
When Col. Cough attempted IN dis
cuss the plan of the Magersfontein at

Methuen's Mind Deranged.

Those who know the circumstances
equally we'll, and who are willing 10
state the facts plainly, say Gen. Meth
uen's mind is unbalanced. Inc War
Office officials have had constant proof
Of this for two weeks past. for the
commander OF the MOdder river forces
has pestered the Government with
some Of the most remarkable mes
sages.
One received a few days ago is a fair
sample OF the rest. II contained just
these three words: Darkness after
dawn"-that's all. While the London
press is considerably suppressing the
true state OF affairs so far as Gen.
Methuens ailment is concerned, they
do not hesitate 20 print the nard facts
Of the battle OF MaEersfontein, Just
reaching London through the malls. all
Of which go 20 show that the attack
was planned by madman.
The death OF Gen. WauChOpe was
one Of the many sad results Of the en-
gagement. Gen. WauchOpe, II Is now
known, realized the futility OF the as
slult. as planned by Gen. Methuen
and argued against IL. Methuen. how
ever, persisted. and the two quarreled
over the matter on the very night be-
fore the battle which proved 90 dis
