LONDON, April 23.-The Loureezo
Marques correspondent of The Times
under Saturdays date, says:
Information received from respons-
ible sources shows that at one time the
two republics had 10000 men in the
field, including the colonial rebels. Ac-
cording to the same informant they can
still muster $4,000, of whom $4,000 are
in the Free State, 10000 are in the Big
garsberg district and $1,000 in the dis
tricts of Fourteen Streams and Klerks

MANILA, April 23.-Last week has
been one of the bloodiest of the war

official, show a total of 37S Filippinos

said that as the Philippines entirely lack

Hilo's Pla gIe Case.

There is no absolutely definite report
concerning Mrs. Serrao's case, and
never will be. It seems that the mi
crobes, of whatever genus or species
they were, pined away, died and be-
came more or less dissolute while thev
awaited the leisurely process of send
ing steamer to Honolulu. Upon Their
arrival there, their own mother
wouldn't have known them, and DR..
Hoffmann and the other experts were
in still worse fix.
Dr. Grace, who returned to HiIo nv
the kaiulani, when asked respecting
the matter, gave practically this re-
port. He said too long a time had
elapsed after the removal OF the mat
Ter containing the microbes from the
Dody, and that no absolute report could
De given. He added, however, that nm
der the microscope bacilli were dis
covered which even in their nassee
state very closely resembled the plague
mlcroDe, and on the whole the signs of
prague were much stronger than in
several cases he had seen in Honolulu
winch were classed as plague there.
80 1t would seem on the whole as If
the authorities had rot made very
mucn OF mistake when they burned
the Serrao buildings. By the way. the
statements of medical me to the effect
that plague is comparatively seldom
transmitted by personal contact would
seem to be borne out by the fact that
none Of the Serrao family, nor of those
who attended Mrs. Serrao, have been
injected. It's rats!-that's what It is.
Rats are no good, anyhow.

Not So Bad.

Referring to the rumors that the peo-
pie of the Aztec would report anfavor-
ably to Washington, relative to the
facilities in Hilo for handling stock and
the delay caused by this and other mat
ters, the Captain of the Port Albert re-
marked that he had been able to trans
fer over five hundred animals in eleven
hours, and he doubted whether a bet
ter days work could be shown any
where. The matter of water supply had
caused some delay, owing to the use
of the lighters for sugar during so
much of the time, but otherwise he was
perfectly satisfied with Hilo as a half
way house on the voyage to the Orient
