Are Prevalent.

MANILA, April 3.-The soldiers who
have just completed the health report
give the city an unpleasantly high rank
among the unhealthful cities Of the
world. The report establishes death
rate Of something over 40 per cent at
conservative estimate.
The deaths in Manila, officially re-
ported during the six months from July
l to Dec. 81, last year, were 6,203. Of
these, 2,941 were children. Some of the
diseases were beri beri; of bronchitis
there were 314; fevers, 2S7; while stom-
ach troubles ranked high. Manila now
has three diseases epidemic which would
throw the average community into
panic-bubonic plague, beri beri and
smallpox. Beri beri results from diet
of fish and rice, so that whites do not
fear it. Smallpox and leprosy prevail
and the people look upon them as a mat
ter Of course, avoiding a direct contact,
but hardly giving a second thought to
their presence in the neighborhood.
