FROM LEPERS
ACTION BEING TALKED OF IN
JAPAN.
General Macarthur Will Select an Is
land of the Philippines for An AM
erican Leper Colony.

Japan will probably not be a refuge
for lepers from all over the world much
longer. In the past quite a number Of
afflicted people here who did not want
to go to Molokai have taken steamers
for Japan, where they are not looked
after. The Japan Gazette has the fol-
lowing plea for action to protect the
country:
Considering the fact that Japan now
justly lays claim to having entered the
list of civilized nations, it is quite time
that something was done, in accordance
with the latest ideas on the subject, to
deal with the prevalent and very OBJ
trusive question of our lepers. Hardly
day passes but what several of these
unfortunate beings can be seen, in all
the horrors of different stages of this
loathsome disease, squatted down in
some prominent corner, begging for
aims from the passers by in the public
streets.
1--WE are informed by reliable authori-
ties that in the native towns and in
Tokyo especially, the lepers number
several hundreds; and that, so far,
nothing has been done to either alleVi-
ate their sufferings, or to protect the
healthy from the effects of contact with
them In many parts of the world it
has been almost unanimously decided
that in order to deal with this disease
is absolutely necessary; and that no
medical treatment has yet been discov-
cred which can in any way either lessen
or stop the ravages of the disease, when
once a person has inherited or caught
it, And we therefore think it has be-
come imperative upon the authorities to
originate some scheme whereby the
present victims can be isolated and at
tended to, getting such amelioriation
as is possible under the circumstances,
and the general public, both native and
foreign protected from any further
spread of the disease, while, at the
same time, the streets will be cleared
of the very Objectionable and horrible
sights, now only too often to be seen
in the most frequented portions of our
Busy town.
I'm the Philippines even the Ameri-
can authorities have found it necessary
to do something in the matter of deal
ing with the disease. and General Mac
Arthur has just issued a general order
to the following effect: In view of the
fact that a large number of people in
these islands are afflicted with leprosy,
and have, in consequence, become a
menace to public health, and for the
purpose of initiating measures for pre-
venting the further spread of this dis
ease and eventually stamping it out Of
existence, board of officers is hereby
appointed 10 Selecl an lSldAu Ior the
segregation of lepers, to prepare plans
and estimates for suitable buildings
thereon, to submit an estimate of sala-
rieS for the necessary officials, and to
fix the ration and allowance for the
support of such leper colony. Surely,
on such an important matter our au
thorities will not again need to be re-
minded of the urgency of the case, but
will follow in the steps of the Philip
pine authorities, and do something at
once on similar lines

TONG YoNGs TROUBLES.
Enlisted in the Navy and Obtained Chi
nese Emnity.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Tong
Yong, a young Americanized Chinese
residing on Spofford alley, Joined Uncle
Sans navy last week. He secured a
position as cook, but his duties We're
misunderstood by his countrymen and
he was Immediately branded as a trait
or to his native land. 1t was thought
that he had enlisted for the purpose of
fighting against China, and for several
days a horde of highbnders followed
him about Chinatown eager for his life.
Tong applied to the police for protec-
ton and until yesterday when he left
the city, he was under the surveillance
of Sergeant Mahoney's squad.
On Monday night a large crowd gath
cred about his place and had started
to batter the door down when the police
arrived. The crowd was dispersed and
since then Tong's house on Spofford
alley has been watched. Tong escaped
the wrath of his pursuers by departing
for Vallejo yesterday.
The police fear that the trouble which
started between the Ping Kong Tong
and the Ong Vicks i'm Sacramento about
three weeks ago will be transferred to
this city. All FoOk, who resides on
Waverly place went to the capital to
adjust the difficulty last week, but re-
turned Tuesday and reported matters
in much worse condition than when
he arrived there.

ONLY AMERICA HAS MONEY

WASHINGTON, Puly 17.-While a
lack of sufficient troops to make up an
effective army in China, without draw
ing too strongly on the forces in the
Philippines and in Cuba, is the principal
difficulty with which the United States
is confronted, other powers engaged in
the pacification of China will encounter
financial difficulties if the campaign is
greatly prolonged. A high official of the
administration, discussing this phase of
the question to-day, said:
The fact cannot be denied that the
allied powers are totally unprepared in
available well equipped forces and in
well provided budgets for a conflict of
the magnitude threatened. The war in
South Africa has drained England of
her soldiers, and the English and native
troops in India are needed for the
maintenance of order and the protection
of northern borders from incursions.
Russian finances are taxed to their ut
most to meet the vast OUTLAWS for the
construction of the Siberian Railroad
and Russia'S forces may be required to
protect her interests in Manchuria to
such an extent as to be of little value
in the main occupation. The German
and French governments are not pre-
pared for an expensive foreign war
There is no trouble in providing men
the difficulty will be to get them to the
theater of war on the other side of the
globe, and to maintain them after they
get there.
THE reliance upon Japan to bear the
brunt of the war, being nearest the
scene of action, does not promise as
much in reality as it does on paper.
The finances of the empire are in a bad
condition"
