Sir: / have the honor to acknowl-
edge your note of the 9th December
last informing me of the outbreak of
bubonic plague in Honolulu.
| regret 10 notify you that plague has
now made its appear ance in Manila.
We have no official communications on
the subject, but relable sources state
that batch of thirteen cases were sud
denly discovered in one centre and it
is known that six of these were dead or
dying when discovered. DR.. ]. c.. Per-
~ Of the U. S. NJ. H. S. who was sent
out officially to this port, was ordered
down to Manila by cable to investigate
this and to establish some sort of quar-
antine or inspection station at that
port: he sailed about three weeks ago
and his duties are now performed by
me.
The outlook regarding plagre in
Hongkong fear is not very promising
A few sporadic cases began to recur
early in December last and keep con
tinually reapre9ring, although ths
numbers are not large as yet. Still il
shows that the disease is amongst lis
End only too ready to assume epidemic
proportions under favorable cond tions
The figures are, three cases and three
deaths for the past two weeks.

ALL FOREIGN PESTS
TO Be INTERDICTED.
The Mongoose in Cuba, Porto Rico
and Santa Cruz-Other I'm
portation Mistakes.

According TO the exchanges from tht
mainland, other sections OF Uncle
Sans possessions are suffering from
the mongoose and other pests brough;
there in the mistaken notion that theI
would destroy rats. mice, gophers and
other local destructive animals and in
sects. Everywhere the people have has
the same experience that Hawaii has
had with the mongoose. The pest
destroyers have found better food
than afforded by the pests upon which
they were supposed to prey, and have
really become a greater pest than thoSt
they were TO exterminate. On this sub
ject the San Francisco Examiner says:
Large numbers of the mongoose
have been sent from Jamaica TO Cuba
Porto Rico, and Santa Cruz In 1892
an effort was made 10 introduce the
mongoose into this country 10 destroy
the gophers in the West. Ii was de-
feated. but the danger of their getting
In from Porto Rico, Cuba or Hawaii is
very serious menace.
The danger of introducing certain
Old World mammals and birds is
tACANANi Vi
portanee. Last year much interest was
manifested in the Northwest in the so
called kohlmeise, or great titmouse Of
Europe. HorticulturiSts in Idaho adj
yocated the introduction OF this bird
on the ground that it was valuable in
Germany as destroyer of the eodliug
moth. and hence 1t would be a desirable
addition TO the bird fauna of the United
States. Investigation fails to disclose
any useful part the titmouse could
play.
There seems to be no satisfactory
evidence that il is partial TO the cod
ling moth or, in fact, that il ever feeds
on the moth TO any great extent. On
the other hand, IL is said to attack
small and weakly birds. splitting open
their skull with its beak TO get at the
brain, and doing more or less damage
TO fruit. particularly pears. Like other
species OF the genus, the kohlmeise is
mainly insectiyorous, but in winter il
eats nuts and hard seeds. While il
might not develop its fruit-eating pro-
pensities in America. il is almost GER
tain TO do serious harm.
BY rare good fortune we have thus
far prevented the importation OF the
flying fox, better known as the fruit
eating bat of Australia. But this can
not be relied on indefinitely. We need
laws at once to keep il out. The fly
Ing fox belongs TO the best known
group OF frrit-eating bats. They live
in immense camps in inaccessible To-
calities. and are wonderfully destrue-
tive OF fruit.
In August. 1895. the steamer Mono
wal. from Australia. arrived in Saa
Francisco. having on board = flying
fox. II was promptly killed by the
quarantine osflcer. Two months later
four moro arrived in captivity from
China. They were likewise killed.
There is constant danger OF these
pests being introduced unless Congress
gives authority 10 deal with the ques-
Ion"
