TEPROSY IN PHiLIPPINES.
Thirty Thousand Estimated to be i'm the
Archipelago.

Washington, Dec. 26.-An appended
report to General MacArthur's review
Of the civil affairs of the Philippines for
the past fiscal year gives some rather
startling facts regarding the introduc-
tion and prevalence of leprosy in the
islands According to the estimates of
the Franciscan fathers says Major Guy
l.. Edie, the writer of the report, there
are no less than 10000 lepers in the
archipelago, the major portion of these
being in the Visayas.
Leprosy was introduced in 1888 when
the emperor of Japan sent ship with
150 lepers on board to the Philippines
as a present to be cared for by the
Catholic priests. Thus the seed was
planted, and as no practical methods
ever were adopted to eradicate the dis
ease or prevent it's spread, it has taken
firm root. A house to house inspection,
begun last January, found more tnan
hundred lepers concealed in dwellings.
These We're sent 20 San Lazaro hos
pital in Manila, but many others es-
capped into the surrounding country. A
commission is now engaged in the work
of selecting suitable island or islands
for the purpose of isolating all the lep-
ers in the archipelago.
