General Summary of the outlook In
AlIthc states.

Washington, May 30.-Following is
the substance of the summary of crop
conditions for the last week furnished
by the weather bureau:
With general absence of rain, or
only light showers in the Dakotas and
Minnesota. the previously existing
drouth conditions in these states have
become more serious. Rain Is also
needed over large part of the lake re-
gion. Ohio valley and portions of the
middle Atlantic and central gulf states
The temperature conditions in the dis
tricts east of the Rock mountains have
been generally favorable
The report continues:
The general condition of corn in the
principal corn states is rather better
than in the previous week. atho it is
somewhat backward in Missouri Kan
lsas and Arkansas. In Texas the condi-
stt:.sii off the crop is irregular and below
the average.
Winter wheat is ripening as far
north as North Carolina. Tennessee,
Arkansas and Oklahoma. and harvest
ing has begun in the southern portions
of the gulf states. In Indiana. Ohio,
Michigan and Wisconsin, where the
crop is poor. there has been no mate
rial change in its condition.
The northern and western portions
of the spring wheat region have expe-
rienced unfavorable conditions. the ABB
normally high temperatures with gen
ieral absence of rain proving dctriment-
al to spring wheat. over southeastern
portions the crop has made satisfactory
progress.
"Oat harvest is in general progress in
the southern states and is yielding Well.
In the middle Atlantic states. Ohio val-
ley and Tennessee the crop has suffered
much from drought. From the upper
Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys
more favorable reports are received.
"A good crop OF hay is promised in
Nebraska and Kansas, and the outlook
lin Missouri ard portions of Illinois, IN
diana and Michigan is improved; but,
on the whole, the hay crop promises to
be short.
.while cotton continues backward
there has been quite a general improve
ment in its condition especially over
the eastern and western portions.
The bulk of the tobacco crop has
been planted in North Carolina and
considera BILE has been planted in Ken
lucky. Planning continues in the Ohio
valley and middle Atlantic states.
The reports respecting fruits are
generally encouraging

likely to prove the cause of much spec I

OVER TWO HUNDRED CASES IN
MANILA ALONE.
About 100 Deaths in Two Months, and
Still People Not Seriously Alarmed
other Epidemics,

MANILA, April 1.-The census of Ma
Mia, just completed by the Health De-
partment gives her an unpleasantfy
high rank among the unhealthful cities
of the world. 1t establishes a death rate
OF something over 40 per thousand at a
conservative estimate, and probably
nearer so than 40.
Manila now has three diseases cpl
demic which would throw the average
community into a paniC-bubonic
plague, beri-beri and smallpox. Beri-
beri results from a diet of fish and rice,
so that whites do not fear 1t. Smallpox
and leprosy the Philippines always
have, and the people look upon them as
matter of course, avoiding direct con-
tact, but hardly giving a second thought
to their presence in the neighbour
Smallpox fourishes in some parts of
Luzon constantly. Half of the natives
in the country districts are pitted with
it, and mothers try to get their children
infected with it under the belief that
it is less dangerous to the young. The
towns along the northern coast and on
the railroad between Manila and Dag
upan are full of smallpox now. Cen
eral Bells famous volunteer regiment,
the Thirty sixth, is suffering from an
epidemic. Lieutenant Toncray and
Lieutenant Wing, both of whom were
Tennesseans, the former holding a
volunteers, and several others have
died, and there are other cases in the
regiment.
Bubonic plague is a visitor to which
distance lends terror. Two months ago
the first case was discovered in Mania.
Since that time there have been 200
cases, according to the estimates of the
health officers, and at least eighty per
cent Of them have resulted fatally. Yet
hGnn "a
have fed from the city, or has the usual
routine of life in the city been disturb
ed. The home papers find more interest
in the subject than do those published
here, while such hysterical dread as
the papers report Prevailing in Homo
lulu seems amusing. No one was par
ticularly surprised by the announce
ment that the disease had arrived, for
with it raging throughout the Orient,
and no special quarantine precautions
being taken against the ships from In
fected ports it was not to be expected
that Manila would escape. No one was
particularly alarmed either, because
Manila has become too familiar with
greater dangers during the past year
to let any side issue like plague make
much difference. Already it has ceased
to be a cause of alarm or even a topic
of conversation.
The officials have hopes that when the
rainy season gets fairly under way with
few siX-inch showers it will WASH up
the town so thoroughly that plague will
be impossible. Already the number OF
cases reported weekly is decreasing. In
view of the fact that Manila's popula-
ton is so jumbled together, with slums
in every section, that few of the Am
erican officials understand the language
of the people they are working with,
and that many of the native inspectors
regard their positions chiefly as oppor-
tunities for making money by black
mall the results accomplished have
been very remarkable
