"GREENLEAF."


The first effect will probably be to have
quarantine laid upon the most rigid SAM
tary lines and this work will be UNI
dertaken by Col Greenleaf, pending the
arrival at Manila of the marine hospital
service officers now on the way. Gen.
Sternberg says that Col. Greenleaf Is ex-
ceptionally well fitted to cope with the
present emergency and he has no doubt
that the disease will soon be stamped out.
1t II noted that the cases Of plague re-
ported are confined to the native class, and
1t Is said that has been the case in most
of the cities of Asia where the disease has
appeared.
1t is notably true Of Hongkong, where
1t has existed for many months without
causing considerable fatality. among the
European population. 1t was probably
from Hongkong that the disease found It's
way to Manila. The medical officers have
been all along on the watch to prevent
this. but, owing to the closeness of Hong
kong to Manila and the large amount of
traffic carried on by native junks and
dhows, the ultimate Introduction Of the
disease into Manila was inevitable.
