THE PLAGUE IN MANILA.
Three Supposed Cases Marine Hos
pital service to Take Charge.

Manila, January g., $50 p. m.-The
all symptoms of bubonic plague, in a
house in the walled city, where two
suspicious deaths have occurred The
patient has been isolated and every
p~recaution has been taken to prevent
a spread of the disease.
Washington, January THE war
department is taking steps to prevent
the introduction of the plague in the
Philippines, and Secretary o this
morning called into consultation Sur
geon Genera Wyman, of the marine
hospital service, to discuss the estab-
lishment of a quarantine system for the
islands. 1t was decided that the war
department should adopt towards the
Philippines a policy like that it pursued
towards Cuba in the matter of h pro-
lection of health: Namely, confide
the maintenance of a quarantine SyS-
tenn to the marine hospital service.
Surgeon Genera Wyman has no con-
firmatiOn of the report hat three sus-
pected cases of bubonic plague nave
been discovered within the walled city
of Manila, but no attempt is made to
conceal the gravity of the situation
should the report prove true. Still, it
is said, a few sporadic cases need not
necessarily result in an epidemic in the
islands.
Surgeon General Wyman says the dis
ease no longer creates the dread it one
did, because it has been demonstrated
THAT it can be handled by modern sci
entific work 1t has been stamped out
of Alexandria, Egypt; Kobe, Japan and
Vienna, Austria. The methods Of fight
ing it are the same used against small
pox-isO1ation, disinfection and SANTA
ton. The greatest danger is due to it's
possible introduction into new locali-
ties through ambulant, or walking,
cases which defy the surveillance of the
authorities. One feature of the disease,
which is gratifying to the authorities
in view of the possible outbreak of an
epidemic in the Philippines, is the fact
that its history shows that it does not
attack Europeans as readily as natives.
