THE LEPERs OF HAWAII.
There Arc Over Nine Hundred OF
Them In Hospitals.


WASHINGTON, d. c.. October 16.-
There are now 900 lepers and 164 clean
persons at the Molokai leper settle
ments in Hawaii according to report
Just received from Chief Quarantine
Officer Cofer. in charge of the marine
hospital work in Hawaii. All these are
housed. fed, clothed and governed for
$4,000 a year The report praises the
hopeful and cheerful way in which
these poor people resign themselves TO
their fate, and points out that such con-
tentment can thrive only on a comfort
able mode of life and good treatment.
Surgeon Cofer reports he made care
full inquiries as to the chances of the
infection of the clean people working
among the lepers and that the general
opinion was that in time they would
become lepers. In the last ten years,
however, only ten clean residents have
become lepers. The board of health
has initiated new system for pre-
venting the lepers and their relatives
and friends from embracing and kiss
ing each other by marching the visi-
tors Immediately from the steamer
landing to a corral with double fence.
The friends are compelled to remain
inside this Enclosure and the lepers
gather around and talk through the
bars. Visitors are permitted at any
time under this system, instead of only
once a year, as formerly. The results
of known exposure to leprosy, says the
report, show an uncertainty as the
chances of individual infection which
make the disease one of the most diff
cult TO operate against. Women are
said to be less liable to II than men.
The three oldest patients at the settle
ment arrived in 1874, 1875 and 1879,
respectively The number of commit
ments to the settlements each year dur
ing the last decade, ranging from 1872,
in 1891, to 50, in 1900, show a gradual
decrease, despite the fact that the hunt
for lepers throughout the islands never
before has been so vigorous.

those who were nearest Commodore

in their testimony before the court of
inquiry are the most effective in knock
ing the last vestige of support from un-
der the conspiracy against the hero of
that fight.
That this conspiracy was bureau
cratic, conceived in the department at
Washington, and that Admiral Sampson
had no share in its conception. is evil
dent. 1t is also evident that Sampson
as much as Sehey, or more, has been
the victim of this outrageous plot,
which, under some circumstances, might
easily have resulted in the defeat OF
the American arms or az least the
escape from Santiago of the Spanish
squadron.
The testimony shows that Sampson
was more at fault than Schley-if there
was any real fault at Santiago-and
that the mistakes banned on Schley
were largely the fault of SIMPSONS

Independent of political significance.
as the Republic of that city puts it, it
is a good and wholesome thing that
successive generations of Americans
should appropriately cherish the mem
ory of the eminent Americans who
have contributed to their country's
greatness and glory. In the case OF
American Presidents. for instance
there is no one of them who has not
plainly set his distinctive mark on GER

form of achievements for which he
may be honored by the whole people,
