These are distributed among various
posts in the island, a large number be-

against the American forces in Samar,
said he regarded it as consequence
of the assassination of President Nc
Kinley. In all probability the iIsur-
gents had received. he said, only mea-

result Of some popular outbreak
against the President. The natives
had seized the opportunity in the flick

lost ground.

Ninth Regiment of United States In

they performed valiant service. Later
the troops went to Manila and were
engaged in provost duty in that city.
During the past summer battalion

His Ideas Not Contagious.

Fifty cases of smallpox in Little
Chute brought Dr. NJ. j. Rodermund
there last night in an endeavor to make
converts to his theory that cortagion
does not exist, In opposition to Lis lee
tire were the village health board and
Catholic priests, who feared that If Rod
ermund's advice were followed it would
be impossible to maintain quarantine.
Armed guards were present at the lee
ture and prevented a demonstration.
Dr. Rodermund advanced his theory
that eontagion does not exist, and gave
the following signed statement:
y brand the state board of health of
Wisconsin. together with the members
Of all city health boards, as doleful ig-
uoramuses of physical or physiological
laws, or willful deceivers of the public
for the money there is in it. | state the
above as the truth and can prove the ac-
cusation by natural and physiological
