PHILIPPINE HOSPITALS.
SternberS Says the Service In the
Islands Is Excellent.

SternberS Says the Service In the
Islands Is Excellent.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. AIN speaking
of conditions in the Philippines, Gener-
al George NJ. Sternberg, surgeon gener-
al of the United, States, who has re.
turned from the islands, said:
Il was surprised at the excellence of
the hospital service and the arrange.
ments for caring for the sick and
wounded. We have a department. in
the islands that we should be proud of.
The percentage of mortality remains
the same as in the early campaign,
namely about per cent.
Taking into consideration what we
have to contend with over there, and
comparing it with the records of the
civil war, it will be seen that we have
made great improvements in our mill
tary hospitals. The new convalescent
hospital at Santa Mesa, built of nipa, is
almost perfect.
"Ths men are subject to malaria, ty.
phoid and dysentery for the most part.
The latter is the worst. A little bubonic
plague exists among the natives and
Chinese, but it Ia not enough to occa-
sion alarm or drive people into hyster-
les. am pleased with what saw and
am we'll satisfied"
General John W. Weston, commits
sary general, who accompanied General
Sternberg, reports that as a result of his
trip to Manila, his department has bee
centralized and decreased in Dumber OF
employees in consequence of the decrease
of the army in the island to one-haIf of
its former strength. The commissary
department is now in the hands of 10
regular officers. One of the effects of
the reduction of the army was to pile up
great quantity Of supplies, but nothing
will be wasted

Badly Crippled on Account OF Revo.
lutionary Movements.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The state de.
partment has received, under date OF
Aug. II, long report from one of its
representatives in Colombia, which
brings out the crippled commercial sit
uation in that country, resulting from
revolutionary movements within and
without. The report says:
''The commercial situation here is
more depressed and more difficult for
all kinds of legitimate transactions than
it has been since the beginning of the
civil war, now in progress. From the
gathering of the crops to the shipping
thereof great difficulties, in many cases
insurmountable, are encountered. The
majority of the coffee crop has remained
ungathered because laborers could not
be secured.
"Of the crops gathered a great deal
remains on the plantations, or is depos.
tied elsewhere, because boats cannot be
secured to ship it to the Magdalena
river. Where large quantities of coffee
remain at river ports awaiting ship
ment, the coffee in hand, which, for
various reasons, cannot go forward for
export, is roughly spoken of as hun
dreds of thousands of bags. A great
deal of this coffee was bought by for
eigners, or taken by them in payment
for debts, before the imposition of the
present duty of 80 cents gold per 100
kilograms (22046 pounds) and before
the heavy increase in freight rates from
the interior to the coast had taken place.
All this coffee today represents a heavy
loss. 1t is insisted by those familiar
with the business that coffee from the
interior of Colombia cannot withstand
the charges against it.
MANY American houses are heavily
interested in the present large holdings
of Colombian coffee, some of them being
holders and others as creditors of Co.
lombian holders, and some in both re-
spects.
"There is no means of foretelling
how soon the present strained situation
may be relieved. Those most interested
are not basing their calculations on
early relief -
