HEALTH IN THE PHILIPPINES.
General SternberG Reports Very Sat-
isfActOry Conditions.

bAoSNVrt SVuVANAV1bs
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-Surgeon
General Sternberg has resumed his du-
ties ut the war department after an
absence of several months spent In an
inspection of the medical department
Of the army in the Philippines ln re-
gard to his visit he says:
II found the health condition very
satisfactory. l was very much sur
prised to find that in the lowlands,
which are devoted to rice culture, there
is comparatively little malarial fever.
Similar localities in our own southern
states are very much more unhealthy.
Malarial fevers are somewhat more
prevalent at higher levels, but the sum-
mits of the mountain ranges are as a
rule quite healthful.
Typhoid fever Is not as prevalent
as 1t Is in most parts of the United
States, and the mortality from that
disease In the Philippines has been
much less than it was in our camps in
the United States during the Spanish
American war. Dysentery is the most
serious disease with which we have
to contend. but where the troops are
supplied with pure water and not ex-
posed to the hardships attending a
hike this disease does not prevail. No
doubt as conditions become more IA
yorable and troops are provided suita-
BILE barracks the mortality from this
disease will be very much reduced.
pulmonary consumption is quite
prevalent in the Philippines, and Il con-
siderable number of cases have devel-
oped among our own soldiers. These
eases are at once sent to the United
States and are treated in our sanl-
tarlums at Fort Bayard, N. NJ. The
plague continued to prevail to some
extent in Manila, the victims being
mostly Chinese or natives. At the
time left Manila only three cases had
occurred among our soldiers, and | do
not anticipate any extension of the dis
ease among our troops.
81 found the s1pply depots loaded
with supplies and the hospitals in an
excellent condition. The female nurses
are doing excellent work, and all with
whom convcrsed were contcnted and
desrous of remaining in the service.
The hospitals, which We're built by the
SpanarGs and which we now occupy,
are well located and well adapted to
the climate. They have been put in
sanitary condition and are in every |
way satisfactory.
THE convalescent hospital at Cor
rcgldor island is we'll located and prob
ably will be enlarged

NEW CANAL TREATY
A Neutral Waterway Will Be
Provided For.
SENATE AMENDMENTS EMBODIED.
The New Convention simply Supplies
Deficiency In Old Treaty-NO Prin-
clpIe Sacrificed by Either Great
Britain or the United States.

Britain or the United States.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9--There has
been no surrender by England to the
United States In the matter of the new
isthm!an canal treaty, according to the
best authority possible. 1t Is said to be
equally true that the United States has
sacrificed no principle in these negotia-
tions, and the effect of contrary state
ments Is deprecated as likely seriously
70 jeopardize the chances Of the CON
summation of the convention which
shall finally and peacefully settle an Is
sue that has been source Of danger
for the past fifty years.
1t is said that what actually has hap
pened is that each side has preserved
the underlying principle Of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, and the new convention
will provide for waterway neutral at
all times and open to commerce Of the
world. The Clayton Bulwer treaty, how
ever, drawn half century ago. has
proved to be defective in mechanism
for giving effect to this purpose. The
new treaty simply provides this mech-
anism. England is relieved from the
guarantee, which in her case was only
troublesome and which, being assumed
by the United States In toto, Is quite
as effective.
As viewed from the American point
Of view even there was no surrender
on England's part In seeking this relief,
inasmuch as the above mentioned prln-
ciple Is reiterated and affirmed as bind
ing upon the United States. As for the
form Of the treaty. 1t may be stated
that 1t embodies In substance the
amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty which were adopted by the SEN
ate and beyond that tho changes are
believed to be textual rather than sub
stantial.

AN ISLAND STORMED.
Belated Report Of Liberal Ac-
tivity In Colombia.
BRITISH STEAMER UNDER FIRE.
The quito Repeatedly Shot at on the
Port Of Tumaco-Fhe Warship
Icarus Sent From
Panama.

COLON. Colombia, Oct. 9.-The pre-
vious cabling Of this dispatch has been
prevented:
A force of Liberals numbering at
least $50 attacked MORO island, COM
handing the entrance to the port Of
Tumaco, Sept. "a The island had all
along been garrisoned with fewer than
a hundred troops, well supplied with
arms, ammunition and commissary
stores, including more than $50 head
of cattle and other provisions In pro-
portion.
The landing was effected before day
break by means of canoes. Stimuli
taneously the island was stormed from
the other end by Liberals on the main
land.
Moro island Is surrounded by shall
low sand banks, and the only means Of
approaching Tumaco Is by the narrow
river, which is within easy range Of
the island.
The British steamer Quito, bound
from Guayaquil, Ecuador, for Pana-
ma and touching at ports between, an
chOred off Moro island on the night
of Sept. 2G and, weighing anchor at
daybreak, started up the stream to-
ward Tumaco The Liberals fred q
shot across her bows.
Suspecting the situation, she imme-
diately turned, but rifle shots and one
cannon continued to be fired at her,
the former striking her several times
and the latter once, the ball making a
hole right through her above the wa
termark, though the damage In other
respects was slight.
The Quito then steamed to the
farthcst point the tide would permit
and again anchored. The firing was
now resumed, but 1t ceased after
few minutes, the Liberals having dis
covered the imprudence Of their ac-
ton.
1t Is significant that shortly after
the Quito incident became Known the
British warship lcarus left Panama
for destination not made public, but
presumably Tumaco.
The steamship agents have been Off
cially notified not to accept freight at
that port.
The situation on the isthmus IS un-
changed and quiet.
