Killed by Cave-in Of Earth.

h.iltu ny NdFE-lu u AdkLh
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook yesterday
morning at IL o'clock held an inquest
over the remains of Joseph Bowen, the
negro who was killed by the caving in
Of earth while working in an excava-
tion On Connecticut Avenue northwes.
Tuesday morning. a large number Of
witnesses were called, after which the
Jury returned a verdict scoring the
contractor in charge for failing to
properly protect his men while en-
gagged in such work. The full text of
the verdict was as follows:
we find that said Joseph Bowen
came to his death between the hours
Of . and $3.50 a. m. on the day of Au-
gust 5, in an excavation in the rear of
fi42 Connecticut Avenue northwest,
from injuries received by the caving in
OF the south bank OF said excavation
We, the jury, find from evidence that
not sufficient caution was used by the
contractor of said excavation by not
strengthening the bank TO prevent it
from caving in. We also recommend
all excavations below six feet be prop
erly protected
Bowen's remains were removed from
the morgue to an undertaking estab-
lishment to be prepared for burial

Treated at Hospitals.

From the beginning Of the epidemic
all cases. with few exceptions. were
treated in cholera hospitals organized
by the board OF health. From March
2G until April IS all cases were sent TO
the hospital established on the san
Iazaro Grounds. and the contacts 10 the
detention camp adjoining. which mad
previously been constructed for bubonic
plague contacts.
Fortunately this camp was practically
ready for occupation on the appearance
Of cholera Later a detention camp
cholera hospital of canvas was estab-
lishrd on a high tract Of land. in the
suburbs q. Manila, known as Santa
Mesa.
The use OF this magnificent piece Of
property was secured to Inc board Of
health fneo Of cost. through the gener-
osity Of Senior Juan Tuason. very
prominent and public-apirtcd Filipino
resident OF Manila. The detention camp
at -~~Ia- Mesa was provided with ac-
commoda tions for six thousand contacts.
and the hospital adjoining for one hun
Gred paIients.
The grounds were laid out and tents
located according to military reguia-
lions, and provided with a system Of
water sapply taken from the main con
duit at that point, bath houses. sanitary
closets, kitchens, store rooms. etc.
Camp at Santa Mesa.
The camp at Santa Mesa was finally
abandoned on account of distance from
the cenner of the city, the rough ave
nue. leading to it, and the bad eject on
patients as result of transportation
there. Before the abandonment OF the
Santa Mesa cholera camp, arrange
ments were made to establish hos
pital in a large building on Gale Her
ran. formerly used By the army. and
known rs the Second Reserve Hospital.
This magnificent building is located in
the center Of large tract of land ia
Ermiti1 surrounded by a wall. and is
very accessible from all par-s of The
city T. is believed that a considerable
number of lives were saved by reason
of the dispatch in transferring patients
to this hospital, and the fine condition
OF the. streets leading to it.
The free use of this building was Sc
cured to the board OF health through
the courtesy and kindness OF seuors
Trinidad Jurado, Bertrand de Lis. and
other members OF the commission OF the
Spanish colony. The entire lower floor
with kitchen. dining room, laundry. etc,
and g 'ounds, was placed at the dis
Fosal OF the American authorities. be
