Only Five Philippine Provinces Being
Ravaged by Cholera.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Anxious in
quiries about the cholera situation in
the Philippines from relatives and
friends of Americans now in the is
lands indicate undue alarm. which is
not borne out by the information re-
ceived by the bureau Of insular af-
fairs. Gable inquiry was made of Gov
ernor Taft as to the actual conditions
at this time In a cablegram received
today Governor Taft states that the
cholera has practically disappeared
from the island of LuZon. and that in
Manila there have been only an aver
age of two cases a day during the last
ten days. In all twenty provinces are
now practically free from the cholera.
Only five provinces are now seriously
affected. the provinces of Occidental
Negro, Capiz, Samar, Misamis and
Iloilo.
The mortality, which in the begin
ming reached 90 per cent. has been
greatly reduced and is now below 80
per cent. The commissioner OF public
health for the archipelago states that
Cebu has already been declared clean
port and that Manila will be so de-
clared on Nov. l.

the park and found her husband and
Mrs. Cooper chatting on one OF The

II was about two days after this
that Mrs. Roberts fled a suit for Gi-

HOLLAND TAKES NEW COURSE
Proffers Service to Enlighten Brave
Boer Leaders.
OF A DUTCH COMMISSION.

London, Feb. 1.-The Hague cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says he
is able to announce on authority that
the Dutch note to Great Britain, after
rehearsing the earnest concern of that
government at the prolongation of
hostilities in South Africa, offered its
good offices in bringing them to closeI
To this end Holland asked whether
Great Britain would be willing to per-
NIT Dutch commission to proceed to
South Africa, to enlighten the Boer
leaders in the field as to the real posi-
ton of affairs, anil more especially
since it is understood that there is not
the slightest chance of Intervention on
the part of any European power, and
that the prolongation of hostilities is
useless, as the brave struggle can
serve no further good purpose.
the correspondent says the Dutch
government expressly announces in
this note that it possesses no authori-
zation whatsoever from the Boer lead
ers, either in Europe or South Africa,
to take this suggested step, but that it
appeals to Great Britain on the ground
of common humanity, for military per-
mission for the Dutch commission to
accomplish its mission of peace. Such
permission would bind neither the
British government to the discussion of
terms or the initiation of any negotia-
tions, nor pledge the Dutch govern
ment for the success of its self-imposed
task
1t is understood that Great Britain
il awaiting the rece pit of Lord Kitch-
ener's views on this suggestion and is
willing to grant the requested safe
conduct to the Dutch commission if
Lord Kitchener offers no objections,
though it is not hopeful of any practi-
cal result from the effort.
The truth appears to be that DR..
Kuyper, the Dutch premier, despairing
because of the negative attitude of DIR.
Leyds, the European representative of
the Transvaal, and his party, who
maintained that their credentials only
permitted negotiations on the basis of
the retention of Boer independence,
decided to appeal to the fighting
burghers. This explains the wish of
the Boer delegates in Europe to dis
sociate themselves from the action
taken by Holland.

Paducah ParalyZed

Paducah, Ky, Feb. 1--Paducah is
paralyzed. In two days there was not
a Telegraph message sent out or re-
ceived. Every wire was down from the
sleet storm. Trains are hours late and
nothing can be heard of them. The
city is without light or motive power
and it will be several days before the
confusion is dispelled. The total dam
age will probably amount to 5000, 900.
The damage to stocks of merchandise
from the water forced through the
roofs by the sleet and ice will amount
alone to over 100000 The Cumber-
land Telephone company is probably
the heaviest sufferer.

Manila Cigars by the Million.

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-Private adj
vices from Manila state that there are
over two million cigars on the way
from the Philippines to this country.
1t is thought that by the middle of
March, at the latest, there will be ten
times that number consigned to Amer
lea. Of the shipment now coming, 600,
600 alone are for one firm in this city.
The tax on these goods under the pres
ent law, is the internal revenue tax.
The letter also states that the different
factories in the island are working day
and night. There seems to be fear in
the islands that the present law will be
revoked and the manufactures of the
Manila article are determined to take
advantage of the opportunity.

WHEAT EXPORTS INCREASE.
But Little Corn Going Abroad
Heavy Cotton Crop Hold Prices.
NUMEROUS LABOR DISPUTES.

New York, Feb. 3.-R. G. Dunn &
Co. IS weekly review of trade says:
Despite some drawbacks the business
situation continues satisfactory, with
especially good news from manufac-
turing centers. Labor disputes are
somewhat more numerous and low
water stopped mills in parts of the
northwest. Special lines were stimu-
lated by seasonable weather, but the
| same influence effected others adverse
ly.
Footwear shops in New England
have large orders for spring goods and
are still busy on seasonable lines,
while weekly shipments continue to
exceed those of last year. Wholesale
buyers are in the Boston market, but
show an inclination to delay placing
! contracts at the present advanced
prices. Hides have declined still fur
Their. Textile mills are well occupied
and the lack of accumulations in first
hands gives strong tone to the mar
ket, though there is much evidence of
conservatism among the buyers. Fewer
lines of new woolens have been opened
than were expected. The raw material
is sustained by brisk competition and
firm prices at the London wool sale.
Even at the lowest point of the week
wheat was sc and corn 1sc higher than
at the corresponding date last year.
Foreign buying of wheat was not per-
ceptibly stimulated by the lower prices,
but there continued steady outgo, ag-
gregating 3,764, s73 bushels for the week,
flour included, compared with 3, 1924, 75s
bushels a year ago. Consumption of
wheat as fodder or holding back for
higher prices prevents the big yield
from swallowing receipts, which for the
week were 2,s4O,Os1 bushels, against
2,775, 975 last year. The reduced yield
of corn is reflected in interior arrivals
of only 2, 1879, 1865 bushels, compared with
4,9os, 962 bushels a year ago, while the
high price is responsible for Atlantic
exports of 331, $50 bushels against
2,41s, O13 last year. Conflicting state
ments hold the cotton market in sus-
pense, but there is no uncertainty as to
the unparalleled yield of cotton which
put the price within a fraction of the
| lowest point on record.

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
Stored Explosives Blow up Killing,
Manning And Destroying.
DlSPATCHERS ARE HEROES,

New York, Jan. 29.-The reserve
supply of high explosives stored at the
Park Avenue shaft of the Rapid Tran
sit Tunnel now in course of construc-
ton, blew up. The giant blast killed
six persons, injured a hundred others
and seriously damaged all the property
reached by the flying debris and the
vibration of the shock.
the irregular square formed by the
Murray Hill hotel on the west, the Man
haitian Eye and Ear hospital and the
Grand Union Hotel on the east and the
Grand Central station on the north,
was the scene of the explosion.
The buildings named sustained the
greatest damage, but the affected ex-
tend for several blocks in four
directions from the center.
Chief Dispatcher G. H. Wilson and
his four assistants, who were directing
having several hundred trains to look
out for, were scratched with flying
glass, but did not leave their chairs,
even when they could not see their
instruments because of smoke. One
man, Foster, who was watching a sim
gle track strip in Connecticut, did not
even get up 10 look at the ruins after
the smoke cleared away. The station
presented somewhat the appearance of
a dismantled castle, with the big win
dows only rugged holes.
The damage may exceed 100000
The first estimate of the Murray Hill
hotel placed the loss at 100000, but
later the hotel was abandoned as I'M
safe. If the building is condemned the
loss on it alone will approach s1,OOO,-
600. The damage to the Grand Union
was estimated at 900 and that OF
the Manhattan hospital at s25, 700.
The loss at the Grand Central station
was entirely in glass, as was that OF
the hundred or more other buildings af-
fected by the explosion.

Reducing War Taxes.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The bill re-
ducing war revenue taxes ST, 900, 900
has been completed by Chairman Payne
of the ways and means committee who
will bring it before the house following
the oleomargarine bill. All rates are
brought back to those existing before
the Spanish war, except on mixed
flour. The repeal section is brief and
restores the old rates. In some cases,
as in that of cigars, tobacco, beer, etc.
the changes have been made since the
original war taxes were imposed so
that a simple repeal of existing law
would not restore the old rates Special
sections cover these cases.
