HEALTH OF THE TROOPS.
sickness an6 Number of Deaths In
the Philippines Increasing.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-surgeon General
Forwood to-day received report from
Lieut.. Col p. f. Harvey, chief surgeon of
the Division of the Philippines. giving
detailed account of the health Of the troops
in those islands for the month ended June
10 last. The report shows considerable
increase in percentage of sick, as COM
pared with that of last month. In the
South Philippines sickness has increased
in quarters, station hospital and depart
ment hospital, but. the report says. the rea-
son for this cannot be indicated at this
time. Cholera has attacked two officers
and sixty-two Americans and one native
soldier Most Of these cases occurred in
Laguna and Batangas. The cause in the
majority of instances has been the drink
ing of infected water and a few cases were
due TO food, contaminated either by hand
ling or by flies. In Samar and Leyte some
cases are reported, but the disease has not
spread widely. In the Camartnes Sur the
epidemic seems to have been stamped out,
but in Laguna and Batangas and the ad-
jacent parts of the province of Tayabas
cholera has spread In virulent epidemic
form, many cases having occurred without
report.
Outside of Manila a total of 5.967 cases
has been reported, with 1920 deaths. In the
city there have been $3.50 cases. with LOO
deaths. Colonel Harvey says the additional
demand upon medical officers has been met
In the most satisfactory manney. The re-
port says the people in the small towns
are very ignorant. They consider cholera
a visitation OF Providence and cannot be
induced to take proper precautionary meas
ures.
During the month covered by the report
the total sick was 2.265 being per cent.
of the command present 31.O5O. and during
the same period there were seventy-nine
deaths, including thirty-seven from cholera
and one killed in action

NEGROES ARE RELIGIOUS.
Ernest Lyon Says They DO Not Lead
MODS Against Their PerIecutorS.

ATLANTA, Ga. Aug. MANY addresses
were delivered at the second days session
of the Negro Young Peoples Educational
and Christian Conference at Piedmont
Park. In his paper on The Present Re
ligious Status Of the Negroes in the United
States" delivered before the congress,
Ernest Lyon, OF Baltimore, claimed for
the negro what he termed the six elements
of religion-humility, patience endurance.
forgiveness. charity and brotherly love.
Measured by these standards the negro was
religious. On lynching he said: Tine ne
gro has been lynched and his body used
fagots for bonfires, but there is no record
in the courts of law charging the negro
with leading mob against his prosecutors
or with putting a torch even TO the homes
of his enemies The negro" he said, lis
a friend OF law and order. He is neither
a striker, Socialist nor an Anarchist.
One of the features of the days meeting
was the following letter Of regret from
President Roosevelt:
My Dear Sir-Your letter of recent date

pies congress to be held in Atlanta Aug

Of thoroughness in whatever part they may
take I'm the worlds work"
Delegates are still arriving and the at

VICTORY FOR LABOR.
Miners Upheld in stopping Work to
Reduce Production

LONDON, Aug. S.-The morning papers
discuss with great warmth to-day the de-
cision handed down by Justice Bigham in
the Kings bench division OF the High
Court of Justice yesterday in a case where
the Welsh coal owners association sued the
miners federation for $4,000 damages for
ordering stop days without consulting the
mine owners. Formerly stop days had been
mutually arranged by a sliding-scale COM
mittee, but In this case the men acted
independently. Justice Bigham decided in
favor of the defendants on the ground that
there was no malice In the action of the
men, who believed that a reduction of the
output would benefit both parties.
The liberal labor organization consider
the Justices verdict as a victory for labor
The Conservative papers urge that the dis
pute be carried to a higher court in the
hope of obtaining a reversal on the ground
that Justice Bigham's decision places
enormous power in the hands of the trades
unions.
