dov,npour OF rain is the only remedy which
will check the cholera epidemic now raging in
the Philippines. So said Captain z. II. South
an a surgeon in the United States army. who

Captain Southall was for a time in charge Of the
cholera hospital I'm Manila. In speaking of the
epidemic Captain Southall said;
THE Americans in the Philippines seem I'M
able TO cope with the cholera plague. Despite
the rigorous methods used to suppress II, the
disease seems TO spread and increase. 1t is

the fall weather we are having Will Send to
stimulate II even more. The cabbage crop is
very heavy this year and our market has been
more OF less glutted the entire season up to
now but the situation is somewhat changed
today, receipts being much lighter. and they
are in much stronger demand. Irish potato
crop is moving rapidly and at prices that af-
ford heavy sales. A heavy crop Of apples is re-
ported in the west. while they are not so plen-
tiful in the east, and western fruit, from all
reports will be of better grade. The crop
this year will be much cheaper than last.
Poultry is hardly 50 plentiful, but owing to the
extreme high prices IL has been bringing the
demand has been very much decreased in fries.
while hens aer on the advance. The season is
about here for turkeys. ducks and geese and

men armed with bolos. The band
wantonly killed two women and one
girl and wounded several other per-
sons A detachment of the native
constabulary arrived Unexpectedly at
Laguaimonoc and attacked and rout-
ed the bandits, killing several of Rios
followers and rounded up 700 men,
many of whom are suspected of COM
plicity in the attack on Laguaimonoc.
One of Rios lieutenants were cap
tured and said Rios was a direct de-
scendant of God; that it was beyond
the power of man to injure him.
The constabulary also captured one
of Rios mountain ghouls. Four de-
tachments of the constabulary are
now following the main band of out
laws.
