People Flee to Mountains, Leaving
Their Dead and Dying.

1t is announced that 5.124 cases Of
cholera and 2,74o deaths from that
disease were reported in the Province
Of IloiIo, Island Of Panay, on Monday.
This is the highest record for any dist
rict since the outbreak occurred and
exceeds the total of Manila and many
of the provinces since the commencent
The town of Miago, in the Province
of Iloilo, was the worst sufferer, 1873
cases being reported there Monday AT
Cabatuan there were o3o cases, and al
Dumangas 3o5 cases were reported or
Monday.
The people are fleeing to the mount
aims, leaving the dead unburied ane
the dying uncared for. The government
has ordered additional doctors and me-
dicines to be sent to Iloilo.
The number of victims makes ordin
ary sanitary measures impossible. The
totals for all the provinces on Monday
we're $500 cases and 1901 deaths.

follows soon after the adjournment of
the coming session; as experience proves
that the influence in legislation OF a
lieutenant general wanes as he ceases
to command, the suggestion is made
that it would, perhaps, he the part of
prudence for the Secretary OF War to
have the fight in behalf of the staff
reorganization postponed until the next
long session. The Secretary could
throw his energies at the coming ses-
sion into the passage of the Dick bill
for the reorganization OF the militia,
which went through the House, with
out notable opposition, i'll the closing
hours of the last session.
The Secretary of State, of all Cabi-
ret officers, is peculiarly at the mercy
of Congress. The requirement that
|two-thirds of the Senate shall consent
to the ratification Of treaty gives that
body SO completely the whip hand that
the suggestion is not wholly fanciful
that the Clerk Of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations should be detail
ed to act as Secretary of State. At
least, somebody in similar spirit OF
submissiveness 10 the Senate organiz-
alton is necessar1 at the executive end
of Our foreign relations if treaties are to
be ratified.
Where There is Little Friction.
The Cabinet officers TO whoman falls
the recommendation Of routine things
meet less disappointment in dealing
with Congress. Few issues ever arise,
for example, between the Secre:ar, OF
Agriculture and the two houses OF
Congress. AT least, none has arisen
since Mr.. Morton tried to cu; off the
free-seed distribution by executive
order; Congress promptly changed the
wording of the law so as to leave the
matter in no sense at his discretion, and
at the same time, by way Of empha lis,
greatly Increased the amount of the az
preparation. But this incident was
xceptional in Agricultural Depa1iameut
history. The Interior Department has
not recently encountered Congressional
stoms, because it has had no measure
of legislative reform which it has
brought before Congress- One of its
bureaus, the Pension Office, is often a
storm-center, but seems now remarka-
bly, quiet. 1t is understood to be Com
missioner Wares view that the pension
question and pension legislation, if left
alone, will settle, themselves. The
friends of the veterans in Congress will
for the time being, at leafs, be satisfied
with the slightly more liberal admins
tration of the taw which he is giving,
while the lessening of the roll, through
natural causes, quiets the criticism Of
other side.

slider Macedonian Situation
Serious.

Diplomatic circles in Constantinople
do not think the situation in Macedonia
as serious as would appear from the Tur-
kish governments military preparations
in calling out &c, 900 Of the militia reser-
yes.
The Portes alarm is attributed partial
ly to the manoeuvres and other incidents
of the Shipka Pass fetes. The political
importance of these, however, is consi-
dered to have been greatly exaggera-
ted, in view of this the movements ne
cessarily will be stopped. 1t is not thought
that the threats of the Macedonian
committee will foment a general revolt
OF develop into anything very serious

The Poster GQSe.

Ramon Collazo, a member of the So
cialist party of this city yesterday post
ed a Dooley political poster over one
announcing the candidacy of Manuel
Egozcue. Several followers of Egozcue
who were in the locality at the time,
objected. A battle of words resulted,
during which someone charged Collazo
with having a stilleto.
A policeman was called and was told
to search the man. Just as the police
man was about to do so, the stilleto
dropped to the ground.
Collazo and man named Orazo were
arrested. Each were fined five dollars
for disturbing the peace. Collazo was
also sentenced to the Deposito for thirty
days for carrying dangerous weapons.
The case will probably be appealed.
