Col. Harvey's Report of Conditions Up
to June Is.

Surgeon General Forwood today received
a report from Lieut.. Col. P. F. Harvey,
chief surgeon of the division of the Philip
pines. giving a detailed account of the
health Of the troops in those islands, for
the month ended June Is last. The report
shows considerable increase in percent
age Of sick to command present as COM
pared with that Of the previous month.
Col. Harvey says that this Is not due to
cholera, in North Philippines, where
practically all cases of that disease have
occurred among soldiers, sickness is not
more prevalent. 1t is noticed In South Phil
ippines that sickness has increased in quar-
ters, station hospital and department hos
pital. but the reason for this cannot be in
dicated at this time.
Cholera has attacked two officers and
sixty-two American and one native soldier.
Most of these cases occurred In Laguna and
Batangas. The cause in the majority of in
stances has been the drinking of infected
water. A few cases were due to food, con-
taminated either by handling or by flies. A
total of more than $50 places has been at
tackled, extending from Laoag on the north
or Lingayen to Dulag, Leyte, on the south.
A few cases have appeared In Samar and
Leyte but the disease has not spread wide
ly. In the Camarines Sur the epidemic
seems to have been stamped out but in
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 5.96 cases
has been reported with 4, $50 deaths. In the
city there have been / $50 cases with LOO
deaths. Cholera work is carried on by the
insular board of health in the city of Ma
nila and by army medical officers at nearly
all places in the provinces. Col. Harvey
says that the additional demand upon medi-
cal officers has been met in the most salts
factory manner. Commerce is extensive be-
tween points on the Laguna province and
Manila. AS long as the ports of that prov
ince were closed. Col Harvey says no
cholera appeared but Immediately on OPEN
ing them the disease first attacked the ports
and thence spread back into the country,
invading nearly every town in it's course.
1t is there, especially, that many cases die
without being reported. The people in the
small towns are very ignorant; they con-
slider cholera a visitation of Providence and
cannot be induced to take proper precau-
tionary measures.
During the month covered by the report
tine total sick was 2,265, being I.29 per cent
of the command present, 81 050, and during
the same period there were 20 deaths in
Guiding 81 from cholera and one killed in
action.

Music for the Veterans.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
AS the daughter of a veteran who put
in four of the best years of his life fight
ing to keep all the stars on the flag and
the stripes unsullied, / object to having
the songs and the melodies he loves re-
placed by ragtime music. The chairman of
the G. A. r. encampment committee on
bands says that when bands nave asked
for engagements they have promised to
play ''only national airs" and he has re-
sponded, 'for mercy's sake, don't" The
cultivated ear of the chairman may not
relish" these national airs, but he never
was a soldier, SO he cannot be blamed
perhaps. for his grave error of judgment
The one strong complaint that has ever
been made of national encampment bands
is that they will not play national airs
They boom out some heavy march from
Wagner or "Tannhauser," or a ripping
waltz from some Italian opera, and expect
the tired old feet of men who plodded with
Sherman to the sea to keep step to the
strange tunes that mean nothing to them
But let a band come along playing ''We'll
Rally Round the Flag" and what happens?
Eyes brighten. shoulders Straighten back
and in minute far down the line of old
and halting men the words are taken up
In three seconds more half a mile of vet
Grams are singing as they sang forty years
ago, when to rally round the flag meant
danger, aye, death, to many, and the crowd
takes up the echo.
Let the band drop into John Brown"
Never on earth was there a more magnifi-
cent marching tune. and how these war
worn veterans love it, Marching Through
Georgia" will galvanize hospital fun of
half-dead old soldiers. when Johnny
Comes Marching Home will put life into

that all soldiers love. And so one might go
through a hundred of these. many of them

Knipple, who was arrested here last week
by direction of Sheriff H. n. Russell of
Leesburg, Va, was brought before Justice
John Wood this afternoon for the purpose
of having preliminary hearing. Knipple
and his counsel, Joseph w. Carver, were
present and asked for trial. Mr.. Carver
was shown a telegram from Sheriff Rus
sell, which stated that a hearing on the
requisition had been fixed to take place
in Baltimore before Governor Smith to-
morrow. 1t was then agreed that the
prisoner should be held until after the
governor of Maryland had decided whether
or not he would sign the requsition.
Mr.. Carver stated that it was not prob
able the prisoner would be taken to Bal
timore tomorrow, but that he Carver
will attend the hearing and resist the
granting of the requisition by every means
in his power. 1t is admitted that man
named knipple was in Leesburg when
Craven was lynched, but it is denied that
the prisoner held here had anything to do
with the lynching. except that he may
have been carried along with the mob

Judge Favors Early Trials.

Should number of men be indicted by
the grand jury for participation in the
lynching, some Of the trials will undoubt-
edly go over until the September term of
the court, and possibly until October. 1t
is the intention Of Judge Tebbs, however,
to have the cases disposed of as early as
possible. Should indictments be returned
against men who are in Jail and these men
desire a speedy trial, the court will proba-
bly, accommodate them.
Judge Tebbs will favor a speedy trial of
the cases. The question Of how they shall
be tried will not be determined until the
defendants appear in court after indict-
mentS are found. 1t is stated that eyi-
dence will be given before the grand jury
which will tend to implicate a number of
persons in excess of the number returned
by the grand jury, but indictments will
probably not be returned unless conclusive
testimony is given. Should an indictment
charging a number of men jointly with re-
sponsibility for Craven's death be returned
counsel will probably ask for separate
trials. 7. H. 3,
