CHOLERA INCREASES,
Spread of Disease In Manila Causes Much
Alarm,

MANILA, Nov. 1.-THE number Of
cholera cases Is increasing in this city.
and the spread of the disease is caus-
ing some alarm. There are on an aver
age thirty cases daily. The Funst re-
serve hospital the casual camp at San
ia Mesa and Bilibid prison are now in
cluded among the places infected. The
disease is spreading in the Marquina
valley, where the danger of an infec-
tion of the water supply is regarded as
grave. Should the water supply become
infected general epidemic is cOnsid-
cred to be inevitable.
The cholera reports from the PROV
1nces show decrease in the number
of cases.
A conference Of the bishops, priests
and leaders Of the Philippine Roman
Catholic church will be held in Manila
next week. They propose to address
memorial to Mgr. Guidi, the apostolic
delegate in the Philippines, setting
forth their position. A number of ma
tive priests who sympathize with this
movement but are still adhering to the
Roman Catholic church will seek an
interview with Mgr. Guidi before re-
affirming their allegiance to Rome or
joining the dissenters.
