Believed, to Prevalence Of
Asiatic Cholera.

from Manila yesterday monthly health
report by Lieutenant Colonel HeizeHan,
chief surgeon of the military forces in
the Philippines The report shows q
death rate for the month ending May 10
of G.01 per cent for all diseases, which
is somewhat of an increase over the
death rate for several months preceding,
and which Colonel Eeizeman says is due
largely to Asiatic cholera. He reports
that nearly every case among the SOL
diers is due to their failure to observe
the rules OF the army.
There has been UP TO the time of this
report no cases among this soldiers of
Manila. although both the Warren and
the Hancock had 4 few cases on board
Just before leaving for San Francisco.
Colonel Heizeman says that every
medical officer now in the archipelago
is very much needed, and suggests that
it would be advisable to have an IN
crease ii possible.
TIE report shows that up to May 10
there has been ,055 cases Of cholera in
Manila. with SOC deaths. OF these @S
were American cases, 13 Europeans, and
the remainder Filipiroa and Chinese.

ed. and ne now laments the loss os
shade and the general injury to his
premises.
Captain Newcomer a few days ago
wrote Mr.. Croghan a letter In which he
stated that the trees were removed be-
cause they were injuring the smaller
and younger trees next to the sidewalk
which formed part of the continuous
row maintained in the public space, and
which should not be allowed to suffer
from the presence of the larger trees
not belonging to the regular system
Notice in Advance.
Captain Newcomer states that the cir
cumstances referred to relative to the
Information reaching the department
happened last year, and that the man
ner OF it was such that 1t was not DEEM
ed best to take action at that time. He
adds that before the trees were remov-
ed notice was sent by the Superinten-
dent OF Parking. who found the family
absent, as stated.
Captain Newcomer regrets any
Misunderstanding. or that the re-
suits are unsatisfactory. but he
thinks that the removal OF the trees was
justified by the conditions which existed.
without reference to the manner in
which the information reached the de-
partmert, several months ago.

peake and Potomac Telephone Company
that work is progressing on the plans
for a system OF conduits to comply with
the law approved last Friday. provid-
ing for the placing of all telephone
wires underground in the territory de-
scribcd in the act.
This area covers practically the en-
tire northwest territory of the city
proper. including Washington and &C.
lumbia Heights. This is the section in
which the greatest number of telephones
are, and where the greatest number
of wires exist
List of Places.
A list of places is being prepared where
the company desires to run overhead
wires temporarily while the conduits are
under construction. The company has
informed the Commissioners that there
are 9G0 persons who have desired 10
have telephone service. but who have
been deprived of 1t on account of the
laws against stringing wires.
The conduit act permits the stringlng
of wires during the time the work of un-
dergrouEd construction is in progress.
and through this provision the company
intends to connect the various premises
at once, or as soon as the Commission
ers approve the plans.

some curious variations of rendering

surrounded the numerous robberies Of
railroad laborers who have been beating
their way over the road OF the company.
Some OF the facts that have surrounded
anumber Of occurrences have aroused
suspicion that some Of the train men

Sheriff Gordon OF Box Elder county.

fellow brakeman tried to make them
give up some money. They claimed
they had none and tried to leave tho car
at Corinne. 1t Is alleged that Hardman
followed them. 1t il also charged that
he drew n revolver and, pressing it to
tho breast OF the young man who makes
the complaint, searched his pockets. lie
was assisted by n partner, but nothing OF
value was found. Tho affair was report
ed to the Southern Pacific officials and
Fitzpatrick has been working on the
case ever since. The officers claim to
have your witnesses to the assault.
Hardman resides on Grant avenue this
