CHOLERA IN THE PHILIPPINES.

1t is not altogether pleasant news which the
transport Thomas brings from Manila. Several
times during the summer and autumn it was
believed that the cholera which had prevailed
there had at last been suppressed. Almost i'm
mediately thereafter a fresh outbreak would be
reported This has happened again within the
last few weeks. When the Thomas left the
Philippines for San Francisco there was an
average of thirty new cases daily in Manila
alone. One discouraging feature of the situa-
ton is that cold weather, which was expected
TO suppress the evil temporarily. has now ar
rived but has not been entirely efectuai. More
over, it was in Manila that by far the best fight
with the disease waged this year Out
through the rest Of the archipelago the pest,
though not quite SO bad as it was, continues
to rage in alarming manner Up to the close
of October more than one hundred thousand
cases had been reported. and 60 per cent NEAR
ly two-thirdst had terminated fatally. There is
some reason to suspect too, that many cases
We're not brought TO the attention of the au-
thorties. These figures, therefore, probably do
not fully reveal the havoc wrought during the
year now drawing TO a close.
This same disease has been widely prevalent
in India, Japan. China and Egypt during the
last summer. In the two countries first named
its ravages were comparatively light In the
others it equalled or exceeded the destruction
wrought in the Philippines In Nankin alone
there were forty Thousand deaths. In China
and Egypt there has been a marked reduction
in the number Of new cases. On the whole per-
haps, those countries are now better off than
! the Philippines. At the same time so conserva-
| tive periodical as -'The Hospital of London,
| is moved TO remark that cholera is once more
upon the warpath" The health officer of the
port of London propounces the situation the
| writing the wall which WARTS the sani-
tary authorities of Europe TO he on their guard
| next spring and summer. The United States is
| not in the same danger, because our ports ere
