Statements of Priests.

Manila, April 2.-Up to noon today
III cases of cholera had been reported
and II deaths from the disease had oc-
Cured.
The health board, since the establish
ment of the detention camp, has been
having much difficulty in finding the
whereabouts of cases of cholera. As
soon as the members of a household
find a case they either send the sick
person out of the house or flee them
selves.
Major Maus. the insular health COM
missioner. has written to the bIsho,,
obiecting to the action OF the priests in
informing the people that no cases OF
cholera have occurred: that only cases
of cholerine have been discovered ans
that the sanitary precautions are only
taken to annoy the people. Major Maus
has made great number Of postmor-
tenn examinations and found that they
were all of the malignant Asiatic type
of cholera.

grevious and fearful condition, because
she had been restricted in ner allow
ance of Grape-Nuts. The father says,
II am little at rome and ! hardly un-
derstood why TIE absence of one par

that she was refusing meat and almost
every other kind of food.
Since she has been using Grape-Nuts
a serious condition of constipation of
the bowels has been changed to a thor
oughly FORMAL condition and her flesh
is as solid as a rock.
I uuieted her grief by agreeing to let
her write letter. or 7 would write II
she would tell me what to say, so here
it is: My dear Idr. Graz De-Nuts:
Mamma will not rive me all the Grape
Nuts I want. She says I must eat
some beef, and I don't like 1t; I Just
like Grape-Nuts better than avthinp
else. with cream on them. Mamma
used to soak them in water. but now
just eat them dry with cream on them.
If had ten dollars to buy Grape-Nuts
with, I would fiji the big pantry shelf.
then mamma would give me more. '
am six years old. With love, and
thanking you for making Grare-Nuts.

iron Company state that they have
not progressed sufficiently in their in

but they claim the Nelson was one OF
the best governed mines at Dayton

of the taking care Of confederate
graves along with the graves of union
soldiers. / am satisfied that if it were
put forth as a campaign issue it Woulc
arouse q bitterness which might deia3
reforms far more important to the
southern people. The care of the con
federate graves is a patriotic duty an"
one that the southern people would
not be willing to have entirely turned

are of great pecuniary value to the

During the recent campaign J. ID.
Lee, superintendent OF the peniten-
tlary was absent from that institution
much Of the time making stump
speeches, and during the time his
guards We're given frequent leave of
absence, This confirms the statement
made several days ago that II Mr..
Lee had given more attention TO his
duties and less to politics the out
break at the penitentiary would likely
not have occurred Portland Tele-
gram.
This does MIR. Lee an injustice In
one way, as he was out making
speeches for Furnish and the Repub-
lican ticket, and doing just what the
same class of newspapers criticised
MIR, Geer for not doing. In the coun-
ties where Mr.. Lee spoke good returns
came in for Mr.. Furnish, so that Gov.
ornor Geer was really magnanimous
for letting Mr. Lee go on the stump
for Mr. Furnish When the outbreak
took place, Mr.. Lee was one OF the
first on the ground and was one Of
the first in pursuit and left nothing
undone to effect a capture.
