It appears from Gen. Chaffee's report
that the cholera Is scattered all over the
islands, and the large number of deaths In
the army has created considerable conster-
nation at the War Department. Although
there are reports from time to time that
the disease Is abating, the large number of
deaths and mail reports indicate that the
cholera situation Is decidedly serious Army
officers who have recently returned from
the Philippines say that the worst is not
yet reached.
Surgeon General O Reilly has received the
VI LII. <AOdii, Culel surgeon, Q1VlS-
ion of the Philippines. for the month ended
August 49, 1902. 1t shows that the per
centage of sick to command has fallen from
7.29 per cent for the month ended July Is,
1902, to 7.19 for the month ended August
Is, 1902.
Col. Adair says there have been fifty-one
deaths from Asiatic cholera during the
month, three less than the preceding
month. The decreased command however.
makes the percentage of mortality from
this cause somewhat higher. Since date
pearance in Ilocos Norte. No cases of
variola or Of bubonic plague have been re-
portad during the month
