CHOLERA CLAIMS MORE
THAN OTHER DISEASES
Death List for Two Weeks
in the Philippines.
Thirty five Soldiers Succumb to the
Asiatic Disease, to Thirty -four
From Other Causes.

The last mail report of casualties from
the Philippines shows that between
June 25 and July 10. thirty-five men died
from Asiatic cholera alone. against thir-
tyfour from all other causes. While the
medical authorities. particularly al
Manila. are doing everything possible &c
stamp out the disease. they are con-
tending against fearful odds of which
the native ignorance of tho commonest
laws of health is not the least. They are
not only personally unclean, but they
fear the physician, and conceal all
knowledge of cases of the disease.

the President was issued. is as follows:
