 London, Oct liking Edward is par ticularly interested in the presence of the American generals, Corbin and Young, in. England, and, if possible, Ire hopes to met them and General Wood when the latter arrives here. In the meantime the Associated Press learns that his majesty has sent spe- cial word from Scotland that all atten- lions shall be shown the visiting gen erals while they are in London. The king has ordered that if the visitors care to go over Windsor castle all the private apartments therein shall be thrown open and that an equerry shall accompany them over the castle. These especial marks of the kings friendliness are due to no little extent to the accounts given by the British generals returning from the German maneuyers of the extreme friendlness which existed between the American and British officers and to the kindness the former exhibited towards the lat. ter on many occasions. King Edward has caused General Kelly-Kenny, who was one of the British genrals who attended the maneuyers, to notify Gen eral Corbin and General Young of his appreciation of these circumstances. The royal hospitality will be accepted by the Americans, who will also be shortly entertained by War Secretary Broderick, Earl Roberts and other lead ing Englishmen, while Ambassador Choate will give big dinner in their honor. General Young is going to stay With General French at Aldershot for few days, where he will nave an op- portunity of judging the innovations which are being introduced by the new commander of the first army corps.
 When questioned regarding the large number of deaths from cholera at Iio- 1io Island of Panay, General Young said: Tt may be merely a coinci- dence, but believe at the time of the last serious cholera outbreak, several years prior to the American occupa- a- ton, the death rate was much heavier ln August than any other month. and that the epidemic thereafter quickly dled out This is hopeful sign. for Tn those days no sanitary precautions Weer taken. Cholera and malaria are certainly very serious questions, in the Philip mnes.5 The Filipino Is an. almost hope less person to do anything with. By compulsion only can he be compelled to take the measures necessary to stamp out epidemics I always made It court-martial offense for enlisted men to drink anything but boiled water, and insisted on their sleeping under mosquito bars. If those two simple measures would only be adopt- ca by the natives we would have if tle cholera or fever in the Philippines After while, when they See their fel- low natives dying like. flies and Ameri can soldiers under exactly the same conditions lit and we'll, they may profit Dy the example. But fear the ma [ Jority of the uneducated natives will. continue to dig their holes in the sand and drink water therefrom until Amer lcan rifles make such proceeding dan egrous. The task of introducing ssni- tary measures ill Cuba was hard enough, but it is twice as difficrIt 1T, me Philippines. Yet do not despair that eventually we shall be able fo, stamp out such alarming outbreaks as are now occurring. General Davis whom General Chaffee left in charoe Is certainly one of the best men wbo coufd De entrusted with the job"
