Mrs. O'Malley Made Purchase in In

INDIANAPOLIS, July S.-The most

which they we're 20 be used, but the fact
that she had frequently purchased cos

Worst Outbreak in Archi-
pelago During Past
Twenty Years.
MANY U. S. SOLDIERS DEAD
Fully One Hundred Have Succumbed to
Dread Malady-Disease Contracted
From Bad Food and Water-Nearly
1000 Dead to Date.

Information at the War Department
confirms a dispatch from San Jose.
printed in The Times yesterday, regard
ing the spread of the cholera in the
Philippines. as described by q returned
physician.
Not since 1882. when the native popu-
lation of the Philippines was decimated
by virulcnt epidemic OF Asiatic chol-
era. has there been such an outbreak
of the disease as is now ravaging the
archipelago.
Officers returning from the Philippines
express the fear that the mortality will
approach the figures attained twenty
years ago. Because the natives are igno-
rant OF the simplest rules of hygiene
and sanitation the epidemic is bound to
increase during the hot weeks to come.
Army Has Lost 100 Men.
The dread disease has made inroads
on the army and has caused fully 100
deaths. But these have been due to the
disobedience on the part of the victims
to the orders of officers regarding what
they should ca. and drink. More strin-
gent orders have been issued, and mas
much as General Chaffee's recent cable
grams have made no mention Of the ef-
fect-of the disease. 1t is thought by Sec
retary Root, Colonel Edwards, Chief of
The Division OF Insular Affairs; Sur
geon General Forwood, and others at the
War Department that there has been no
turn for the worse in the situation. The
natives are numb with fear OF the
cholera, and the death rate among them
is fully s. per cent.
Deaths in Archipelago Over 1000.
In the entire Philippines there were
S,21O cases and 1922 deaths. according
to the last official report. dated May
Is. Surgeon General Forwocd said yes
terday:
The cholera in the Philippines is not
crippliEg the efficiency OF the army or
interfering with 1t in any way. although
there have been cases in Luzon. In
every case. SO far as we have any re-
port. the soldiers violated the sanitary
laws laid down by the officers, drank
unsterillzed water or ate native food. 1t
is probable 10 case Of cholera has de-
yelopcd in the army where all necessary
precautions have been taken.
The natives pay no attention to sani-
tary advice. trusting principally to pray
ers and exhortations. and neglecting all
sanitary measures out of sheer irdlffer-
ence and unbelief in their efficacy. In a
few cases of cholera reported among the
soldiers recently 1t was found in every
instance those stricken had been drink
ing the water of the Pasig River with
out boiling it. and had eaten native
food"
The cholera record yesterday for Ma
Mia was fifty new cases and thirty
deaths. For the provinces the record
was 4e0 new cases and 335 deaths.

RUMORGD THAT Big
GRAIN DEAL IS OFF
Settlement at Ninety Cents
Tor July Corn.
Gates Party Having No Trouble in
Looking After Cash End of the
Dcal-Speculators Dazed.

CHICAGO. July s.-After the board of
trade closed today a rumor spread
quickly through the various cflces that
the big grain deal which has been on
for some weeks had been settled. Ninety
cents for July corn was the figure at
which 1t was asserted the Harris Gates
combine had compromised with the de-
feated bears.
These terms would net a rich profit
for the bulls, of whom John W. Gates
is the leader, and at the rate at which
the price OF the July option has been
soaring for the last few days might
prove q fair bargain for the shorts.

clarcd an old-time trader who sat out
IN the smoking room Of the board OF

where the quotations on July corn were
being posted. The first price recorded
was 81 cents. but within two hours after
trading started the quotation was 80
cents and spcculatcrs generally were
lazed.

ary price to get out of the clutches OF
the bull syndicate.
The advance was not accompanied by
any great excitement. Only small lots
we're traded in, and there was half
cent to q cent fuctuaticn between trars-
actions.
Cash End OF Deal.
Indications are that the Gates party
is having little trouble in looking after
the cash end of the deal. Vessel room
is already being chartered for the pur-
pose of shipping out the corn before .he
end OF the month.
Local stocks were posted today at
S,S7'.000 bushels. an increase for the
week of $4,000 bushels. After touching
80 cents the demand from shorts seemed
to cease. and in the last hour the price
dropped back to Sc cents. closing at ,8i
