Information at the War Department

Not since 1882. when the native popu-
latfon of the Philippines was decimated

era, has there been such an outbreak

officers returning from the Philippines
express the fear that the mortality viii

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 scored fully leo
deaths. But these have been due TO the
disobedience on the part Of the victims
to the orders OF officers regarding what
they should eat 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-
feet Of the disease, it is thought by Sec
rotary Root, Colonel Edwards, Chief Of
the Division Of InsUIar Affairs; Sur
geon General FoTwood, and others at the

natives are numb with fear of the
