SANITATION At MANILA.

Americans seem to have found condi-
found and remedied at Havana. A spe-
cial correspondent of the Medical Rec
ord is quoted by the New York Tribune
as presenting a heart sickening picture
of the difficulties in the way of sani-
tary regeneration In Manila. The chief
obstacle to be overcome is the utter
lack of sewers. or even the crudest sys-
TEN of drainage. Kitchen refuse is
consumed by chickens, dogs n pigs
before it has a chance TO become Of
~fensive or dangerous. Many houses have
their own %cesspools for human excre-
tons, but these are usually inside the
foundation walls, and have been so
carelessly constructed aud SO made
.quately cared for that the soil of the
city has been impregnated to an appall-
ing degree. Where an attempt has been
made in a few high class dwellings to
employ water to remove this filth the

does not serve its purpose; and no gen.
eral application of water is possible,
first, because there is not a sufficient
supply, and. second, because there are
no sewers. The expediency of con-
|structing the latter is made doubtful,
moreover, by the fact that the Philip
pines are subject to earthquakes. which
might disrupt and ruin an elaborate
pipe system in a single day.
The American authorities have not
been dannted by this situation, how
ever. Already they have established a
number of public latrines in the dis
tricts occupied exclusively by the
natives, and the people are compelled to
use them. To keep thu lartines In
proper condition an elaborate bucket
and scow service has been organized.
Some day, after means,have been found
for giving the city more water, 1t Is
likely that a system of open drains will
be developed. BY keeping the rivulets
and other natural hollows which lead
to the Pasig free from vegetation that
stream can be utilized to carry off all

easy matter, the Medical Records corr
respondent believes. to get rid of the
mosquitoes.
The development OF other sanitary
safeguards for the capital of the Phil
ippines has one on in a fashion which
this authority declares Will rebound to
the credit OF the new rulers in that
archipelago. A magnificent quarantine
station has been established at Mari
lveles, thirty miles from the city proper.
The practice there is modelled on ia
pans, which in turn is only an admira-
BILE imitation of that II the United
States marine hospital service. Provis-
ion for rigid inspection detention sus-
poets and fumigation has also been
made at six other ports Of entry. The
thoroughness Of these precautions JUS
titles the hope that a marked decrease

lbonic plague will soon be observed.

zone thing that ails tire Iowa roads"

The Cedar Rapids Gazette observes
that there are always a lot of people
who want to break up any good insti-
