LEPROSY IN PHILIPPINES.
Report of Chief Surgeon mt Manila
Says Disease Is Found Gener-
ally throughout Islands.

Army medical officers in the Phil
ippines are giving their attention to
the question of leprosy. The report
Of the chief surgeon at Manila, just
received at the war department, says:
"Leprosy is found generally through
out the islands, probably more in the
Nizayas than elsewhere. At the re-
quest of the commissioner of public
health, medical officers Of the army
searched for and reported many
cases during the year. From their re-
ports it appears that former eSti-
mates of the number of eases of this
disease were placed at too high II
aqure,-as- nothing approaching 20
400 sufferers was found, Reports
were. however, incomplete, as nu'
merous places were not visited.
THE proposed leper colony is much
feared by the people, thus leading tn
cuncealmcnt Of eases, and without
careful study. which was not practi-
cable, early lcprosy is overlooked
M eases have appeared in soldiers,
rs might be expected in view of the
supposedly long period of incubation
The leper colony for natives has not
