Cuyapo Nueva Ecija,

We sailed from San Francisco on

reached OH June IS. Upon embark
ing the luxurious, roomy cabins,
modern equipments, aud careful
regard Of every element conducive
TO comfort and pleasure were at

the Bay of San Francisco, we pass
ed the beautiful Golden Gate"
and with a smile on our lips and a
tear in our eve, waved adieu to the
shores Of the United States.
a The sea being rather tempestuous
we began to regret leaving Terra
Firma" as most Of us were the
victims Of a genuine case of "mal
de mere. However it was Of short
duration aud we were able after
the first night to enjoy the iivigor-
ating sea breeze and excellent cui-
sine. Over the abounding pillows
we were carried safely and swiftly

Before coming into port the first
land we sighted was Molokai, forty

SUFFERING REPORTED
A HOPEFUL VIEW IS TAKEN
confidence in Ability Of the Government
to Stamp out Disaese

New Orleans, Aug. S.-Some
probability exists that there will
shortly be considerable relaxation
Of quarantine restrictions in
Louisiana. Governor Blanchard is
urging President Souchon of the
state board of health to take steps
toward that end and DR.. Souchon S
energy in the matter already is be-
ginning to show results, his in
timation of litigation in ST Lam
dry having SO modified the quaran-
tine in that parish that il is to be
to all freight forwarded in fumiga-
ted cars.
Governor Blanchard says he is re-
ceiving complaints Of suffering
from many parts Of the state.
Medicines. ice and coal and many
other necessaries are wanted and
there is a demand everywhere for
services. The marine hospital ser
vice is sending reports TO all con-
ference Of various health boards to
show that the mosquito cannot be
transmitted bv freight and urged
uniformity in the quarantine re-
gulations.
An appeal has been sent by
President Gonchaux and Secretary
Mayo Of the Progressive union to
the managing editors of leading
newspapers asking them to guard
their columns against alarmist re-
ports and grotesque exaggeration
of the situation here. No COM
plant ismade against the publica-
tion Of the full facts of the local
conditions, but il is not desired
that false ideas Of the situation
should be spread broadcast. Full
confidence is expressed in the abil-
lily Of the federal government to
stamp out the deseass before
frost.
