MANILA, Nov. 2S--Acting under
orders from Washington Admiral
Sperry OF the Atlantic feet today
sent surgeons ashore to make an In
vestigation OF the cholera situation
In the city.
The orders from Washington came
In response to a petition sent by the

asking that the men OF the feet be
allowed TO come ashore, and repre-
senting that the cholera that has pre-
vailed 10 not only under control, but
that II has practically left, and there
are but q few isolated cases among
the natives in the outlying districts.
Sperry has taken contrary view OF
the situation, and has given Il as his
opinion that TO permit the men to go
ashore would be to expose them to
the danger Of contracting the disease.
but the people are now confident
that a report of the surgeons will
show the opposite, and believe that
the men will be permitted to come
ashore.
Surgeons Report Fayorably.
The surgeons made a report to

CARNEGIE FAVORS
TARIFF REFORM
lays That Infant Industries" No
Longer Need Protection.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga notable
article from Andrew Carnegie, deal
ing with the tariff will appear in the
forthcoming December number of the
Century magazine. The iron master
takes the position that ''infant indus
tries" no longer need protection; that
the steel and other industries have
now grown beyond the need of tariff
protection; that duties on the luxur-
les used by the rich should be main
tanned, but that those on manufact-
ured articles should be reduced great
ly or abolished entirely when no long
er needed.
Mr.. Carnegie's article is entitled
MY Experience With the Views Up
on the Tariff" He first reviews the
tariff movement down to the present
Dingley law, giving number of an
ecdotes in which he figured with the
leaders of the various periods. He
adds:
Much water has run under the
bridges since then. Many conditions
have occurred, and hence many
changes can be judiciously made in
the tariff There is no doubt about
this; but, on the other hand, have
been led to the conclusion that condi-
lions have changed so greatly in the
interval that the tariff should now
be viewed from a new standpoint"
Interprets Voters Wishes.
The writer assumes that a decided
majority of the voters are agreed:
First, that it is advisable for new
countries to encourage capital by
protective duties when seen to be nee
essaFy to develop new industries;
second, that after full and exhaus-
tive trials if success be not financial
ly attained, such protection should
cease. except as noted hereinunder;
third, that should the experiment
succeed, protection becomes necessary
and should be steadily abolished, pro-
viding that the home supply Of any
article absolutely necessary for ma
tional safely shall not thereby be en-
dangered.
Infant Industries Grown.
Mr.. Carnegie says further:
1--WE have already become by far
the greatest of all manufacturing ma
lions. Our "infant industries" of the
past have reached majority, and
speaking generally, are now quite
able to protect themselves. The pull
ing infant in the nurses arms thai
