SOLDIERS STILL ILL.
They Drank the Alcohol Obtained for
Use in Lamps.

Manila. Dec. 22.-Seventeen soldiers
of the Eighteenth infantry, stationed al
Camp Keithley. Mindanao, are still i'll
as the result of drinking some of the
poisonous alcohol that killed 10 of their
comrades on December Is. The alcohol
was procured from the post exchange
by some of the soldiers, who pretended
that they wanted it for the lamps with
which they hunted deer at night.
Owing to the restoration of peaceful
conditions in the neighborhood after
long disturbances, hunting leaves have
been granted frequently of late and the
request was readily granted. A secret
attempt was made to dilute the alcohol
and later a large number of the SOL
diers drank the poisonous liquor with
terrible results.
