FEAR IN PHILIPPINES.

iie Deaths In the
lslands.

washington, Oct. s.--During the
past seven years Of American occupa-
tion Of the Philippines there have been
226 cases Of cholera among Americans,
ana lls deaths In the entire archi-
pelago. This Information comes from
the governor general Of the Islands,
who had the figures compiled at the
request OF Secretary Wright. The
number Of cases Is regarded BY the
officials as relatively very small and
they think the figures presented ought
to allay the mot unnatural fear on the
part OF families Of officers and men Of
the battleship feet Of any danger TO
which they may be exposed during
their visit to Manila n
There were two deaths from Asiatic
cholera among the troops in the Philip
pines reported in the last mortuary
list received from General Weston.
They were those Of William H. Cutler,
company F, Twenty-ninth infantry, on
September "a and Howard Hare, COM
pany /, Ninth infantry, on September
II.
The report Of the number of cases
and deaths of Americans, It is pointed
out, includes American soldiers to the
number of from 10000 to $4,000, who
have been in the islands at all times.
American school teachers scattered
throughout the islands, and all classes
of employees, including custom house
inspectors, health inspectors and POI
licemen, whose duties have particular
ly exposed them to the disease.

BLOCKS BUCKLlNG
Dampness Makes Repairs to Wooden Pavement Neces-
 sary Already,
CITY ENGINEER EXPLAINS
sand Was Not Put Over the Bloeks Soon Enough-Trouble Not
 Serious.

There has been considerable dis cussion over the defect which has all ready been found in the new pave ment in State street, There were several persons who suggested, before the pavement was put down, that II would be subject to the objection that 1t might buckle, This, it appears, Is exactly what has happened to the first set of wood blocks which were put down in this city. City Engineer Kelly explained yesterday that the defect was found only in the block between Chapel and Court streets, on the east side, and that 1t was believed to be due not to the nature of the pavement so much as to the fact that tho sand had not been put down over the blocks soon enough on this section and consequently water got in and swelled the pavement, SO that the wood blocks when laid down soon buckled The defective part of the pavement has been taken out and re- placed and the city engineer says that the trouble is not serious and the street will probably prove all right now.
