No Chance on Hofd-Up.

The secrecy being maintained by the
Commissioners and Health Officer Wood
ward is for the purpose, it is understood,
OF taking no chances on the leper being
held UP by officials in any state through
which he passes. Should any such delay
occur it would cause considerable en-
barrassment, as rather close transporta-
tion connections have been arranged
for the journey.
The public health and marine hospital
service, it was announced today. con-
sented TO the plans of the Commission
ers for deporting Palabay. Should the
Filipino be held up by any state official
it would be an easy matter to regain his
custody, but in the meantime the steamer
on which it is probable he is to be sent
TO the Philippines would have sailed.
Such contingency is what the Commits
sloners desire to avoid.
So anxious were District officials to
maintain the utmost secrecy in the mat
ter that the guards who have been sta
toned at the leper's quarters on the
Eastern branch We're still on duty to-
day. The routine duties of the guards
have been performed as zeaIously as

Accleto Palabay, Filipino, No
Longer In District.
WHEREABOUTS KEPT QUIET
May Be on Way to His Home, How
ever, Through Pacific Coast Port.
LEFT HERE LAST SATURDAY
Commissioner Rudolph Promises to
Tell at End Of One Week Where
Young Man Has Gone.

Where is Accleto Palabay. Filipino
1eper, late guest Of the District In the
little house on the Eastern branch that
John Early occupied?
The District Commissioners today admit
ted that they had aided Palabay to shake
the dust of Washington from his feet.
They suggested that he might be In New
York, Massachusetts,, Louisiana or on his
way to the Philippines. Other than this
they refuse to throw any light on his
whereabouts.
1t is pretty safe bet that the erstwhile
guest of the District is in a box car speed
ing across the continent for Pacific coast
port. This is the plan that the Commits
sioners had under consideration several
weeks ago, when they were thinking
about means OF transportating the leper
from Washington to his Philippine home.
Commissioner Rudolph this morning
stated that he would make public Satur-
day where Palabay has been sent. As 1t
will be exactly one week Saturday from
the time the leper left, he will have had
time to reach Seattle or some other Pa
cific coast port and take a steamer for his
faraway island home. This fact sre-
sponsible for the belief that he is being
deported to the Philippines.
Arrangements Secretly Made.
So quietly were arrangements made for
Palabay's departure that but one official
of the health department knew what was
going on. That official was DR.. William
c. Woodward, the health officer
Late Friday afternoon Commissioner
Rudolph called at the Eastern branch
house to see that all arrangements had
been perfected. and at 5 o'clock Saturday
morning the Districts involuntary guest
was whisked out of town.
The president of the board OF Com
missioners was plainly upset when he
learned that the news of Palabays de-
pOrtation had leaked out. He refused
to discuss the matter, stating that all
the facts will be made public Saturday.
There are four places Palabay could
have been sent" said Commissioner
Rudolph, land you will have to guess
which was selected. They are New
York. where John Early was treated
in the Skin and Cancer Hospital;
Massachusetts. Louisiana and the
Philippines.
1T would appear to be better busi-
ness policy" commented the Commits
sfoner. Ito send him the shortest dis
tance. thus mourning the least cost to
the District"
In spite OF this comment by the
commissioners. no one is taking seri-
ously the probability of the leper hav-
ing been sent to New York. Massachu-
settS or louisiana had he been de-
have reached his destination before
this, and there would be no reason for
the Commissioner waiting a week to
make the facts in the case public

In with this suggestion, and we

At the terminus of the railway
we had a wonderful sight of the
whole town below and all the har-
Dor. There was also a beautiful
park containing many kinds of
palms and other sami-tropical.

other gentlemen. it was manag-

miles in aOut twbenty-five min

was about II feet wide and along
the whole road were houses and
stores. We then took a tour of
inspection of the residential dis
trict. The streets were from I
to II feet wide on either side
were houses and stores with little
gardens attached. We saw into
a largenumber of houses the
a large number of houses the

the strts, and in the many houses
we only saw one that was dirty.
The houses, streets, yards and
gardens were all cream, the peO-
pie also. Everything is clean.
They charge all kinds of prices
to travellers. We paid seventy
five cents for our lunch and ten
cents for a glass of wine. Speak

from the mountains the guides
would stop at every wine shop
and ask us to treat them to wine.

To show the cupidity of the peO-

round trip on the mountain tour
Myself and two gentlemen pur-
chased three tickets, each ticket
had four coupons one for the
bullock drive up the first part
of the mountain, one for the rail-
way, one for a lunch at the top,
and for the tobOggOn ride down.
We walked up to the railway

four days we have not sen a YES

last night and the dancing was
kept up to a late hour and all
seemed to enjoy themselves very
much. The night was a bright
starry one, but with a strong
head wind.
Friday, February 4th. At $50
my room mate informed me that
land was in sight. As soon as |
could dress | was up on deck,
and just as | reached there |
saw at a distance of three or
four miles a long ridge of land
and at one point way up in the
clouds a rounded top Of a noun
tain they say is 1920 feet above
the sea. The shores and up the
slope of the ridge were here and
there dotted with white houses
with divided fields behind them.
In all shapes and angles, with
a sort Of wall between them.
These islands are called Azores.
some of them are from 2 to 40
miles long and from ) TO II
miles wide. All the houses are
painted white, a few red with
facngS around the door and win
dOws, with white churches with
tall spires. There were windmlls
painted red and white, here and
there among the houses.
These islands grow tobacco and
oranges. Much wine is made here
and is called MADEIRA wine very
strong and rich. | do not know
what kind of material the houses
are built Of, but it looks like
stone. However, all looked beau
tlful to the eye, after so many
days looking at the water alone.
AT one point there seemed to be
a large town about a mile long
with many churches and large
buildings. All their harbors
seemed to be open to the sea.
During the evening in the dark
We passed st. Michael island, the
largest of the Azores, 40 miles
long and about IA miles wide.
We had a warm and soft air. On
going on deck after breakfast
this morning l saw what |
thought at first to be a large
coarse sack in the water, but to
my surprise on looking closer at
it, discovered that it was a living
creature, a turtle, in fact about
Is inches or Two feet long and
about II inches broad, of a
straw color, and there is was
swimming in all its glory, the
first living thing l had seen this
trip in this great ocean.

mountains probably 5000 feet
high, tapering toward the east.
As We approached we saw hun
dreds of small white houses with
red tiled roofs. There were sew
eral small towns in little cleftS

When we reached the city of Tux

entertained by a lot Of men and

they would yell at us, who were
about forty feet above them, to
throw a coin into the sea, and
then they would dive with great
rapidity and catch it, it was
marvellous to see how rapidly
they would get the coin, they
kept that up as long as they
could get any one to throw a coin
in the water. All of us went
ashore in steam launches. When
We landed at the landing place
We started to 60 up town, of
course it is all up and up. We
saw a lot of bullock sledgeS, the
Caro-" covered and two uphOl-
stored seats for hire, and even be-
fore you see these you see boys
and girls coming up to you hold
ing out their hands for pennies
This Is kept up everywhere thru
the town and up the noun
lain roads. There is also a
small street car drawn by three
horses and holding about eight
persons. This takes you up
about a mile to the mountain
railway station. We, however,
walked up so that we might see
the stores and the people. Al
though it was Sunday all the
stores were open. They had all
sorts of goods for sale outside,
and it appeared to me that ev-
eryOne sold wine by the bottle or
glass. There was a great amount
of embroidery hanging outside,
and fancy wicker work. The
store keeper or his men would
be outside to stop you and in
vlte YOU inside to buy. After we
reached the station we took the
train for the mountain heights.
The train is composed of two
open cars and an engine to shove
us up, with the help of a center
cog rail. All along the road were
villas, every quarter of an acre
whit concrete walls and tiled
roofs, the land covered with su-
gar cane, house and trees with
vines, oranges, lemons and the
dividing stone or concrete fences
covered with flowers, and over
the caves would be vessels for
vines. Every inch of ground is
utilized in some form or other,
every place is terraced in some
shap or other and that is cult
waited; every spring, creek or 9th
er source for water supply is
caught and conveyed into the
pools and passed from one garden
to the other. The houses with
their balconies look beautiful. |

We left the New York wharf

way he left the ship to get into
