Cattle Dying in Philippines.

Manila. p l.. Sept 7.-Rinderpest,
cattle scourge common in the trop-
les. has assumed the proportions of a
serious epidemic in the Philippines,
causing the deaths Of hundreds of
work Misunderstanding and cattle
weekly. Governor General Harrison
has called upon every department of
the insular government to cooperate
in checking the disease. which is a
difficult matter because there are prac-
tically no fences in the Philippine
country. II has been decided TO es-
tahlish a laboratory for the manufac-
;ure OF anti-rinderpest serum, increase
the force of veterinaries and build
more immunization stations.
The constabulary troops will be
concentrated in one province at a
time and thus seek to control the epi.
demic. In 1857 the worst of the cpl
demic occurred. and il was estimated
that 90 per cent Of the animals on
the islands died In 1901 the disease
billed 25 per cent Of the animals
This year the disease thus far has
claimed only about siN-tenths Of one
per cent
