President George Washburn of Robert College, Constantinople, who ts in New York in attendance on the ecumenical con- ference, says that force need not be used for the collection of the indemnity from Turkey. “I believe that we shall have the money in six weeks,” said he. “I would not stake my reputation on any certain time where the Turkish government or any individual 1,"" added Mr. Washburn, will pay eventually and no force be required to collect.

Says Remarkable Lot of Articles Removed From a Baltimorean’s Interior. The Baltimore Sun Saturday published a cut, reproduced from @ photograph taken a few days ago at Johns Hopkins Hospital, of various articles swallowed by Arthur Shutt, known as the “man with the junk-shop stomach.” Shutt, who Is twenty-two years old, and lives at 722 Colorado avenue, Ro- land Park, was admitted to the Johns Hop- kins Hospital on Tuesday, March 13, with some suspicion, owing to the extraordinary story he told. He sald he had been in the habit of chewing such light diet as tacks, nails, glass and metal chains, but owing to his peculiar powers as a magician had never been compelled to swallow them un- Ul a few days before hig admission. Like other exhibitors, Shutt was always attired in a coat with conveniently wide sleeves and collar. Into these he deposited his sup- posed metallic diet. On March 10 last, how- ever, he met his Waterloo. On that day he boasted to a number of medical students in @ West Baltimore street saloon of hig ostrich-like ability. The students suspected his apparel and proposed that he strip him- self of his garments. To their surprise he immediately stripped to the waist. They then jestingly laid a wager of a consider- able amount that he would not swallow the articles enumerated. Shutt was ambitious to win the wager and save his fame as a magician. so he swallowed in turn all the articles pictured. For the following three days Shutt suf- fered great pain, but not until March 13 did he apply for admissién to the Johns Hopkins Hospital. An operation was then decided upon. Prof. William 8. Halsted performed the operation, which was of a delicate nature, the stomach being cut open. It consumed two hours and a half, during which all of the forcign bodies were remo irom the man’s stomach. After the operation, owing to the tender state of his digestive organs, Shutt was d for many days on a liquid diet. This has now given way to more substantial food, but less heavy than his metallic dict. He is now almost wholly recovered and ex- pects to be discharged from the hospital in @ few weeks. The articles removed were: Your brass watch chains, with catches and stays. Twelve and a half feet of three-eighths- inch iron chain. ‘Twenty-five grams, or nearly an ounce, of ground glass.

FILIPINO SUPERSTITIONS SS Copyrighted, 1900, by Frank G. Carpenter. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. 3 MANILA, March 14, 1900. _ One of the serious problems which con- front the government here is the selection of a leper island and the segregation of the lepers. There are lepers scattered through- out the archipelago. In many places they mix With the rest of the people. They may be seen begging at the doors of the churches, and it is hard to tell whether they are not in the markets handling the vegetables and meats which we eat on our tables. There are, it is sald, 30,000 lepers in the Visayan Islands, and the number in the whole country must be upward of 50,- 000. Leprosy exists to an alarming extent in several of the provinces of Luzon, and Captain Lynch, one of the doctors of the health department, tells me that he saw several hundred cases during his stay in Negros. The Spaniards paid but little at- tention to the prevention of the disease. They had only two hospitals, one in Cebu and one in Manila. In Cebu the disease is known to be spreading and in Manila there are undoubtedly many lepers at large. A Visit to a Leper Hospital. I took a carriage this afternoon and drove out into the country to the leper hospital. It is about three miles from the center of Manila and not far from the outskirts of the elty. You go by thousands of the thatched huts of the laboring classes, each hut swarming with people, and at last come to a big White building which looks not un- like a penitentiary. It is surrounded by large grounds, and shut off from the road by a thick wail of stone. Entering the gate ts like going into a prison. You are in a long passage between high walls of stone, and far down, at the end of this you see the barred doors of the hospital itself. Come with me and Iet us take a trip through it. There is a native at the en- trance who looks ugly enough to be a ent himself. We ask for the lepers. » points across the court and tells us to enter. We do so, and within a few seconds are in the presence of two score horrid- leeking objects, who have run to the doors to meet us. » young, some old—all are lepers. is a boy, brown-faced, bright-eyed, s quick in his actions ¢ joyful in his laugh as your own boys home.

This part of the world seems to breed lepers. There are sald to be more than a million in India, China and Japan, and in this estimate half a million is assigned to Hindoostan. No accurate statistles hav been taken for China, for lepers are to be found In 2] the cities in the southern part of that empire. mix about with the rest of the people, and you see leper beg- gars everywhere. On many of the rivers they go about in hoats thrusting out bags attached to lon, at every boat and ship which goes by. blackmail the funeral procession tribute on the mourners, threatening to touch them {f they give alms. There is a leper asylum ‘anton which has 500 inmates. There both s live together, and many of them marry and have children. I saw no Chinese lepers in the Manila hospital, but there is a large Chinese popu- lation here, and without doubt some of the Chin are leper was known in several years be- fore the days of Confucius, and it is said that one of the disciples of that sage died of this dreadful disease. ually caused by » prevalent whe ple are overcrowded, dirty and poorly fed. A hot, moist climate, such as we have here, is conducive to it, and the government ig very effort to put the town in a nitary condition, The Health of Mantia. So far our soldiers have been very healthy here in Manila, and also in all parts of the Philippines. I have no doubt but that these tslands are among the most healthful of all tropical countries, and, for people who live well and take care of themselves there is but little danger. The heat Is no greater than that of the United States in the summer. The natives, however, have no health regulations and a house-to-house visitation which the sanitary officials are now mak- ing shows that the city is in a very bad condition. The death rate for the last six months of 1889 was about 41 per 1,000, estimating the population at 300,000, or, if estimated at 400,000, about 31 per 1,000. These figures are exceedingly high. Hong Kong, which is in the same latitude as Manila, and which has about the same climate, has a death rate only half as large, and {t'is next door to China, with all the plagues that that country so regularly produces. Here we had practically no plagues during the time above mentioned. The Black Plague. Within the past few weeks, however, there have been a number of cases of the black death or bubonic plague. This plague has broken out at several of the ports of Japan and China, and there have been a number of deaths from it here. I found it at Kobe, Japan, when I passed through on my way to the Philippines. All the passengers cen on there were ex- amined for evidences of the plague before they were permitted to come on board the ship, the captain of the steamer requiring a doctor's certificate from each. The black plague has, in the past, been very prevalent inj.Chin, especially in Can- ton and Hong Kong. It also exists in India, and there are now a large number of_cases in Bombay and Calcutta. So far nearly every one who has caught the black plague here has died. The dis- ease comes upon one without warning, in the shape of a fever which in a short time raises the temperature of the patient to 103 degrees and upward. There is no chill, but the patient has a severe headache and shows signs of stupor. After twelve hours the glands of the neck, the armpits, or the groin begin to swell and goon become as large as hens' eggs. In some cases the patient vomits blood, and within a few hours he dies. Some few recover, And if one can keep himself alive for six days after exposure he is probably safe, The plague kills rats as well as human ings. Dead rats are found in the drains in the infected portions of China, and the rats run from such placcs almost as fast as the men. Object to Cremation.

Otls has countermanded the order. When the plague was so bad in Canton many of the pall- bearers who were paid to carry the coffins to the graves were stricken with it, and when four men would go out for that pur- pese often but two would return. The Chinese here are very anxious to haye the of the deceased sent back to China. put them in immerse wooden coffin which are hermetically sealed by varnish- ing them again and again with a sort of a lacquer, but which are, nevertheless, unsafe in case of the plague. During the prev lence of the di nton there were 2 number of Chin ciations, men who clubbed tog sh coffins for the poor. In « coffins were more than sixty thov nished for plague patients. Tt @ that 50 per cent of the people of the Philippines are suffering from skin diseases, and, from the amount of scratch- ing I see going on, I judge that the figures are not overdrawn.

Then there is the dobe itch, which is so common that at least one-third of the foreigners have had it. This is supposed to be caused by a parasite which comes in the water in which the clothes are cleaned by the Fili- pino washwomen. It usually attacks the toes, the armpits and the parts of the body which perspire most profusely, causing a rash. It sets almost crazy, but it 1s Pasil not at ali dangerous. ‘The natives themselves pay but little at- tention to such di although they have numerous medicinal’ plants, and the mineral springs, hot and cold, which are found in different parts of the islands are very well patronized. The Smallpox. The most dangerous of all the skin dis- eases 1s, of course, the smallpox, which has lately broken out in a number of places. It exists along the line of the rail- way in Luzon, and at several of the porte, and is said to be spreading In Panay and Cebu. Several officers of the army have had St, but as yet, it has not affected the foreign to any extent. The spring months are the most dangerous times of the year for this disease. The weather is hot and dry, and the heat from noon until about 4 p.m. is often oppressive. I called at the health department to- day and made some inquiries of the doc- tors. They are not alarmed at the situa- tion, but say that they are vaccinating as many people as possible. A wholesale vac- cination of all the people would be a good thing if it could be carried out. It must be remembered, however, that there are 8,000,- 0) of them and that at least 7,000,000, T should say, need such treatment, Practi- cally no vaccination had been attempted among the lower clasees up to the time of our taking possession of the islands. The people do not look upon smallpox as we do. They ame like the Chinese in that many of them pay no more attention to it than they do to a bad cold. They do not care to be vaccinated, and the Chinese es- pecially object to having their arms scratched up by the doctors. A Carabao Vaccine Farm. Nevertheless, the doctors are making many vaccinations. They have established a vaccine fdtm here at which they use young carabaos, or water buffaloes, to fur- nish the virus, instead of cows, as with us. Ten thousand points so treated were sent out in response to one order yesterday and carabao vaccine is being distributed through all the army posts. I went out to the vaccine farm this morning and watched the mode of treating the animals, A cara- bao calf about a year old was lying strap- ped down upon a table as I entered the op- erating hall. The head and three legs of the beast were strapped to the table. The animal lay upon {ts side, its head and three legs so fastened that it could not move; and its fourth leg, one of the hind ones, so tied to a post that the belly was plainly ex- posed. The hair had been shaved from this part of the body, and it was upon it that the vaccination wounds were being made. The skin of a carabao is of a delicate pink, and that of a calf has the peachy tint of a maiden's cheek. It was upon this tinted background that the scratching was done, evident by a dozen bloody spots which could be seen here and there upon it. ‘A native Filipino doctor was performing the work of inoculation, the poor carabao now and then uttering a cry which was al- most human as the lance cut through his hide. The doctor told me that the scab formed very quickly and that a large num- ber of points can be dipped in one scab. The carabaos are thoroughly examined to see that they are healthy before they are vaccinated. Their sores last but a short time, and within a week or so they are as well as ever. Some Filipino Superstitions. One trouble about vaccinating both Fili- pinos and Chinese lies in their superstitions. Many of the Filipinos are fatalists. They think they are fated to die or get well, and if so vaccination will not help them. One belief is that cholera is brought by a black dog who runs through the streets with the disease following behind him. They believe in charms and in prayers as preventatives NN. corsers HAVE “NEWMAN'S PATENT” CORK STEEL PROTECTOR. onty P Over 100 different styles. Can fit any shape.

Some years ago cholera mor- bus was common, and some of the friars advised the people to pray to St. Roque The disease kept on for some time, but when it stopped that saint got the credit for it. The Filipinos have numerous shrines scat- tered over the country which are supposed to be especially holy. One {s at Anti Polo not far from Manila. It is frequented b thousands of pilgrims in the month of Mz and it is sald that the village there relies almost entirely upon such pilgrims for {ts living. It is a town of about 4,000 people. There is a famous shrine in the Island of Cebu whose patron is known as the Holy Child of Cebu. This child fs an ebony image of Jesus which is said to hav found on th> seashore more than 300 ago by one of the Spanish soldiers. It was taken by the Augustine order of friars and a church was built for it. This church was burned, but the image was saved and another was erected, in which it is still kept. The image is about fifteen Inch2s high and fs loaded with silver trinkets. It is carrled about in a procession on certain days of the year. There are plenty of relics of saints in the churches here in Manila, and scattered over the Philippines are virgins, saints and relics which are supposed to have special virtues in the healing of the bodies and the saving of souls. I find the people here v2ry religious; every woman, and almost every man, Wears a scapular. Some of the people have what ts called “Angting-angting,” charms of pa- per, silver or ivory, upon their breasts un- der their clothes. These are drawings of the saints and special words or texts which are supposed to not only ward off disease, but to prevent the wearer being Killed in battle. Many have been found upon the bodies of th3 Filipinos killed by our sol- diers, the charms having for some reason failed to protect the wearers from our Krag-Jorgensen bullets. FRA G.

Mayor Harrison issued an appeal Satur- day to the citizens of Chicago to use their influence in settling the labor troubles there, which involve practically every branch of industry. The city administra- tion, he says, has done all in its power to bring about a settlement by arbitration, but has failed. Regarding the refusal of the contractors’ association to appear be- fore the arbitration board appointed by the city council, the mayor expresses the belief that the time has come for the conservative contractors to withdraw from the con- tractors’ council. Mayor Harrison also took further steps for the suppression of labor riots and the protection of non-union workmen ergaged on buildings in various parts of the city. ——_+ e+ ____ Exports to Porto Rico.
