Mr. Ruby finds that a combination was formed between proapec- tive bldders and that a fund was raised to pay certaln other prospective bidders to refrain from bidding upon the landa. That instead of implicating the register and recelver of theO'Nelll land office with the sale, as alieged In one of two populist papers In Nebraska, Inspector Ruby acquits them of any complicity whatever and en- dorses the recommendation of the register and receiver of the O'Neill land office that the sale be set aside, in view of the vol- lusion, which on the face of the returns is apparent. Acting Secretary Rysn of the Interior department, atter a review of spector Ruby’s report, immediately ordered that & public hearing be granted those persons who were unable to bid at the sale d directed that the register and receiver should hold an open court for the purpose of inquiring into the matter and that said register and receiver should be empowered to set a time and piace for such public hearing aund that persons interested in the sale should have the right to be represented by attorney. This letter wemt to the O'Nelll land office today. In view of Inspector Ruby's report it is sald chat there will be Inter- esting proceedings at O'Nefll when the in- quiry as to those oomnmected with the re- cent sale of Omala lands is begun. The register and recelver of the O'Nelll office hre ordered to also notify the general land office when the hearing is to take place.

WABHINGTON, Aug. 7.—~Surgeon Gen- eral Forw today received a report from Lieutenant Colonel P. F. Harvey, chiet surgeon of the division of the Philippines, glving a detalled account of the heaith of the troops in those islands for the monmth ended June 15 last. The report shows a considerabje Increase in percentage of sick, as compared with the prévious month. In south Philippines sickness has increased in qu station hospital and depar ment hospital, but, the report say: reason for this cannot be indicated at this time. Cholera has attacked two officers, wixty- two Americans and one native soldfer. Most of these cases veourred In Laguna . The cause In the majority % has been the drinking of in- , and a few cases were due to fobd, contaminated either by handiing or by fifes. In Samar and Leyte some cases are ro- ported, but the disease has mot - spread widely. In the Camarines the epidemic seems to have been stamped out, but In Laguna and Batangas and adjacent parts of the province of Tayabas cholera has spread in virulent epldemic form, many cases having occurred without report. Outside of Mantla a total of 5.967 cases have beem reported, with 4,200 deathe. In the city there have been 1,350 cases, with 1,100 deaths. Colonel Harvey says that the additional demand upon medical off- cers has been met in the most satisfactory manner. The report ssys the people In the small towns aré very lgnorant. They consider cholgra a visitation of providence and cannot be induced to take proper pre- cautionary measures. During the month covered by the report the total sick ‘was 2,265, being 7 per cent of the command present, 31,050, and during the same period there were seventy-nine deaths, including thirty-seven cholera and one killed in action.
