"Our total casualties in the battle of Kin chow and Nanshan on the 26th of May were 4,204; whereof 749 dead, including 33 officers, and 3.455 wounded, including 100 officers. There were no casualties among Generals."
PORT ARTHUR,
The following telegram is printed in the
Cablenews:
London, May 1-it is the belief in court and diplomatic cucles in Iurope that the fall of Port Arthur, which is thought to be a matter of a few weeks, will terminate the war, as if will give Japan a base upon the railroad from which to operate against Kuropatkin and ensure a tedious and exhausting struggle.

In view of the favourable re- port issued on this treatment by Dr. Thomson, † would like to point out that, though I sug- gested this treatment to you, the real credit for introducing this drug in such large doses be, longs to Dr. A. Wiglesworth, of Liverpool.
Phthisis. 60 cases were under treat ment with 15 deaths. Of these, to were Europeans, 14 Indians, 17 Chinese, 4 Philipinos, and 5 Japanese. This disease is very prevalent here due no doubt to a variety of causes which would come under the heading of low vitality and bad hygienic conditions. Both Indians and Chinese suffer more severely from malaria than de Europeans, and one is inclined to suggest this latter ailment as a predisposing cause. it is noticeable that February and April are the worst months, and that the number of cases accurring in the winter are double the number of those occurring in the summer.

FREIGHT.
Writing under to-day's date, Messrs. Lanke and Rogge state: —
The freight market has continued to rule very quiet during the period under review and chartering business has been restricted to a rather small compass. The demand for too- nage in all directions has slackened off com. siderably and rates of freight are following a downward tendency. It is, however, quite an open question, whether the now existing bult will prove of long duration, as present times. are undeniably abnormal ones which may be changed at any moment in the event of any thing of importance happening in the political situation up North. On the other hand it may not be amiss to draw attention to the fact that, apart from large colliers continually arriving from Cardiff and Austrahan ports-practically
rate of mortality was lower amongst the Euro give two extra privale wards which are also died. Three were cases of multiple abscesses, all of which will, however, have to find ther
pean but higher amongst the fadians than in the previous year.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.
There is no doubt that the question of con- structing an entirely new hospital, arranged in accordance with the best modern practice, will have to be seriously considered in the near future. The present buildings are old and cost a considerable sum of money yearly in repairs. Amongst our requirements are:-(0) In- creased office and store accommodation. (2.) A hospital laundry. (3) Increased accommo dation for private patients. (4) An operating theatre detached from the hospital proper but connected with it by a covered passage. In my reports as superintendent of the hospital for the years 1892 and 1893 and later, I have referred to this, and I would again suggest the reserving of a site for a new hospital.
LUNATIC ASYLUMS.
As Dr. Laing's report shows there were 35 more admissions than in the previous year, causing considerable evercrowding. Should this continue the question of enlarging the pre- sent Asylum, or building an entirely new one, will have to be seriously considered.
MATERNITY HOSPITAL..
In all there were 31 Europeans and 37 Asiatics, admitted as against 29 Europeans, one Indian, and 37 Chinese in 1902,

needed as the few there are full most of the year. The total number of admissions was 2,794 as against 3,108 in 1992. The decrease is partly due to fewer cases of dengue and to the fact that, owing to repairs, C. Block has been
closed for the last two months thus depriving
us of 28 bets. The total number of out patients was 11,911 as against 11,375 in 1902, The rate of mortality for the year was 508 per cent, as against 4.5 in 1902. The average daily number of sick was 99.09 as against 111.38 in

of the disease must have been either vaciles
or the ringformed non pigmented malaria. The epidemic moreover is very unlike a disease conveyed by mosquitoes.
Malarial Fever-346 cases have been under treatment as against 349 in 1902, and 787 in. 1901. There were only two deaths due directly
to the disease.
The influence of nervous' shock, as seen in the association of injuries with malaria, is interesting; and needless to say all debilitating causes easily bring out an attack in a patient previously subject to the disease. The Mater. uity Hospital cases also exemplify this for most of the patients admitted have previously had malaria and 4.41 per cent. had an attack shortly of the birth of the child.
