THE HEALTH OF THE CITY.

Decrease in the Number of Deaths Last Week
Vital Statistics.
"The number of deaths during the past
week, ending on Saturday last. was 118, as COM
pared with 100 in the previous week." SAYS
Health Officer Hammett in his report for last
week. THE influenza still manifests its pres
ence by the death of five persons. Four of
these were Of several months standing and one
aggravated by old age. The mortality from
acute lung diseases gradually declines as the
winter weather recedes. and is now about at
the normal stage. Diseases Of the kidneys
caused the large number Of eleven deaths
during the week, as against five in the pre-
ceding period. Not a death from diphtheria
was reported, and but two from scarlet fever
and two from whooping cough.
with surprisingly clean streets and strict
attention to the removal of all collections of
unsanitary matter the general health of the
city is good. according to the official reports.
There is no sign of impending epidemic and
no immediate threat from any invasion of con-
tagious maladies.
''Out of the $50 emigrants who landed at

fever developed on March 2, there were 12S
cases of this fever reported as being under
ueOICdl treatment AT tnat city. VI these lZ6
cases ten had broken out among residents of
the city. The danger outside of New York city
is very slight one, arising from an incidental
development of the disease by some one
coming i'll who is already infected. Thus far
the disease has been kept within comfortable
limits. and the fear of its spread has subsidized
through the vigilance of health officers in all
parts of the country
The report shows: Number of deaths. 49,;
