WELL RECEIVED BY CUBANS.
Immig grafton Committee Returns - Pre-
cautions Against Cholera.

cautions Against Cholera.
ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 4.-The joint immi-
grafton committee passed through here
yesterday en- route to Washington. Speak
ing of their work, Chairman Stump, of
the House committee, said the committee
was well received by the Cuban authori-
ties, who did everything In their power to
assist il.
Three noted physicians were appointed
to show the committee about the city OF
Havana and point out the sanitary pre-
cautions taken by the Cuban authorities.
The committee was satisfied and will
report that great care Is being exercised
on the island to exclude disease and to
provide means for controlling it should 1t
come.
A good deal of migration between Key
West and Cuba was found, mainly con-
America and then IN Cuban territory, as
the state OF the markets and demand for
their service may suggest.
The committee will report that there Is
little, IL any, European immigration into
the United States via Cuba. The people
were willing to submit to the exclusion of
vessels in the event Of absolute need, but
not otherwise.
The impression left by Mr.. Stump's re-
marks was that the committee would not
recommend the exclusion of ships unless
disease should break out, or fresh occasion
be found for alarm, as the precautions be-
ing taken In Cuba and at Florida ports
are thought to be sufficient. The efficien-
cy Of the American agent at Havana and
the health officers stationed at Tampa,
Key West, etc, Is viewed with satisfaction
by the committee.
The Florida sanitary law, under which
the state board of health was established,
was carefully examined and produced Q
favorable impression.
