YELLOW-FEVER IN CUBA.
IL H. Thought That II VIII soon Be

come Epidemic.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., June 5.-The
most alarming report from Cuba. with
respect to yellow-fever, comes from sagua
Ia Grande where, the Marine Hospital
Service is advised by its last report there
are fOrty-one cases and four deaths. 1t
Is expected that within a very short time
the fever will become epidemic. and If IL
does not become yirulent In the city Of
Habana all previous experience Will be
set aside The department has, how
ever. received no adyices 10 the effect
that cholera has appeared anywhere on
the island.
The war and its relation to the SAINT
tary condition Of Cuba was referred TO
in the last annual report Of Surgeon-Gene-
raj Wyman, and the statements then
made will represent the conditions Of
this summer. only in more aggravated
form. on this subject. Surgeon-General
Wyman then said that the insurrection
had interfored 10 a great extent with the
transmission of exact information from
the disturbed provinces, and the normal
condition of health in the island had
been largely modified by the presence
of a great body OF nOn-immune Spanish
soldiers. These persons have taken the
disease, and added 10 the natural num-

island.
The difficulties experienced last summer
will be met with again this year Ac-
curate knowledge as to the number Of
troops stricken with the disease IS denied
by the Spanish Government. The re-
ports from Habana last year showed a
total OF 1888 cases. and a mortality Of 80
per cent
This summer special precautions will be
taken TO prevent the introduction from
cuba into the United States Of yellow
fever. Each OF the four reyenue-cutters
patrolling the Florida coast carries sani-
tary inspectors TO intercept fishing smacks
and other vessels coming directly from
cuba. with no intent 10 enter legally
any port OF entry. and also for the pur-
pose OF intercepting any returning fill
clustering expedition or refugees seeking
20 land surrepttiousy. Sanitary inspec-
tors. also, either have been. or Will be,
stationed permanently In Habana anf
Santiago and such inspectors will be
sent 10 every seaport OF Cuba to report
10 the Marine Hospital S rvice as 10 the
prevalence OF yellow-fever.

Currency.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Gold and silver make up but n small
part OF the currency OF this country.
The bulk OF the currency consists OF
bank-notes. and United States notes. god
and silver notes. and Treasury-notes.
The amount Of these notes depends upon
the action OF the General Government
in large measure. Expansion or con-
traction OF the currency OF the country
TO answer the requirements Of any class
OF its citizens 20 the detriment OF the
masses is a curse. and by no means con-
tributes to the general welfare" No
gold coin should be sent from the mint
under the denomination OF $40, and all

silver. The tax on State banks should
be removed. and the government required

a basis for the State banks. A plank in

NEW AMERICAN RECORD.
This time, II correct. establishes new

time was 20l0 by Yale, at New London.
There Is a serious discrepancy somewhere
In the official time. as given IN the reie-

a half seconds are generally allotted 20 a
length. and Cornell defeated Harvard by
fully four lengths or roughly speaking
fourteen seconds. whereas the difference

three seconds, or say three quarters or r

SMITH HAD A PREMONITION
That the Steamer San Benit0 Would be
Wrecked
More Accurately. He Was Afraid of the
Vessel Because She Was Badly
Built and Clumsily Loaded.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 24.-Captair
Smith of the steamer San Benito. is said
by friends here to have felt premoni-
ton that his vessel would some day be
wrecked on the coast. one of the cap
tain's best friends here is l.. G. Jackson,
chief clerk of the city controllers office,
who is quoted as saying: II know he had
dread of just what happened to him.
and not once but on numerous occasions
he talked OF having feeling of disquiet
and fear of his vessel being wrecked"
THE truth is he feared the San Be
nito. He has explained to me that she
was so long and slender that when her
ordinary winter cargo of coal was on
board she was dangerous. He said that
about 4500 tons of coal would be put on
board divided into two, one at each end
of the vessel. leaving nothing but the
weight of her machinery to balance the
ship. He feared that in rough weather
she would begin pounding the waves up
and down, and that the sheer weight at
the ends of the vessel would break her
in two and the ship and crew would go
to the bottom.
81 remember we'll when the Keweeaw
was supposed to have foundered al sea,
Captain Smith remarked that sooner or
later he and his ship would meet with a
similar fate and then at that time he
seemed to be impressed with this idea" ="

General Barrett Will Make an Effort to
Secure Another Boat for the Naval
Battalion's Use.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 24.-The
leading officers of the National guard
have about settled upon the sum they
will ask the Legislature to appropriate
for the state soldiery for the next two
years At a conference between Gen
eral James, Adjutant General Barrett
and Colonel Currier yesterday ii was &C.
cided that the entire guard needs ne"
uniforms, oVercoats and blankets.
For encampment purposes for the
next two years, whether the encamp-
ment be division, brigade or regimental,
SIS. 900 is wanted. This is figured on Il
basis of $3 per year man for transpor-
tation. on an estimate of 4000 men going
into camp. The average expenses CT
each man IL day is put at 70 cents.
The medical arm of the service may
at last be put into fair condition, as
$4,000 will be asked for ambulances, hos
pital outfits and other equipments for
each regiment. Besides this there VIII
be the general statutory appropriation
to run the guard.
Adjutant General Barrett will leave
this morning for Washington. He VIII
confer with the head of the war depart
ment to get an exchange of arms and
eouipments as well as to secure anothsr
boat for the naval battalion.
