no conflict between the Boards of Educa-
ton and Health, and that conference
should be held and some understanding
arrived at.
DR.. Hart replied that the Board of
Health was not fighting the Board of Edu-
cation, but was. merely trying to stamp
out the disease.
'Ten cases were reported yesterday"
he said, five of them from the vicinity of
these schools, and two from the same
vicinity this morning. 1t is time we were
making some progress in the fight against
the disease"
The Mayor wanted to know whether it
was not possible to disinfect the schools
while the work of repairing was going on.
and on being told by DIR. Williamson that
such plan was not feasible said that in
that case the schools ought to be closed.
DIR. Fitzgibbon wanied some action taken
toward forcing the destruction OF the bed
clothing of those who had been afflicted
with the disease. He said that in many
cases people sold or gave away the bed
clothing ands that contagiS was spread
in that way.
No action was taken and the board adj
journed until the 9Th. though meeting
will probably be called in the meantime.
After the meeting it was learned that
Father Brennan had opened the st. Fran
els School and torn down the diphtheria
placards in defiance of the board, and the
health officer ordered that warrant be
sworn out for his arrest.

they are in deplorable condition. San
Francisco pays $1,000, 600 a. year for her

right return for the money. l am glad
this question has come up in this shape.
as the Board of Health wants to. know just
where it Is at and how much power it has
in the enforcement of sanitary regula-
tions.
s,Dr. Clinton takes upon himself to
criticize the action of this board and states
that of the eighty. cases of diphtheria
reported during the past two months only
a small percentage was really diphtheria.
He thus questions the diagnostic abilities
of the physicians who reported those
cases, when he himself knows nothing
about them.
Health Officer Lovelace says the or
ders of the Board of Health will be car
ried out to the letter and the. school,
houses of the City put in such condition
that they will not breed q pestilence.
There is diphtheria in the Mission, and
the new cases coming in every day proves
that the contagion is spreading. The
Board of Education was long ago notified
that the buildings wereoin need OF repairs,
but it did not heed the warning"

FATHER BRENNAN's CASE.
A Warrant Issued for the Priest for
Violating a Health Ordinance.

A Warrant Issued for the Priest for
Violating a Health Ordinance.
There was much excitement in and
about the st. Francis school when the
children assembled at the instance OF
Father Brennan. He had assured the
children the day previous that the school
would open its doors as usual. They
were therefore dismayed on their arrival
to be greeted with closed doors and the
formidable sight of six deputies from tn
Health Office guarding that entrance.
There was nothing for Father Brennan
to do but to come to an amic able agree
ment with those deputies, which he finally
did with some conditions He agreed not
to open the school and sent the $50 girls
across the street to the Notre Dame Con-
vent, where the Sister Superior took them
in charge. The boys were marched into
the old st. Francis Church and then
Father Brennan proceeded downtown to
consult his attorney. When he returned
he sent word to the Sister Superior to send
the children from the convent and the
girls were soon gathered with the boys in
the old church.
The next move was made under some
difficulties. TO march the children from
the rear OF the church to the school was
not such an easy task. Two deputies b ad
remained to guard the school, but their
efforts to restrain the children were un-
successful and the pupils were finally as
sem bled in the schoolrooms.
Father Brennan insists that he is iusti-
he'd ID allowing his school to remain open
and declares that the opposition of the
Board of Health is the result of the preiu-
oice felt toward the parochial schools
Yesterday afternoon Inspector Tobin
swore TO complaint against Father
Brennan for violating ordinance 1901 in
tearing down the notices sted by the
Board OF Health. At late hour two dep
uties called at the parochiaI residence and
served the warrant for the arrest of the
clergyman. Accompanying the warrant
was release on his own recognlzance
signed by Judge Campbell, and the father
was notified to appear in that court this
morning.

disagree ing.
'1n my practice in the infested dis
! trict," said DIR. Clinton, II have nothing
| to warrant such arbitrary measures. such
| as the CLOSING OF the schools and frighten-
| ing the parents OF the pupils. Many
| cases are reported as diphtheria that are
not that disease at all. / remember eight
years ago when l was a member of the
Board of Health we had smallpox
scare. A lot of those cases were reported
and they were only chicken-pox and some
other skin eruption and yet they were
mistaken for smallpox by physicians
quite as eminent as the gentlemen of the
present Health Board.
"Now, let me say that have the most
friendly feeling for the members of the
board. l think it is the best health BODY
the City has ever had, but l think it is
over-zealous. A diphtheria epidemic did
not exist when they announced it before,
and it does not exist now.
when the Board of Education, by or
der of the Board of Health. planks the
schoolyard and puts the vaults in sanitary
condition, the latter body has no right to
order the vaults taken out and replaced by
new ones costing large sum of money.
'"It exceeds its powers when it says that
only certain kind OF plum ping shall be
used. All that is expected of anv citizen
is to keep his premises in good sanitary
condition, and that can be done without
using a particular style of plum bing,
whether the Board of Health fayors it or
not. On second thought, it is passing
strange that. the Board of Health is
anxious to get lot OF plum bing done at
this juncture. 1 wonder who is the
plumber?
REGARDING the vaults, possibly the open
ones are even better than the closed ones
Open vaults may be flushed often and ex-
amined daily. Those in the condemned
schools are properly supplied with traps
and no sewer gas gets into the schools.
When the yards are planked and the vaults
flushed the schools are in sanitary con-
dition, the Board of Health to the con-

WEYLER'S POLICY
OF DETERMINATION
But the Cuban Army Has
Been Strengthened by
Supplies.
Insurgents Now Control at Least
Three Fourths of the Troubled
Island.
Havana May Be Besieged and Cap
tured the Same as Smaller
Places.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1.-Senor
Gonzales Quesada, who represents the
Cuban Junta in Washington, was inter-
viewed to-day regarding the situation Of
affairs in Cuba He asserts that General
Weyler has entered upon policy of ex-
termination, and that he is pursuing this
course in compliance with his instructions
from Spain.
1.-THE same course" he said 'has been
pursued in the Philippine Islands, as
scores of reputable English witnesses have
testified. In the Philippine Islands all
the tortures of the Inquisition have been
brought into requisition, and the proof is
positive that sixty revolutionists were put
IN the Black Hole in Manila and asphyxi-
ated."
Speaking of the military situation in
the island, Senior Quesada explained that
the Cuban army had been strengthened
and made ready for an active winter cam-s
pagn by the landing OF 1900 rifles and
several pieces OF artillery. as well as big
supply of ammunition and medical stores.
The insurgents now number $1,000 men,
nd this mum Der will be doubled as soon
4 the proper arms can be supplied them.
lie denies the stories of sickness among
the insurgents, and explains that they are
thoroughly acclimated and determined to
continue the fight indefinitely. Food
supplies .are also plentiful, and even
Maceo, who occupies the least favorable
province. that of Pinar del Rio, has cattle
enough to last his forces two years.
"Three-fourths of the island" Senor
Qaesada continued, lis in the hands of
the Cubans under the control of the
civil government. In the provinces of
Santiago de Cuba and Port au Prince the
Spanish hold but five or six inland towns
and they are heavily garrisoned. Some of
these towns are now being besieged by the
Cubans, the last one taken by the
patriot forces being Guairamo. General
Calixto Garcia took this town after
twelve days siege. There were sixteen
forts protecting the town and one by one
they were disabled by our artillery and
abandoned by their Spanish garrisons,
who took refuge and barricaded them
selves in large stone church in the CEN
ter OF the town. General Garcia ordered
twelve-pounder and six-pounder guns to
be used against the massive old building.
1.-THE Spanish sent messages to Caste
llanos for re-enforcements, but were COM
PEELED to surrender before he arrived.
One captain, four lieuteuants, twenty-five
subaltern officers and nearly 300 privates
surrendered Weyler's policy of shooting
prisoners was not carried out by General
Garcia. who sent nineteen wounded to the
