DIR. DOTY RETURNS FROM CUBA.
HE HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS. HE SAYS. WHICH
WILL PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
FEVER AMONG PASSENGERS

FROM HAVANA.
Dr. Alvah II. Doty Health officer OF the port or
New York, was passenger on the Ward Line steam
ship Orlzaba which arrived at this port yesterday
from Havana DR.. Doty left New-York about two
weeks ago TO look over the health conditions In Cuba
and also to appoint physicians representing him in
Havana Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos He had
intended 10 visit the south side Of the island but his
plans were altered because the insurgents had in
terfered with the railroad communication. He spent
most Of his time in Havana and it was several days
before he could find the health officials in that port
THE condition OF things in Havana Is terrible. said
DR. Doty yesterday. I'm the last two weeks there
were 800 new cases Of yellow fever In the city. and
in the course Of the last seven days before sailed
100 people died from the scourge No atemp: is being
made to place proper sewers throughout the CITY
Dr. Doty thought that the lack Of sanitary arrange
ments was the only thing that prevented Havana from
being a remarkably fine city. He has formulated
stricter regulations regarding the treatment and the
giving OF health papers those who sail from Cuba
FOR this port which he believes will entirely prevent
the development of fever among passengers on the
way or after their arrival here.
Among the ofller passengers or the Crlzaoa were
three men who on the Laurada expedition

The Outbreak a Failure.

PORT LUIS MAURITUs, Feb. 10
A French reporter, writing from
Madagascar under date of January
oath says a conspiracy has been
discovered in Antanararivo, the
capitol of Madagascar, the result
of which was that a force of 1000
made an attack upon the French
soldiers stationed there and were
repulsed; the French followed up
their advantage and killed 5000 of
the Hovas. Fourteen of the Hova
chiefs were taken prisoners and
condemned to death and i'm
mediately shot. Several others
were transported. 1t is rumored,
the reporter writes, that a number
OF French officers and soldiers have
been murdered by the Hovas.

A Crooked Official.

Robert Charlson, alias G. F.
Robinson, was arrested yesterday
by Deputy United States Marshal
Kilgore, charged with presenting
fraudulent claims against the
United States government. The
accused was formerly United States
commissioner at Alfalfa, Ala. and
it is said he usurped his authority
for fraudulent purposes, thereby
swindling the government out Of
nearly 100000. 1t is said he WAS
in cahoots with other officers and
that they would make false charges
against one another in q conspir-
acy to swindle the government.
The accused would be bound over
by Commissioned Charlson, the
grand jury would indict him, he
would pay his fine, and the fees,
which Uncle Sam foots, would be
divided between the officers and
the accused. Charlson acknowl-
edges his guilt.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY Is, '9

The biennial disturbances to
trade Of all kinds in this country,
induced by the elections, are not
creditable to the good sense or wis
dom in management of the state
and national affairs. That the
elections come much too often and
that the public service is not i'm
proved thereby, is conceded by
the sober headed men Of all parties,
but none Of the leaders have the
political courage to move for
longer terms Of office, and CORES
pondingly fewer elections. 1t is
time that the change came. There
is no sense in electing a president
for less than ten years, and
his term should be a single one.
United States senators should serve
for at least eight years and con-
gressmen. for not less than six.
State officials should have one term
OF not less than four years and
then permanently retire. This
would be death to the pie politi-
clans, hut it would work wonder
full revolution in the public service,
increasing its efficiency and greatly
lessening the power of political cor
ruption and the cost of the cleo
tions. Add to this a judiciary ap-
pointed or elected for life and there
would be a very decided change
come over the spirit of the dream
OF American politicians. We will
get there yet.
