"ENEUIES or SANITARY SCIENCE"

a comprehensive paper on Enemies OF SANITARY
Science" was read by Or. Daniel Lewis, president
of the State Board Of Health. last evening, before
the Society Of Medical Jurisprudence, at No. IL
West Forty-third-st DIR. Lewis said that politics
and sanitary science were inmical TO each other
and ought TO be divorced by legislation There
was a lack of uniformity Of health laws through
out the State which ought 20 be remed!ed Popu-
lar Ignorance OF sanitary science was one OF its
greatest enemies. This was shown In many In
land towns. in which. although good water was
provided. proper sewerage was dangerously ne,
elected. Another enemy existed In the refusal OF
legislative bodies give respectful attention to
physicians regarding sanitary matters Or Lewis
thought that LAWYERS should exert their influence
TO secure proper sanitary laws

ian Alleged Spanish Plot.

A New York Worlds Key West, Fla,
special says: A letter received from Ha-
ANA by the steamer Mascot contained in
formation that the Spanish authorities
were plotting the destruction Of this place.
A similar report reached here several
days ago, but at that time was moi gem
orally believed.
The letter was written by u Cuban in
Havana to a friend in this city. A few
days ago lie went to the Government office
in Havana and was informed by a friend
employed there that the Spanish authori-
ties were determined 10 burn Key West
and %annihilate the nest Of insurgent
snakes" The plan of the Span
iards is to send .emissaries to Key
West in the guise Of Cuban sympa-
thizers, who are to fire the city in
as many places as possible when the OPP
%portunity arrives. 1t is said Gen. Weyler
is cognizant of the plan and approves of
it. He is reported to have said that il Key
West and lamp were laid in ashes he
would oon settle the rebellion. 1t is said
that in the event of the success Of the plot,
Gen. Weyler has ordered that the ennis
saries be paid $40, 600.
The people here are so wrought up that
it is feared that an attack may be made
on Senior Cruz, Spanish consul, and his
assistant, Senior Fernandez. 1t is reported
that these gentlemen, becoming alarmed
for their safety, have gone aboard the
United States cutter Winona and de-
manded protection.

OF confidence due largely to the continue
ing and heavy imports Of gold, which
have put an end to money anxiety.
Wheat hal sued My risen q week ago,
but reacted with better crop news until
Thursday, when another advance came Of

week l5x per cent. Corn has reached at
Chicago the lowest point ever touched,
20 cents in 1861, and has again broken all
records in New York, declining to 25ts
cents.
Cotton fell to $7.67, but with revival Of
confidence ross to $3.50, although the
prospects is clearly more favorable than
some weeks ago. After many weeks Of
decline, 20 that the average of prices for
iron and its products was the lowest since
early last year, prices have started up a
shade. Bessemer at Pittsburg lands
$ll.25 and gray forge $3.50. Tho various
associations have not reduced prices.
The starting of some wooden mills which
have been idle and accommodating orders
for a short run is still balanced by the
stopping Of others, and the volume Of or
