GROWING WORSE DAILY.
The Terrible Sanitary Condition OF
Havana.

Sanitary Inspector Drummer. in his last
report to the marine hospital service con-
corning the health situation in Havana,
says:
The sanitary condition of the city Is at
its worst There Is absolutely no effort
made to perform any sanitary work. there
being evidently no money available for
such work. Therefore, with the people I'M
able to secure proper and sufficient food,
and living surrounded by the worst sani-
tary conditions the city of Havana is ripe
for all epidemic diseases, and the existing
conditions are getting worse every day
Dr. Drummer reports a decrease in the
NUMBER or yellow fever patients at Ha-
vana. which is, he says, due TO the fact
that the sick soldiers are no longer brought
to the city. He adds:
intestinal diseases are prevailing to an
alarming extent, augmentin.y the already
heavy death rate, and unless certain food
producers. now altogether beyond the
reach of the masses, are allowed to come
here, 1t would seem that nothing will pre-
vent hundreds of deaths from bad and in
sufficient food. Not only are the poor un-
able to get fresh meats, hut the restaur-
ants are unable to furnish them to their
patrons who are able to pay even the high
est prices. and there seems to be no inten-
ton of the authorities here to relieve the
situation.
During the week 1 made two inspection
tours of the Chinese quarters to ascertain
the number of cases of beriberi The result
was but three cases, and, so far as could
judge, the disease was not spreading There
are about 1900 Chinese here, most of them
being Of the lowest caste, and these people,
many of whom have been compelled to
to obtain sufficient food, and they present a
condition that Is pitiable."

labor conference called by the ST. Louis

fliated with the American Federation of

There was much bitter criticism of the
action OF President GoTnpers of the Ameri-

bers not to attend the meeting.
