.SANTIAG0'S NEW
HEALTH RECORD.
Introduction of American Methods
Has Wrought the Change.
DECREASE IN DAILY DEATH RATE.
ItHas Fallen from Seventy to Twenty.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Sept. i2.-715 p.
Mas the result OF the general intro
duction by General Wood. military gov
ernOr of Santiago de Cuba. OF American
methods of conducting municipal affairs,
this ancient and always unhealthy city
presents a health record to-day which f.
quite extraordinary, considering the con-
diuons tnat existed here month ago.
THE DEATH RATE.
Quick proofs of the benefit of the sys-
TEN are furnished by the decrease in sick
ness among the poor. The average daily
death ratio Of 20 In month, has fallen
to 20. Further evidence .0f.the wisdom and
thoroughness OF the new sanitary ar
rangements is supplied b. the lessening
OF sickness among the new troops.
The chief source Of trouble nOw is the
harbor Near the city the current IS
slight a plan Is proposed 10 drodge
thoroughly the muddy shadows exposed
by the tide and 20 protect the banks
with either stone work or piles. carrying
the present infectious sewage two miles
down the bay where the current is
swifter.
AS HEALTHY IS ANY.
The sickness among the American sol-
diers is principally malarlal. mild form
Of yellow fever. and dysentery. General
Wood expects in the course OF another
month 10 make Santiago as heaithful as
the ordinary southern city I'm the United
States This week all the Spanish pris-
oners will leave. and the Cu3an army,
save the stan officers. win disbanl.
Many Americans are arriving here in
se1ich OF business opportunities. They
express themselves as favorsbly Impress
ed by the commercial possibilities Of the
