YELLOW FEVER IN CUBA.
Danger Much Exaggerated and May
Be Entirely Overcome.

Chicago, Ills, May 4.-Dr. John B..
Hamilton, former surgeon general of
the marine hospital service of the Unit
ed States. in an address given at the
Physicians club, maintained that the
danger from yellow fever in Cuba is
much exaggerated.
The danger to our soldiers, he said,
was not half as great as the people be-
lieve. He had no hesitation in saying
that Cuba was naturally as healthful
a country as any in the tropics. He
then enumerated the places where yell
low fever was first propagated; the in
fected buildings in Havana, the infect
ed WharveS and, lastly, the upper end
Of the bay of Havana. This, he said,
was the principal cause of all the
trouble. In this part of the bay the
water is stagnant and filthy, and breeds
disease. On the banks is established
the military hospital. Instead of TAX
ing the sick up on the hills, they are
put in this infected building. Was it
any wonder. he asked, that the fever
could not be controlled?
A consideration of the geographical
conditions in Cuba showed that the
hills back of Matanzas are II to Is hun
dred feet high, and back of Havana
they are eight or nine hundred. By
making the camps on these hills, the
speaker said, the danger would be
greatly reduced. There is no other sea-
coast city where it would be so easy to
keep troops, provided the system of
regular and careful inspection be main
tanned. The stagnant portion of the
bay of Havana could be purified by a
canal from the Almendarez river, and,
after period of proper household SAN
it6tion, in the city, Havana would be-
come as healthful as any city in the
tropics.
He calls attention to the fact that
England had given a lesson in sani-
tatiOn at Jamaica. At one time King
ston was as subject to yellow fever as
Havana. but now cases seldom occur.

ARMS FOR CUBANS.
Question That Gives Concern 10 Sen
ate Military Committee.

Washington. May 4.-The senate
committee on military affairs gave
some attention today to the question
of furnishing arms and other supplies
to the Cubans. This is a matter that
involves delicate points, and is giving
the committee some concern, but the
probability is that action will be taken
soon, as no distribution would be le-
gal unless authorized by congress. The
bill before the committee authorizes
American officers in command to make
the distribution proposed.
a conference with the house commit
tee has been arranged on the bill pro-
viding for engineers and yellow fever
immUnes to go to Cuba
The senate conferees will insist on a
consolidation of all the measures au-
thorizing several forces, including cow
boys, immunes and engineers, so as ia
make the total number 10000 and to
leave the distribution of them to the

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Navy Bureau Would Welcome Their
Accession Just Now.

Washington, May 4.-No official news
has come to confirm the report from
Hawaii that the islands have been ten

to the telegraph, on account of it's i'm
portance, but would be forwarded by
the railway mail, which would bring
it here in about five days. Without ex-
ception. the naval officers would well
come the possession Of Hawaii just at
this moment as affording a magnificent
base for naval operations in the Pa
cific. but it is said President Dole's
proposition must be submitted to con-
gress. SO that it will be for the legis-
lative branch, in the end, to pass upon
this offer.

dore Schley has been notified that the
cruiser Columbia has been detached
from the squadron and that the New
Orleans will take her place. So far as
fighting ability is concerned, the New
Orleans is superior to the Columbia,
being more heavily armored and with
out so much free board and upper
works to serve as a target. The Min
neapolis has not yet been officially de-
tached and may yet be in the squadron.
The squadron is now accompanied by a

purposes and the collier Sterling.
