SANTIAGO PURIFIED.
Decreased Death Rate Under Ameri-
can Sanitary system.


Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 12.-As the re-
suit of the general introduction by Cen
eral Wood, military governor of Santiago
de Cuba, OF American methods OF con-
Quoting municipal affairs, this ancient and
always unhealthy city presents health
record today which is quite extraordinary,
considering the conditions that existed a
month ago. Under the present system
Santiago Is divided into five divisions. I'M
der five physicians. each division having
inspectors of sewers. streets. houses and
dispensaries, with q hundred street clean
ers.
Five hundred cubic yards of refuse are
burned daily. disinfectants are distributed
wherever the-r are needed and a heavy
fine is imposed for uncleanlinesS and fail
ure to report unhealthful conditions and
death.
Quick proofs Of the benefits of the sys-
tenn are furnished by the decrease in sick
ness among the poor. The daily death
rate of 20 a month ago has fallen to 20.
oughness of the new sanitary arrange
ments is supplied by 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 TO dredge thor
oughly the muddy shadows exposed by the
tide and to protect the banks with either
stone work or piles, carrying the present
infectious sewage two miles down the
bay. where the current is swifetr.
The sickness among the American SOL
diers is principally malaria. mild form
of yellow fever and dysentery- General
Wood says in the course of another month
Santiago will be as healthful as the or
binary southern city in the United States.
This week all the Spanish prisoners will
leave and the Cuban army, save the staff
viii disband.
Many Americans are arriving here in
search of business opportunities. They
pressed by the commercial possibilities of
the town.

WILL BE NO PARADE.
Troops at Montauk Point Are Unable
to Participate.


Washington. Sept. 1.-THE president
Aas decided that it will be impractical
BILE for the troops at Montauk to take
part in the projected parade in New
York City. He has talked the matter
over with General Miles and with Act
ing Secretary Meikeljohn, and it was
finally determined to let the matter be
decided by the physical condition of
the men. To ascertain this, the medical
officers at the camp were called upon,
as was General Shafter. All reported
that the men will not be able TO stand
the fatigue of the parade before the
first of next month, at the earliest.
As the parade was to occur next Sat
Erday, this renders the present partici-
patton of the Montauk troops impossi-
bic. General Miles. upon learning the
decision of the president, made an in
qriry into the strength of the Porto
Eucan troops now on their way to New
York under command of Generals VIII
son and Garretson. He found that they
aggregated about 700 men, and he has
about concluded that these are not
sufficient TO make a creditable showing
and therefore probably will abandon
the idea of a parade

SPAIN LOSES THE CAROLINES.
Believed That the Natives Are In
Full Control.

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-The Call
says: Private advices have been re-
ceived in this city to the effect that
the Caroline group of islands, which
this country contemplated seizing. had
war with Spain been prolonged, is
probably by this time in the hands of
the natives. Two native kings of the
group. who had long been at war with
each other, some months ago declared
a truce, combined their forces and be-
gan war against the Spanish authori-
ties, who sent in vain to Guam for aid,
after concentrating their forces at Po-
nape. They were poorly supplied with
ammunition and in no position to re-
sist a prolonged attack. The SUPPOSE
ton is that the place was captured
and the Spanish garrison wiped out.
This would virtually mean the cap
ture of the entire group of islands.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 12.-Concerning
reports from Camp Wikoff that the
camp is preparing to break up under
peremptory new orders from General
Niles, Secretary Alger said today:
There is nothing new in that. Camp
Wikoff from the first was mostly in
tended as a detention camp. The pur-
pose from the first has been to get the
soldiers away from there as soon as
possible. No change in purpose is in
dictated by these dispatches from my
own orders given before 1 left Wash
ington."
Relative to a statement attributed to
General Miles to never mind what AL
ger says etc, the secretary positively
refused to speak.

parently by violence.

Battleship For Dewey.

New York. Sept IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: There
is reason to believe that the navy de-
partment has selected the Texas as
the future flagship OF the Asiatic
squadron. The understanding is that
she will replace the protected cruiser
Olympia, which is to be ordered to the
United States as soon as her relief
arrives on the Asiatic squadron. The
Oympia's crew cruise expired some
months ago. but the breaking out of
the war with Spain necessitated her
retention in the east, and some hasty
repairs to her machinery were made
at Hongkong Just before the declara-
ton of hostilities.
