Havana is bounded by beauty on one
side, by ignorance on the other The ap-
proach to il, particularly in the early
morning, is exceeded in loneliness by per-
haps but two or three other ports There
are many exquisite things in the world
and among them, near the head of the
list, stands dawn in the tropics. 1t is sud
den as love and just as fair Dawn in
the Havanese harbor is a foretaste Of
what paradise may be. The tourist who
has sailed that way passes a night be-
meath stars that are larger and more
neighborly than our own. The water, too,
is different At Key West it looks like a
lawn in May. 1t has the same asparag gus
green. Then il changes. 1t becomes
scanned with phosphorus. As. the stars
disappear it changes again, and very sud
denly, into a syrup of opals. AT the no.
rizon is a tender pink Overhead is a flu
sion of salmon and of blue. Just beyond.
within rifle range, is an amphitheater of
houses party-colored as rainboWs, tiara d
with the pearl points of cathedral, grid
led with the yellow walls of erumb,ing
fort Every city has an aspect and an
odor of its own. Paris, for instance has
a white sky and smells like pretty wo-
man. The aspect of Havana is saffron
1t smell of rancid oil. In addition Il sug-
gests Seville. Though the Moors have
never been there. it looks as though they
had. There is a saying which runs, Que
no has vista Sevilla no has vista maravilla
mot 10 have seen Seville is not to have
seen a marvel In view of recent events
it is proper and pertinent to give the say
ing a twist-Que no has vista Habana.
ha vista NADIA. IL does not rhyme as well
but as NADIA" means nothing" II ought to
pass IN a crowd.

which is pronounced to be wholesome by a
medical officer.
Every case of fever should receive
prompt attention. If albumen is found in
the urine of a patient with fever, it should
be considered suspicious (of yellow fever)
and he should be placed in an isolated tent.
The discharges of patients with fever
should always be disinfected at once with
solution of carbolic acid g per cent?, or
of chloride of lime (six ounces TO a gallon
of water), or with milk of lime made from
quicklime.
Whenever a case of yellow fever occurs
in camp the troops should be promptly
a mile or more from the infected camp. No
doubt typhoid fever, camp diarrncea, and
probably yellow fever are frequently COM
municated to soldiers in camp through the
agency of flies which swarm about focal
matter and filth Of all kinds, deposited
upon the ground, or in shallow pits, and d.
rectly convey infectious germs attached ia
their feet or contained in their eXcreta to
the food which is exposed while being pre-
pared at the camp kitchens or while being
served in, the mess tent. 1t is for this rea-
son that a strict sanitary police is so i'm
pOrtant; also because the water supply
may be contaminated in the same way or
by surface drainage.
IF it can be avoided, marches should
not be made in the hottest part of the day
from 10 a. m. to .. m.
when called upon for duty at night or
early in the morning a cup of hot coffee
should be taken.

but green or overripe fruit will give rise

In decidedly malarious localities from
three to five grains of quiniue may be
taken in the early morning as prophylac-
tic, but the taking of quinine as a routine
practice should only be recommended UNI
der exceptional circumstances
Light wooden Undertaking should be
worn and when a soldiers clothing o,
bedding becomes damp from exposure to
rain or heavy dew the first opportunity
should be taken to dry it in the sun or by
the fire.

aggressive vigor to-day in the stock mar

points throughout the active list. The
sharp advance did not bring out any large

washington. April 25.-Anticipating the
service the army will be called upon to
perform in Cuba. Surgeon General George
M. Sternberg of the army has issued a'cir-
cular of instruction to medical officers
giving directions for obtaining the highest
sanitary conditions in camp life. The cir
cular is as follows;
''In time of war a great responsibility
rests upon medical officers of the army
for the result of a campaign may depend
upon the sanitary measures adopted or
neglected by the commanding generals OF

is responsible for proper recommendations

the troops in camp or in garrison, ana II ~
believed that as a rule, medical oihcers
OF the United States army are well in-

Agricultural implements were turned around in their sheds, bales of hay rolled around the barn, and chicken houses and their squawk- ing inmates were turned over on one another, while the frightened fowls added to the din. For it did make a horrible noise, Mrs. Garrett declares, although somewhat mingled with fall ing porch timbers. tumbling tanks and windmills and crumbling plaster.
 The drawbridge across Midshipman Slough is laid up for repairs with two sections badly displaced and the ends pulled away from each other, and along the west bank of the same water a crevasse cut deep enough and wide enough to engulf a man. It parallels the bank and seems to have been caus- ed by the doubling of the bottom of the slough, and the tearing away of as much of the bank as would come It is filling with mud now. but the outline of the big seam can be plainly made out.

struggled from under the heap of fur niture and rushed downstairs to the front door. It was damned tight in It's frame. so they ran to the rear of the house and got out through a great rent in the side, caused by the dis placing of the kitchen. At first it was thought the gas apparatus used on the ranch had exploded. The truth was quickly known, but the full extent of pranks played and the damage done was not known until the next morn ing.
 The house had been shifted and was practically wrecked, although the walls still stand. Four windmill tanks were thrown down and two of the windmills with them. An old sink hole in the yard, covered and half full of water. had the boards torn from over it and thrown far to the side, and the water lying in it was splashed all over the landscape.
 A ditch running from the house to Midshipman Slough, a mile and a half away, was emptied of it's contents, and the red mud from it's bottom dyes the ground for six feet on either side. The ditch is five feet wide and there was at least two feet of water in it. So- noma Creek kicked up it's heels and ran up it's banks until 1t flooded all the land unprote cted by levees, and in some places it even splashed over these, something 1t has never done be- fore. The levees are cracked in places and the creek bank seems loosened. but not badly except in spots
 Barn doors were thrown open, one pair of them breaking a stout plank placed across to keep them closed. 4

 H. Tubbs, to whom 1t belongs. and he and his wife live in the upper story of the ranchhouse. The house is two stories high and was hard finished. There was also porch around it and an ell for the kitchen, but none of these are attached to it now. The porch is gone-smas ashed as fiat as newly rolled grain field; the kitchen has been torn down and lies a half dozen feet away from where 1t was built to the main structure, and the only bit of plaster still on the walls is hidden in one of the upstairs closets. As to the furni- ture and dishes, there is nothing left unbroken.
 Garrett and his wife slept in one of the upper rooms. The first intimation that they had of any seismic visita- tion was when Mrs. Garrett was thrown nearly out of bed, and Garrett was struck by the headboard as it caved in on him. The footboard followed, and then the bureau, leaving its place over by the wall, dropped on the bed on top of everything. Garrett and his wife

 The levees on the Greenwood place are scanned and cracked, and a deep crevasse extends part way across one of the fields, but otherwise the tule land settled back to await other earth quakes.
 Up slong Petaluma Creek there was more trouble, and the twin houses owned by c. A. Whitney added to the interest by twisting off their supports and settling down on the ground, breaking meanwhile everything break able in the rooms.
