PEOPLE DYING LIKE DOGS

NEW YORK. March 21.-A gentleman of
this city has received the following letter
from United States naval officer of high
rank now at Havana:
ID not see how IL Is possible for us
10 withhold our interference IL is well
enough 10 talk about this island belonging
10 another country, and that we have no
nght mere; that We ought to leave Spain

1t is but reasonable to suppose that at
least $4,000 have died who have not been
reported, and Il is estimated that half of
these who Joined the insurgents ara dead.
We thus have at least 100000 out of 4 5OO-
OO0 who have disappeared I'm this period Of
tine, and the most of these have died
through starvation or the efects of want
OF food. There is nothing like it that I
know of in the history of modern times.
The island is simply being made an unin-
habited desert.
AT Matanzas. which had $1,000 popula-
ton (and is now estimated to have 30,0O0),
but forty miles from here, some of our Of
ficers saw four persons lying in the street,
dead of starvaton. 1t is estimated that In
the district of Matanzas they are dying ut
the rate OF loo a day.
These are not rumors or exsggerations:
they are stern, melancholy fats. IL this
is not a case for interference ty q Chris

The preparations for the defense Of tho

concerned. The battery at Sheridan Point
on tn, Potomac just above Mount Vernon

and IT can be approached from the land
side only by crossing fields and farm lands.

HOW TO AVOID YELLOW JACK.

Prof. Kick Says 1t fs Easy to Avoid
the Germs.
CHICAGO, March 2L-Uncle Sam has
cnly to issue an order to his troops TO
"cook your food and boil your drinking
water" to render the whole American army
immune from yellow fever. according to
Prof. Edwin Kick of Rush Medical College,
an account of whose discovery Of yellow
fever germs was published a fortnight ago.
Toe Spanish soldiers In Cuba, among
whom the mortality from yellow fever has
been great. have eaten and drunk cooked
and uncooked food and water indiscrfmi-
nately. It rs Professor Kicks theory that
II the simple precaution Of boiling and
cooking had been followed the army would
have been practically immune from the
disease.
In the event of war with Spain the Amer
lean troops sent to Cuba would be forced
to depend largely on food canned in the
United States, which would lessen the dam
ger considerably. 1t is Professor Kicks be-
iiei that the familiar injunction OF the Chi
cago health department to boil the water
would complete the safety of the troops
from the disease. whose ravages are more
to be dreaded than Spanish bulleta
