of Obispo Street.
Dr. Wilson today told Col Waring
that the city was never before in a cor
dition more favorable for a yellow fever
epidemic. In normal times the deaths in
Havana number about three hundred
week They are now averaging fully 100
a day. In Guanabacoa, a town of about
thirty-five Thousand population, they are
burying fifty every day. The deaths
mostly result from pernicious fever,
which in many ways resembles yellow
fever.

Will probably begin early next week.
The Military Commission viii report TO
Gen. Wade that the strictest kind of
quarantine rules will be necessary to
keep the camps free from fever. If the
soldiers are permitted to visit Havana

On m Mission From Garcia.
Col. De Ia Torriente. secretary and aid
20 Gen. Garcia, is in Havana on mis-
sion OF Importance. He visited the
American Commission today. In CONVEX
sation with Gen. Butler he complained
of an attempt by certain people to create
trouble between Cubans and Americans
An interview with Torriente recently
published here made him say that Gar
cia was afraid Of and disliked Americans.
Col Torriente told Gen Butler that Gen.
Garcia issued an address to the people
of Cuba in which he gave every possible
credit TO the American Government
In this address Gen. Garcia said those
In position TO know fully understand that
the American Government is dealing with
absolute fairness with the Cubans, and
III
Cuban republic, as desired by all cubans
of good judgment.
Americans, Gen. Garcia said, should
not be too sharply criticised, as they
would quickly admit any error. This was
established, he declared, when they with
drew Gen Shafter from Santiago in fa-
yor Of Gen. Lawton and Gen. Wood, who
are doing all possible to gain the conf
dence Of all classes. They began by CIV
fng prominent Cubans positions in the
city government, and are now working
to procure funds with which to pay Gu
ban soldiers enough TO provide for neces-
stiles They have recommended TO
Washington that few American troops be
brought TO Cuba, It being thought better
TO maintain order by means of Cuban SOL
diers.
Those generals are now working earn
estly, the manifesto said. for early re-
construction Of the island with its own
forces.
I'VE must not place any difficulty in
the way OF the American Government"
the address continued. 1.-THE Americans
are leading us along the correct path,
and il would be folly for us to refuse
their leadership. which viii assure peace,
pending the establishment of a govern
ment which is to be elected by all the
inhabitants OF Cuba.
when we have established a stable
government the Americans will quietly
withdraw, leaving us to ourselves which
is what all Cubans desire. The United
States has only good will for US. and
will assist US so far as we desire and no
further"
