SEEDING CENTER OF MALARIA
Unsanitary Conditions Mt Santiago
Are Found to He of the
Worst Type.

SANTIAGO, July 1s,-(Via Kingston, ia
maica, July 19.)--General Shafter has had a
thorough examination made of the sanitary
conditions OF Santiago. The work was done
by DR.. Goodfellow OF the generals staff
and by a civilian physician. DR.. Orlando
Dwiker. They find that although there are
at present but six cases of yellow fever in
the city, in addition to the two suspects,
the town Is ripe for an epidemic. Santiago
and Rio Janeiro are considered the great
est fever breeding centers in the world.
This town lacks every sanitary feature at
its best and now, after two months siege,
leaving it dirty and repelIent, it is a YER
table pest hole. The awful stenches that
arise from the streets stagger and choke
one. No cordial in Santiago has the power
to wash out this odor from ones throat.
The city OF Santiago is a typical tropical
place with narrow, crooked streets and low,
one story dwellings and stores. Many of
the houses are succeed and painted with
startling c%olors, sky blue and vivid shades
OF green predominating. These, with the
red tiles OF the roofs and yerandas, show
evidences of past picturesqueness, but ev-
erything is now in a state of pilapidation
and decay and the city is but a shadow OF
its former self. The majority of the houses
are absolute ruins and public squares. once
green with fountains playing in their CEN
ter, are now utterly neglected. The iron
fences are broken and rusted. while tn,
fountains, since the dearth Of the watol
supply, have long been dry. But here ant
there through the open doors Of more pre-
~tentious dwellings one meets with the vi
sion of an open court filled with palms
brilliant hued pouchianis and other flower
ing trees and plants. II is like brie

The distribution began at 8 o'clock, al

supplies. Finally a picket of troops was
placed on the wharf, refusing admittance
to anyone.
The entire cargo had been landed before
the distribution began. Each applicant
was furnished with a ration ticket supplied
by the local commissioners with Genera
McKibbin's endorsement.
