HAVANA 4 PEST HOLE.
an old Resident Of the City Tells of
the Rainy season.

Key West. May 23-The rainy season in
Cuba began more than week ago and
it is rot unlikely that Havana is a perfect
past hole.
An old resident Of JIavana said to the
Associated Press reporter to-day: "TIa-
yana has malarial fever and smallpox
the year round but they are not epidemic
except in the rainy season.
"Within week after rain begins. the
death rate shows a large increase and the
situation grows worse as the season adj
yances.
"Whon the war broke out there were
$4,000 persons in Havana who had not SUI
dcicut means of support for one week.
What must be their condition now after
FIVE weeks of the blockade.
Among the reconcentrados smallpox
has killed more than any other disease.
while q death from yellow fever oc-
ours in Havana The victim is buried with
the usual public funeral exercises and the
house in which ne died is occupied as be-
fore without disinfcctiln
During certain rainy seasons I have
known hundreds of deaths per day to oc-
cur from contagious diseases; and with the
present conditions the daily death list may
run into the thousands before the middle
Of the summer"

PEACH CROP TO BE IMMENSE.
FRUIT GROWERS UNIONS PLANS
FOR HANDLING 1T.

President Cunningham Estimates
That 1000 Carloads VIII BE
shipped From ,Georgia-The Larg-
est Number Ever Shipped Before
935 CarIonds-Mr. Cunningham
Thinks Growers should Net 800
Ter Car.
Atlanta, Ga, May 2S.-John D. Cunning
ham, president of the American Fruit
Growers Union, thinks that Georgia will
have phenomenal peach crop this year.
He came to Atlanta to-day on his way to
the meeting of the fruit growers at Macon,
from Chicago, which is the headquarters
of the Fruit Growers Union.
From this headquarters the shipment
and marketing of the crop is to be directed
by the union, through the systematic eff
forts of which it is expected that the crop
will yield a larger per cent of profit to the
growers than ever before.
In speaking of the crop and the work of
the union, Mr. Cunningham, who is prob
ably the best posted man in the state, on
the subject, said to the Morning News cor
respondent: THE peach crop Is very
large both in Georgia and In California.
There will be at least 1000 cars from
Georgia. The largest number heretofore
was 935. The peaches ought to net the
grower 500 per car. The railroads get
about $175 per car, beside $50 for refriger-
alton. In California the crop is somewhat
damaged
1.-The American Fruit Growers Union
proposes to direct the shipments so as to
prevent a glut In the markets. We have
an agent in every city of 10000 inhabitants
or over, and will be prepared to handle
the crop ourselves if necessary. What we
propose 10 do is to force the dealer to
come to the shipping point and buy the
them a fair margin. If they will not
do that we viii consign 1t to the agents
of the union in the different cities.
If you have a ear of peaches to ship
from Griffin, for instance, you wire the
headquarters of the union at Chicago that
you Will have a car to ship tomorrow
You get a telegram directing you to ship
to such an agent at such a city. This
telegram would be based on our knowl-
edge Of the market conditions in every city
in the country. This would be done on
commission basis, with charges the same
as those made by any reputable commits
sion man. The profit, if any, arising from
the excess over expenses goes back to
the stockholders in dividends. The Ameri-
can Fruit Growers Union is a purely CO.
operative concern. In 1895, the year of
the last big crop, the Georgia Fruit Grow
ers' Association handled 80 per cent. of
the crop marketed from this state"

Copyright, 1885, by the Associated Press
Cape Haytien, Hayd, May pa rumor
has reached here of an important Ameri-
can success, but no confirmation of the re-
port can be obtained here.
Since the rumored arrival of the Spanish
fleet at Santiago no news has reached here
though the cable between this place and
Santiago is not interrupted
The significance of this mysterious ST.
lence is not known, but it excites great
wonder.
The theory that the Spanish admiral al
lowed himself TO be bottled up in the bay
at Santiago is not entertained here; on the
contrary, the Hayden officials say 1t is far
from likely that such a thing has occurred.
1t is hoped that a message from Com
modore Schley will be soon received at
Mole st. Nicholas or elsewhere.
