WashinGton, Sept. lS.-The Navy
Department has definitely deter
mined to send the battleships Oregon
aud Iowa around into the Pacific for
station In Hawaiian waters. The
purpose Of this move In obvious.
There In no particular necessity for
war vessels Of such great strength
on the Pacific coast and Honolulu In
1000 miles nearer the Philippines
than San Francisco IN.
With the Oregon and Iowa at Hon
olulu they will be In excellent POSI-
tion to respond to a call In the far
east II matters there assume \ criti-
cal condition through the interfer-
cnce, for example. Of any European
country in the philippine question.
Reports to the Navy Department
show that both vessels are In much
better condition as to machinery and
generally than was supposed. De-
spite the strain to which they were
subjected In the war. they are said
10 be capable of making the long voy-
nge without nm extensive stay mt the
brooklyn navy yard In the hands of
repair gangs. The Oregon Is in tip
top shape and ready to repeat the re-
markable performance which insured
her presence Mt the naval engagement
with Cervera's fleet.
1t is not known definitely when the
ships will start on their long cruise.
iiut they cannot get away before the
1st OF October. according to the views
CT officers here.
The Oregon and Iowa will be ac-
c0mpanled by four colliers now nt
Iompton Roads. This will insure n
quick trip and prevent any unccr-
tl,nty or embarrassment In obtaining
coal in South American ports on the
'cchnicality that the war has not
ended officially and the sale Of fuel to
them would be violation OF neu-
trnlity. The most economical steam
Ing rate of the Oregon and Iowa is
ten knots and the golfers selected
Will be capable OF that for the entire
voyage.
With the two big battleships at
Honolulu. the Navy Department will
have no uneasincss over any trouble
that may ensue in the Philippines.

quite extraordinary. considering the
conditions that existed month ago.
Under the present system Santiago Is
divided into five divisions, under five
physicians. each division having In
spcctors Of sewers, streets, houses and
dispensaries, with 4 hundred street
cleaners.
Five hundred cubic yards OF refuse
are burned daily. disinfccinnts are dis
tributcd wherever they are needed and
a heavy fine Is imposed for uncleanli-
ness and failure TO report unhealthful
conditions and deaths.
Quick proofs Of the benefit Of the sys-
TEN are furnished by the decrease In
sickness among the poor. The daily
death rate Of seventy month ago has
fallen TO twenty. Further evidence Of
the wisdom and thorouchness Of the
new sanitary arrangements IL supplied
by the lcssening OF sickness among the
new troops.
The chief source OF trouble now is the

posed by the tide and to protect tho
