Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 12.-As the
result of special Introduction by Cen
eral Wood. military governor Of Santia-
go de Cuba. of American methods OF
conducting municipal affairs, this an
cient and always unhealthy city pre-
sents a health record today which Is
quite extraordinary. considering the
conditions that existed n month ago.
Under the present system Santiago Is
divided into five divisions, under five
physicians. each division having In
spectors of sewers. streets, houses and
dispensaries. with hundred street
cleaners.
Five hundred cubic yards Of refuse
are burned daily. disinfectants are dis
tributed wherever they are needed and
n heavy fine is imposed for unclcanli.
ness and failure TO report unhcalthful
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 Il month ago has
fallen to twenty. Further evidence OF
the wisdom and thoroughness OF the
new sanitary arrangements IL supplied
by the lcssening of sickness among the
new troops.
The chief source OF trouble now is the
slight. \ plan Is proposed to dredgc
thoroughly the muddy shadows eS-
posed by the tide and to protect the
banks with either stone work or piles.

The sickness among the American
soldiers is principally malaria. mild
form of yellow fever. and dyscntcry:
General Wood expects, in the course of
another month. TO make Santiago as
hcalthful MS the ordinary southern city
In the United States.
This week nll the Spanish prisoners
will leave and the Cuban army. save

Many Americans are arriving here In

BIG FIRE IN ARIZONA.
A Number of Lives Lost at tho Town Of

Prescott. AriZ.. Sept. 1.-THE town
OF Jerome, near here. was completely
wiped out this morning by fire. entail
ing a loss Of one million dollars In
property. Eleven bodies have so FAR
been recovered. while score or more
are said to he In the ruins or missing.
The fire originated from gasoline
stove i'm n cabin and spread so rapidly
and iicrccly that II was impossible to
save even clothing.
The fire was confined exclusively to
the business portion of the town and
the open ground intervening between
II and the mammoth works of the
United Verde Company saved the lat
ter's plant. otherwise the loss and suf-
fcring would have been terrible.
Many people from jerome are arriv-
ing here on special trains. while those
remaining are being cared for by the
company.
The area of the fire was confined to
n narrow gilch and ravincs leading TO
1t, in which were located substantial
wooden and stone buildings. the lat
ter melting ns rapidly before the flames
rs pastcboard. Over 100 residences.
Averaging In value $1,000; % general
merchandise and other stores, sa-
looms. etc. of all kinds. are wiped out:
In short. not single business house
remains. The only building to escape

GOING TO THE PACIFIC.
The Oregon and Iowa TO Iso Stationed at
Honolulu.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The Navy
Department has definitely deter
mined to send the battleships Oregon
and Iowa around into the Pacific for
station In Hawaiian waters. The
purpose of this move Is obvious.
There Is no particular necessity for
war vessels of such great strength
on the Pacific coast and Honolulu Is
1000 miles nearer the Philippines
than San Francisco is.
With the Oregon and Iowa at Hon
olulu they will be In excellent POSI-
tion to respond to call in the far
east II matters there assume criti-
cal condition through the interfer-
ence, for example. of any European
country in the Philippine question.
Reports to the Navy Department
show that both vessels are in much
better condition rs to machinery and
generally than was supposed. De-
spite the strain to which they We're
subjected In the war, they are said
TO be capable of making the long voy-
age without an extensive stay at the
Brooklyn navy yard In the hands OF
repair gangs. The Oregon Is In tip
top shape and ready to repeat the re-
markhble performance which insured
her presence at the naval engagement
with Cervera's fleet.
1t is not known definitely when the
ships will start on their long cruise,
but they cannot get away before the
LIST OF October. according to the views
OF officers here.
The Oregon and Iowa will be ac-
cGmpanied by four colliers now at
Hnmpton Roads. This will insure n
quick trip and prevent any uncer-
tainty or embarrassment In obtaining
coal In South American ports on the
technicality that the war has not
ended officially and the sale Of fuel to
them would be n violation Of neu-
trality. The most economical steam
ing rate OF the Oregon and Iowa Is
ten knots and the cOlliers selected
will be capable of that for the entire
voyage.
With the two big battleships Mt
Honolulu. the Navy Department will
have no uneaslness over any trouble
that may ensue In the Philippines.

Washington. Sept. 12.-Thc five men,
bers of the peace commission are cN-
pccted TO be In Washington tomorrow.
At that time the President will give
the commissioners their final instrnc-
tions before they go to New York TO
take passage for Paris.
According 10 their individual views
on territorial expansion as applied to
the Philippines, the five members OF
the commission are now recorded.
Chairman Day-Opposed to retain
ing all the islands: fnvors the keeping
of Manila and enough OF the island of
Luzon to form sclf-supporting naval
base.
Senator Dnvis-For territorial cx-
panslon: In favor Of keeping all terri
tory acquired by war and deeply inter-
csted In promoting American com
mercc in the Pacific ocean.
Senator Fryc--An enthusiastic cN-
pansionist and In favor of holding all
the Philippines.
Whitelaw Rcid-For the acquisition
of territory. but not in favor OF hold
ing all the Philippines.
senator Gray-Opposed TO any ncqui'
sition of territory.
Notwithstanding individual opinions,
the commission is very apt to agree
upon the policy suggested by the Pres

News of revolution In the islands
reached this city In the letters from
Honolulu, Drought by the steamer Cop
tic. The story was borne to Honolulu
by a trading schooner, which touched
ut the Carolincs.
Two native kings Of the group, who
had long been mt war with each other
some months ago. declared truce.
combined their forces. and began war
against the Spanish authorities.
The Spnniards were concentrated at
Ponape and 1t was here the natives
made their attempt.
The blacks fought with such vigor
and In such numbers that the Span
iards We're compelled to retreat and
take shelter in the barracks, which they
held.
The gunboat Quiros was then dis
patched TO Guam for MD, but on arriv-
ing there found the American flag
floating. The Quiros never returned,
and mt zap. In the Caroline group. 1t
was thought she was lost. The suppo-
sition Is that the Ladrone garrison OF
Americans had possession OF her.
There are 100 soldiers In POnapc
town, but these were poorly supplied
with ammunition. and In no position to
resist u prolonged attack. The belief
Is that the place wns captured and the
Spanish garrison slain.
The entire group. unless the Span.
inrds made an unexpected stand, must
be by this time In the possession of the
natives.
This story IL confirmed by James
Wilder OF Honolulu. who recently re-
turned to Hawaii from tour In the
Carolines. He said at that time the m.
tives We're mu' h dlscontentcd and Were
