HAVANA NOW
 A PEST HOLE Rainy Season Has Begun and Fevers and Smallpox Are
 Epidemic.

Key West Fla, May 2S.-The rainy seas on in Cuba began more than a week ago, and it is not unlikely that Havana is a perfect pest hole, but Admiral Sampson's squadron is so effective that not a sim gle disease germ can live. An old resi- dent of Havana said to the Associated Press reporter today:
 Havana has malarial fever and small pox the year round, but they are not epi- demic except in the rainy season. Within a week after the rains begin the death rate shows a large incrase and the situa- tion grows worse as the season advances, but a few days are enough to scatter disease. It is no wonder the people believe the rain itself contains deadly poison. For several months the weather has been unusually dry and following precedent the rains should be heavier than is GUS tomary. When the war broke out there were 150 900 persons in Havana who had not sufficient means of support for one week. What must be their condition now after five weeks of the blockade? As rule Cubans are not provident, while Spaniards are not open handed. Hence, the Span iards when the war began. had nothing.
 Hunger soon puts a person in a condition In which the pestilence can readily seize him. Among the reconcentrados smallpox is killing more than any other disease. The people were unable to keep clean, unable to be vaceinated, even if willing. and they died by tens of thousands. In their debili- tated condition disease operated to rapid degree The Cuban insurgents encamping in swamps suffer severely from malarial fever. It is estimated that 80 per cent. of the Spanish troops have had yellow fever, and are immune, as are an the volunteers Smallpox can be excluded from the armies by vaccination, but malarial fever will kill or incapacitate many thousands of Gen eral Blancos men. During certain rainy seasons I have known hundreds of deaths per day to occur from contagious diseases, and under the present conditions the daily death Tits may run into the thousands be- fore the middle of the summer.
 ''In Havana province there are numerous bands of from twenty to fifty insurgents each. They are no longer able to raid the suburbs as before, the defenses having been strengthened, but they do hang about to cut off straggers. A small body of Span- ish soldiers who would wander away from the town would be pretty sure to be chop ped to pieces by Cuban machetes. With the fleet in front and the Cuban guerrillas be- hind, Havana is practically besieged, and the same may be said of the other towns"

The ten da S session of the assembly was remarkably free from dssension and a large amo unt of routine business was transacted. At to- days session the New York Presbyterians' action in striking the name of Charles A. Briggs from the rolls of the church was approved.
