FEVER HOSPITAL NEEDED.
The Existing Hospitals in Havana Do
Not Isolate Yellow Fever
Patients.

HAVANA. VIA KEY WEST, Oct. 10
Drs. Lane and O'Reilley have made re-
port TO the surgeon general, insisting upon
the immediate establishment of an Amer
lean fever hospital here. The existing hos
pitfalls do not isolate yellow fever patients,
and the result is that If a person suffering
from any other complaint is removed to
the hospital he runs the risk of contract
ing the fever This was the case with
Stenographer Dalbey, of the American
evacuation commission, who is suffering
from malarial fever. His next door neigh
bor is i'll with fever of different char
acter.
Colonel Clous has received plan Of every
fortification on the island, each one signed
personally by General Blanco. These plans
had been requested by our commissioners
ever since their arrival, but were not de-
liyered until yesterday.
The transportation commission has begun
work upon the plans for the extension of
the railroad TO the camp at Guanabacoa.
which Will be the first to be got ready.
They have asked for bids. and laborers are
being employed 10 push the work actively.
Colonel Waring has found Havana dirtier
than he anticipated. He says 1t will be
necessary TO tear open the streets and lay
drainage pipes and sewers. He sees no
reason 10 fear an epidemic, as there was
no spread of disease when the streets were
opened recently TO lay water pipes. He is
greatly satisfied with the excellence of Ha-
Nana water supply.
Industry and commerce continue at
standstfll. Many planters and merchants
who recently returned here anticipating an
early resumption of business are gong
abroad again to wait until affairs are set

i'll business ventures or risk a cent III the
present unsatisfactory and indefinite con-
dition of political affairs on the island. In
the meantime, the country daily grows
Poorer. The sugar and tobacco crops are
unsown.
That the conditions of the Cubans is not
so desperate or black as is painted. out
side the fact that they are short Of ra-
tionS is confirmed by Colonel Rowan and
Lieutenant Parker who, after crossing the
island five times, covering LOCO miles, and
visiting every insurgent camp in the island,
report that the men in the camps are eff
ficient well disciplined and officered by
men of high order of Intelligence and
education. From these men who have
struggled and suffered for three long years
for their ideal of freedom, resistance Is to
be feared 10 any solution of the problem
not having for its basis independence.

OVERLOOKING WITH STUDENTS

The rapidly increasing demand for the
higher education for women is something

only boast four learned young bachelors

AS GOOD AS MOTHERS JELLY.
In Fact 1t Was His Mothers That An
Albany Soldier Bought
in Honolulu.
Frnm the Albanr Argus.

From the Albany Argus
The friends of certain Albany boy,
who is private in the First New York at
Honolulu, are much amused and at the
same time incensed over an experience
of his which he relates in a recent letter.
After telling how poor the food was, he
went on to say he had just recovered
from a slight Illness, and felt an irrestible
longing for dainties Of some kind. After
some thought he concluded that he wanted
a Jar OF Jelly more than anything else
that he could think of. He remembered
the currant jelly which his mother used to
make, and his mouth watered at the recol-
lection. So he took some money out of
his small store and went into the city
TO buy. He picked out a confectioner's s
shop and, going in. asked for glass
of jelly-currant preferred If they had such
a thing To his surprise and delight the
of the very kind that he wanted 1t looked
almost exactly like some he had eaten
at home, and he paid the high price charged
without hesitation When he came out
into the street he was still more struck
with its similarity to that which he had
seen at home. He examined the jar, turn
ing it upside down. On the bottom was
pasted a piece of white paper with some
writing on it. What was his surprise when
ha saw that the writing, which was some
what blurred. was the name of his own
mother. The mystery of the strange re-
semblance was explained.
A few days later he received a letter
from home in which his mother spoke Of
a box of dainties which she had sent him
sometime before. Il know you will
enjoy the jelly particularly" she said. The
only explanation of the presence of the
Jelly in the shop is that it had been ap-
propriated on its arrival by some one in
authority and sold. The young man has
complained through his captain. but 1t is
rot probable that he will gain any satis-
faction.

the young wife insisted that her husband
had been killed, and it was in the midst
of her lamentations that message was
brought from Skykomish telling briefly of
the accident.
