Our Chronic Danger From Cuba.

From the New York Times.
1t would be we'll for the people of the
United States to remember that Cuba, and
especially Havana, sustains at all seasons
a foe which in the long run may claim
the lives of more American citizens than
any war which could well result from in
ternational complications yet in sight, even
to the eager belligerents upon Congress
sional outlooks Havana is one of the two
great centers of distribution of the germs
of yellow feversin America, and it is not
unlikely that this sinister disease may be-
fore long, as the season advances play
an important part in the relationships be-
tween the United States and Spain But
whatever the outcome of the present dis
favorable conditions will prevail during
the coming summer for the transmission
of yellow fever germs from the hotbed in
Havana to the congenial soil of the South
ern states. 1t is none. too early for every
city and town in the South 10 get ready
to deal with this disease in the only way
in which 1t can be dealt with successfully,
namely by the maintenance of good SAN
itary conditions and the support of en-
lightened and efficient local health organ
izations. Quarantine will no doubt be
maintained with a reasonable degree of
rigor, and abundant organization for this
purpose already exists. This will be OF
unduestionable value, but to rely largely
upon quarantine for protection to the neg
lect of local measures is folly little short

November, 1871 Mrs, Mary johnson at
the time of her demise owned a lot on
the north side, which has since come into
possession of Mr.. McKeldin After her
death her husband sold the property and
II has since passed through several hands.
j. s. johnson claims that under an act
of December 1871, his father had mo right
to sell the property, as there were two
children who were joint heirs Prior to
the passage of that act the husband was
the sole heir of the wife. Johnson sued
for the interest of himself and sister, to
which he claimed title on the theory that
his mother died in 1872, after the change
in the law. The property in dispute Is
