The monthly bulletin issued by the
State Board of Health shows that, com
pared with the average September in
the twelve years, 1SS6-lS97 diphtheria,
whooping cough, scarlet fever, con.
sumption, intermittent fever and ty-
phoid fever were less prevalent in
Michigan than usual during the month
OF September, 1898. Dangerous com
municable diseases were reported pres
ent in September as follows: Small
pox at one place, measles at IL places,
whooping cough at 20 places, diph-
liberia at 81 places, scarlet fever at 46
places, typhoid fever at 179 places, and
consumption at 100 places. Notwith-
standing the fever generated at Island
Lake, and the very many cases OF fever
brought into Michigan from other mill
itary camps, typhoid fever has still
been kept down to less sickness than
the average September in the past
twelve years.

Cuba's Fine Cigar Tobacco

"The troubles In Cuba have already about
broken up the raising Of fine cigar tobacco"
said fine tobacco importer, land even If
things ever do quiet there 1t will be long
times before there will be as much cigar
tobacco raised there as there was several
years ago. In this respect Florida has
been gamer, but it Is impossible to raise
the finest wrappers in Florida unless the
seed can be secured in Cuba. Cuban seed
grows good enough for the first crop in
Florida, but the seed from that tobacco
produces but poorly by comparison. In
the third year the tobacco grown from the
original Cuban seed has gone back to it's
original growth before it was developed in
Cuba, and is positively rank. The only
way the Florida wrapper growers could
make any inroad into the cigar businesses at
all was to secure fresh Cuban seed each
year, and as this supply is now very un-
certain, the Florida business, which has
grown steadily for the past five or six years
is sure to diminish Washington Evening

The latest coup at Monte Carlo was, it
appears, made by an Englishman, not, it
is said, wholly unknown on the London
stock exchange. The other day he went
from one table to the other placing the
maximum on the same number, and,
strange to relate, at each table this num-
ber came up. The lucky player then went
to the trente-et-quarante room and put the
maximum on three of the tables there, and
at each he selected the right color. One of
the head croupiers said it was the worst
day the Monte Carlo rooms had known for
some time, and moreover stated that he be-
lieved the Englishman had won a sum of
money amounting to nearly s2O0,000.-St.

SPAIN HOPES FOR HELP
FROM THE SPANISH-AMERICA
COUNTRIES =
Not Likely to Be Given but the Attis
tude Of Portugal Is Not
Satisfactory

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Spain has
counted much on the cooperation of the
Spanish-American countries. but there is
no reason to doubt that all Of them will
adopt neutral position.
Members Of the diplomatic corps dis
miss the reports coming from Europe that
another move toward European interven-
ton will be made as soon as Spain suffers
decisive reverse. This is said to be pure
ly conjectural. as no such move has taken
form thus far by the exchange Of notes.
1t Is accepted as settled that no more
ships intended for the American navy can
leave the ports of those countries which
have declared their neutrality. This re-
suit is most serious in the case Of the
cruiser Albany, now at the Armstrong
yards in England. The view among Dip
lomatic officials is that neither the Albany
nor the torpedo boat Somers can leave,
even though the United States flag was
raised over them before the proclamation
of neutrality was issued. It Is said the
| raising of the flag cannot avoid the mani
fest uses of the ships for war purposes.
| The attitude OF Portugal Is felt to be
| more important just al present than that
of any of the great powers of Europe, ow-
| ing to the presence of the Spanish fleet at
| the Cape Verde islands, belonging to Por-
tugal. Neither the state department nor
| the Portuguese minister at Washington
| has received word up to tonight as to the
| purpose Of Portugal on the question of
neutrality. This caused considerable ap-
prehension in official circles here, as 1t
was felt that Portugals vicinage to Spain
might induce her to withhold neutrality
| for time. She owns the Cape Verde group,
the Azores and the Maderas, which would
give the Spanish fleet three very important
bases of operation. Late in the day the
press dispatch from Lisbon, saying that
the cabinet council will declare neutrality
| tomorrow, relieves this apprehension con-
siderably. The effect Of the decree will be
| to compel the Spaniards at Cape Verde to
| leave Immediately. 1t Is felt, however,
| that Portugal has done her neighbor good
| turn in deferring the proclamation until
| tomorrow as the Spanish fleet has been
| laying in stores and coal for several days
past and doubtless will be fully equipped
and ready to sail before the neutrality
proclamation forces them out of Portu-
| guese waters.
Colombia is the only South or Central
American country which has thus far de-
clared neutrality.
Will Be Neutral
| LISBON, April N.-In the house of peers
today the government denied the rumors
published in Spain that President McKin-
ley had called upon Portugal to obtain the
departure of the Spanish squadron from
st. Vincent, Cape Verde islands. Senor de
Barros Comes, the minister of foreign af-
fairs, said. supplementing the official de-
nial: Portugal knows how to maintain .
| strict neutrality"
