Death Goes With Drouth.

There is a coincidence in prolonged
drought and in an increased mortality
among the negroes in Charleston, S.
O., as also a connection between the
two. The News and Courier, Of that
city. says there has been little rain in
that section for 40 days or more, with
The result that many Of the water cis-
terms are empty. The colored people
In the city depend largely for their
water supply on water caught in bar
rels from the roofs of their houses.
This is vile water under the best con-
ditions, daily becoming worse when the
supply Is not renewed. With the fail
are of this the negroes, having no
knowledge Of hygiene. resort to the sur
face wells, which, If not worse, are as
bad as the depleted cisterns. AS re-
suit the health officers report of the
number of deaths among the negroes
for the week ended on Saturday last
was 25, the deaths among the better
situated whites for the same period be-
ing only two. An effort to remedy the
conditions Is being made in the estab-
lishment of artesian drinking foun-
tains. Where these have been placed
sickness and death rate have been great
ly reduced, and the News and Courier
calls for their general introduction in
the negro quarter.

Information.

Secretary Long Cnrtails the Supply Of
Information.
Washington. May 18.-An order was
posted this morning, signed by Secre-
tary Long, relative to the publication
of news emanating from the navy de-
partment, considerably curtailing the
supply Of information that has hereto
fore been rather freely given out. The
secretary's order was directed to Cap
tain Crowninshield. chief of the navi-
CATION bureau. and he in turn gave it
out by making an order in his own
name. that no person connected with
his bureau in any capacity should have
any conversation whatever on subjects
in any way pertaining to the navy with
representatives of the press. As an
Offset, it was ordered that bulletins OF
such acts as have actually occurred and
are proper for publication and are not
connected with existing or projected
movements, shall be prepared and post
ed on the bulletin board.
The sum total of the information
published by the bulletin board today
under this rule was notice of the in
tention to start the Philippine expedi-
ton, and of the permission given to
some foreign neutral vessels to pass the
blockade at Havana.
In explanation of the issuance OF this
order, the naval authorities say that
some leading American newspapers
have been so far lacking in patriotism
as to print plans of campaign and pro-
jected movements of naval ships, with
the result that the war board has been
obliged to completely revise its plans.

promptly taken notice of the publica-
tions, and were prepared to profit by

Not Anxious to Incur Our Ill-W1l-
Charges England With Mischief.
Paris, May 18.-The journal des
Debarts, in long article today, re-
fleets the anxiety experienced in gov
eminent circles here respecting the
feeling aroused In America on account
of frances open sympathy with Spain.
It says:
"The whole affair is a misunder-
standing. French opinion at the out
set of the war certainly regarded the
United States in the wrong, and some
of the papers express this opinion in
an aggressive tone. The Americans,
however, should not have taken the
matter tragically, for Of all foreigners,
our natural sympathies are for the
United States, and our government
throughout has acted most correctly"
After charging Great Britain with
being at the bottom of the mischief,
and declaring that it is Americas bust
ness, If she decides to interfere in dis
tant affairs, the article concludes:
"What concerns us is that America
should not, In taking up the question
of international domain, start with
preconceived ideas against us, and de-
nounce the good understanding with
France which has been so useful in the
past, and which is still more desirable
in the future. The French nation
was never really hostile to the Ameri-
cans, who will realize this when the
present friction has had time to disap-
pear"

TEMPTING Fate.

London, May 18.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Corunna says: The
presence of the British channel squad
ron at Villagarier is likely to lead to
some unpleasantness. The idea of an
Anglo-American alliance has so in
famed the Spaniards that the postmen
from the feet when on shore to collect
letters have been hooted and stoned.
Threats have been made to stop the
supply of provisions to the feet. The
British consul protested to the alcalde,
who explained that the popular resent
ment was due to belief in the exist
ence of an alliance, and to the further
impression that the feet took wheat
that properly belonged to the poor.
