Under the present system Santiago Is
divided into Ave divisions. under five
physicians. each division having in

Five hundred cubic yards OF refuse
are burned daily. disinfectants are dis
tributed wherever they are needed and
a heavy fine is imposed for uncleanli.
ness and failure TO report unhealthful
conditions and death.
Quick proofs OF the benefit of the
system are furnished by the decrease In
sickness among the poor. The daily
death rate OF 70 a month ago has fallen

and thoroughness of the sanitary ar
rangements Is supplied by the lessening
Of sickness among the troops.
The chief source OF trouble now Is the

slight. A plan is proposed to dredge
thoroughly the muddy shadows ex-
posed by the tide and to protect the

II do not believe the war Is over by

follows: Governor, Llewellyn Powers;
congressman, First district, Thomas B..
Reed; Second, Nelson Dingiey; Third.
Edwin c. Burleigh; Fourth, Charles A.

comparative apathy on the part of the
Republicans, who felt secure. while the
Democrats, taking perhaps little
more interest. with an apparent desire
to make a better showing than in 1894
or 1885, put some vim into the cam

San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. l3.-
The two evacuation commissions held
an hours session yesterday and ad-
journed until tomorrow. The American
commissioners made known their po-
sition regarding the evacuation and
transfer of the island, in accordance
with their instructions from Washing
ton. These instructions they decline
to make public at present. az pub
licity might lead to embarrassment In
negotiations, but the Spanish commits
sioners did not disclose their positions
nor the nature of their instructions.
They manifested. however, willing
ness to secure as much expedition as
possible. and our commissioners are
much satisfied with the way In which
their demands have been informally
received. The adjournment gives the
Spaniards time to prepare their reply.
