After the adjournment of the Senate
Friday afternoon the committee held a
meeting in one OF the committee rooms.
The general belief was that the list of
nominations would be approved with
out delay, and a report TO that effect
be prepared. but such did not prove to
DE the case. certain members OF the
committee setting up vigorous com
plant against TWO OF the names which
were included ia the list OF nomina-
tons A long debate followed. and
when the meeting broke up late In the
afternoon nothing had been accom-
plished. one OF the members was in
structed to call upon Governor Adams
for the purpose OF asking an explana
ton from the chief executive as to his
selection of the two persons In qucs-
ton. The call WAS made Saturday. and
the governor explained his reasons for
making the appointments. The senator
retired from the executive chamber. but
whether or not the explanation which
he received was OF "A nature calculated
to quell the uprising in the committee
Is unknown. The report this morning
will settle the question.

CONDITIONS in HAVANA.
Colonel waring's report Presents Horrs-
BILE Detalis.

Washington. Jan. 9.-The War De-
partment division of customs and in
sular Affairs made public to-day very
full synopsis Of the late George A.
Warnings report OF his visit to Havana
under the special instructions Of the
War Department given him early last
autumn to thoroughly inspect the sani-
tary condition of the city and to make
such recommendations for the future
improvement of the town as might be
suggested by said inspection.
Colonel Waring says he found the
street-cleaning department without ad.
equate organization or funds, and the
markets offensive and dangerously
filthy for the distribution of human
food, with the exception of two, the
Tacon and Colon markets. He also
found the machinery used for sweep
ing the streets Ineffective.
Foul pools were found in the streets
into which rubbish and filth had been
deposited. which the contractor was
not required to clean. This filth was
turned over to the buzzards. Some OF
the streets in the compact part of the
city are paved with large stone blocks,
and the remainder are unpaved. These
streets are filled with dirty holes
which are in turn filled up with house
garbage.
There is practically no sewerage. In
many cases households connect their
private vaults with loose brick or stone
drains just under the pavement along
their frontage. These allow the liquid
filth to leach out into the ground close
to the surface, enabling the household
err to get out of much hiring of night
scavengers to bail out and carry away
nccumulations.
Slaughtering pens, while specifically
clean. are brutally disgusting while the
work is going on. Dead dogs, cats and
chickens are left in the streets until
the buzzards pick them to the skeleton.
And, all this is done under an intense
sun. Bad as these conditions are, they
are not comparable with the disgusting
conditions OF the domestic life.
The water supply of Havana, says
Mr.. Waring, Is of the purest and most
excellent character. This, with the
winds OF the gulf save the city from
being absolutely and unqualifiedly bad
The city is yeritable plague spot.
Colonel Waring makes a number OF
recommendations for reform.
