conference here regarding the wireless tel
esraphy discovery and its possibilities, with
special reference to the exchange of govern
ment meteorological observations through

tirely tentative and the conclusion reached
was that its adoption for, this particular
purpose might be possible. but that in the
present stage of the discovery its practical
blllty was not certain.
Mai. Gen. John r. Brooke has forwarded
to the adjutant general copies of reports of
sanitary measures taken in the departments
of Santa Clara and Matanzas. These reports
show that the cities Of Santa Clara province
were in dirty and filthy condition when
the troops arrived, and it required a large
amount of labor and money TO place them in
good sanitary condition. There had been
seven cases of yellow fever among the troops
at Sanct Spiritus, with one death. The
source of the infection was an old church
formerly used by the Spanish soldiers as a
hospital Other buildings where there were
cases of smallpox and other diseases were
destroyed by the Americans. In Matanzas
rationS and medical supplies have been dis
tributed and the suffering greatly relieved.
