The discreet Filipino spy, Agoncillo,
now in Montreal, tells the Americans that
they have made a great mistake in drub-
bing the aggressive army of Aguinaldo. be-
cause the Filipino Commissioners just ar
rived at San Francisco probably had mat
ters of the utmost moment to present to
the Government at Washington from
Aguinaldo. 1t is hard to believe that
the little spy is as ignorant as he appears
to be. After so many vain efforts TO
effect communications with this Govern
ment, it does not seem TO have occurred
to him that the Secretary OF State and
the President might be entirely Indifferent
toSany message Aguinaldo might send.
General Otis appears TO be crowding the
Filipino army with the purpose Of laying
hands on the sef-appointed dictator. who
is hardly in a position to treat with this
Government on equal terms or on any
terms.

THE HEALTH OF HAVANA.
DIR. Doty Speaks of the sanitary Con-
dition of the City.

New York, Feb 12.-Dr. A. II. Doty,
Health Officer of the Port returned Satur-
day from Havana on the Ward Line steam
er Orizaba. On his way south DE- Doty
visited DR.. Hortbeck. Health Officer at
Charleston, and DR.. J. Y. Porter. Health
Officer of the State of Florida. whom he
met at Key West. From there he crossed
over to Havana, where he consulted with
his representative and the United States
Marine Hospital officials regarding quaran-
tine work during the coming season. DIR.
Doty also consulted with General Brooke
regarding sanitary matters, and also DR..
O'Reilly. chief surgeon of the Seventh
Army Corps. His interviews with these
were quite satisfactory. DIR. Doty states
there has been no radical change in the
sanitary condition OF the city. nor will
there be any until new sewerage system
is introduced and the streets are properly
graded and paved. The cleaning of Ha-
vanas streets has been of considerable
benefit.
General Brooke and General Ludlow are
making every possible effort to improve
the city's sanitary condition. but the means
under their control are inadequate for the
proper carrying out of the work. The pres
ent condition of the United States troops
in Havana is excellent. but 1t must be un-
derstood that at this season of the year
there is diminution OF both the sick and
death list. Dr. DOty believes it is a great
mistake that the families of the /
States troops are permitted TO go to Hav-
ana. There is no great danger at present,
but when warm weather sets in yellow
fever is sure to follow, and these people,
not being acclimated, will be in great dan
ger of contracting the disease, particularly
as many of the houses and apartments in
the city are infected with yellow fever.
Havana is an infected city. and always will
be until thoroughly severed.
Too much praise. DR.. Doty says, cannot
be given to General Brooke and his staI
for their earnest efforts TO clean the city.

Sampson ordered all the forward boilers

uncoupled. and, to the best of his ability,
made it impossible for them to make sue
cessful stern chase. He knew that Cervera
was practically certain to make run for

under the circumstances. he deliberately
reduced the steaming power of our ships

occasion the Spaniards had, withdrew the
right wing of the fleet leaving only Com

THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
Additions 10 the Garrisons at Port
Arthur and TnIien-Nan.

San Francisco, Feb. 12.-Advices from
the Orient state that the Russian govern
ment is pouring troops into Port Arthur
and Talien-W Wan on the ground that the
force now garrisoning those places is too
small in view of the apparent discomfort
OF the inhabitants of Lao -Tung PENN
sula, who have within the last two months
risen up against the Russians in thirteen
towns and districts.
No less than 5000 men have landed at
Port Arthur within month, and it is in
tended to add 5000 more before the end
of the Chinese first moon. making a full
army corps of some 5000, in addition to
the garrisons of 10 900 men for Port Arthur
and 8 900 for Talien- Wan.

inspectors 70 pass defective work. NO
private employer ever got more for his
money than General Wood. The local Off
cials were not allowed an authority that
would make it an advantage to anybody
TO brlbe them. So the spectacle. which
no American city has ever enjoyed, of
municipal administration entirely in the
interest of the public. with perfect clean
liness and other city work achieved with
out robbery, is presented in the quaint old
town where corruption had long since
ceased to excite indignation or even com
ment
Whether American good government
clubs can learn anything from the sue
cessful experiment at Santiago We do not
know. Editor Stead, who turned his at
tention TO municipal reform a few years
ago, and attempted to begin at Chicago dis
covered that the Americans are the most
conservative of civilized people and the
most averse to reforms. The evils which
he pointed out are obvious enough and
have been the subject of endless discus
sion by domestic reformers. He charges
us with lack of the spirit of republican
ism and cannot account for our federation
of municipal abuses except on the ground
of Indifference to bad government and an
incidence that has all the effects of timid
conservatism.
We are all aware that corruption and in
efficiency in city administration are pri-
marily due to the interference of national
political parties in local government. The
municipal corporation is established for
business purposes alone. National poll
tics and parties have no more proper right
to concern themselves with the election
of city officers than with the election of
the officers of a banking corporation. an
insurance company, or any business en-
terprise. Solely to strengthen the local
organization of the national party, citi-
zens consent to party control of the local
corporation and submit to such abuses as
are known to exist in New York, Phila-
delphia. Chicago. and perhaps every 9TH
fact the spirit of repubicanism. which
Mr.. Stead thinks We do not have.
Out of an intense admiration for
our national institutions has grown
that party loyalty that shuts our
eyes to the chief cause of bad city govern
ment. burning partisanship is char
acteristic of all Americans who are fully
alive and awake, and it is stronger than
self-interest and common sense. In every
community the people who are favorable
to good government and who have nothing
to gain, personally, by bad administra-
ton, are in majority. They could easily
overwhelm the element that is corrupt.
But they are not often able to put aside
their partisanship long enough to drive
out the rascals. It is the enthusiasm of
republicansm that is a blight on the mu-
nicipality. 1t is not because Americans
do not know how to remedy the evils; not
because they are Indifferent TO them, but
because when the hour comes they are
not strong enough to resist the appeals
of party leaders. Until the national parties
can be made to keep out of municipal
elections. many of the abuses that seem
SO absurd in an Intelligent community will
continue.

that the Americans intend to annex the
island regardless Of the sentiments of the
people.
1t is only fair to say that the great body
of the citizens apparently condemn the AS
sembly for its untimely demonstration of
vanity. If the American officers can sue
coed in winning the confidence of the hum
bier Cubans, the increasing animosity of
unemployed native generals and the poll
ticians can cause no serious trouble; but
so far all except those directly engaged in
the public service have been found to be
unstable in their trust and friendship.
