Washington, January a-The time OF
the House will be fully occupied from
this time forward until the conclusion
Of the season. Appropriation bills which
are already In an unusually advanced
stage. are to be kept to the fore, but
there ID a deal of other important legisla-
tion which win press forward ut every
opportunity. Perhaps the most import.
ant single measure Is the bill for ths re-
organization of the army. 1t was the
general understanding before the recess
that this bill would be given considerA-
tion Immediately after the holidays, but
the illness Of Chairman Hull Of the mill
tary affairs committee will delay this
measure until he is sufficiently recovered
to attend the sessions Of the House. His
illness will also delay the military acsds-

eldest son Of Ufzul Khan and nephew of
the Amesr Shere All. During the civil
war in 1854 in Afghanistan ne played q
leading part ON the side OF his father
against his uncle and gained several bat
ties. The great victories of kelet-I-
Ghilzai was mainly due to his ability.
He was entrusted with the govsrnorship
OF Balkh, where he made himself popular

daughter Of the chief Badakshan In
1858, however. he was unable to offer q
successful resistance to his cousin,
Vakoub Khan. son of Shere Ali, who
defeated him at Bajgah. near Bamain,

FILTH UNDERSTANDABLE.
What the Late Col. Waring Found
in Havana.
STATE OF AFFAIRS ALMOST
BEYOND BEL lEF.

| About All the street Cleaning that was
Done was Done by Burnsrds--Dead
Bodie. Allowed TO Lay Around the
streets.
Washington, January s.-The war de-
partment division of customs and insular
affairs made public today very full
synopsis of the late Colonel George A.
Warnings report Of his visit to Havana
under the special instructions OF the war
department given him esrly last autumn
to thoroughly inspect the sanitary condi-
ton Of the city and to make such recon-
mendations for tho future improvement
of the town as might be suggested BY
said inspection.
Colonel Warnings report found the street
cleaning without adequate organization
or funds and the markets offensive and
dan gerously filthy for the distribution of
food with the exception Of two. the Taoon
and Colon markets. He also found the
machinery used for sweeping the streets
ineffective, the garbage being thrown
into the streets In entire disregard OF the
ordinance requiring 1t to be set out In
proper receptaoles. The W ork Of the con-
tractor was all done In the latter part Of
the night and absolutely in ths dars.
Foul pools were found in he streets in
which rubbish and filth had been depos-
tied which the contractor was not re-
quired to cleln. This alth was turned
over to the buzzards. Some Of the streets
in the compact part Of the city are paved
with large stone blocks others with Bel
gian blocks and the remainder are un-
paved. These streets are filled with dirty
holes which in turn are filed up with
house garbage. There is practically no
sewage. In many cases householders
connsct their private vaults with loose
brick or stons drains just under the pave
ment along their frontage. These allow
the liquid filth to leach out into the
ground close to the surface, enabling the
householder to get out OF much hlv ing OF
night scavengers to bail out and carry
accumulations. Slaughtering pens, while
specifically clean are brutally disgusting
while the work Is going on. Bloc and
offal are washed by copio us fioodings
from the water supply into an adjoinir
creek and harbor reeking with putrid
filth. There Is no sy stematic disposal Of
garbage and sewerings. 1t il deposited
on the surface in IND near the town
where the buzzards feast on 1t to their
full satisfaction. 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
comparable with the disgusting oondi-
tions of the domestic life. There are
fewer than 10000 houses in the city.
Sixteen are of one story 200 are of three
stories and a very few are of four stories
and none higher. At least twelve ont

the statement of people who have just

Is no truth in the report that the Spanish

are not more than half dozen Spaniards
on the island and that all who have been
Killed fell In warfare.
