DEATH RATE DECREASING-DANGER FROM
POX-INSUFFICIENT IN
SPECTION

Washington Jan. Is (SpeciaD.- Surgeon General
Wyrnan has received a report from Sanitary In
spector Drummer at Havana. dated January I, from
which the following extracts taken:
The death rate continues to decrease. This Is
due TO the almost complete disappearance OF the
Spanish Army and some efforts to make the city
mechanically clean The only death from yellow
fever in the week occurred In the ranks OF the
sick Spanish soldiers. The deaths from all pre-
ventabie diseases show encouraging decrease.
There Is an increasing number of cases OF grip.
and cases are reported on some OF the vessels now
lying In the harbor
II would be well 10 state here In view OF the
fact that bills of health are issued to vessels Of
the Navy on the statements OF their medical ON
GERS and without inspections OF the ships crews
