Surgeon General Sternberg Goes 70 Havana to
Investigate Hospital Facilities.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Surgeon General
Sternberg left here. today. for two
weeks trip to Havana and nearby points
in Cuba. to examine into military hospital
facilities and decide which of the Spanish
hospitals we fan heir9to shall be used by
our troops and W. It additional hospital
facAlities will be NECESSARY. On his way
TO Havana Gen. Sternberg will stop at
Sayannah to inspect the new hospital and
supply depot there.
The condition of the troops in CuDa, ac-
cording to the most recent report Gen.
Sternberg has rSeeived, Is excellent, but
months which will intervene before the
unhealthy season arrives that every
preparation should be made to provide
for any contingency which may then
arise. Five Spanish civil and military.
hospitals have been turned over to us in
Havana. but Gen. Sternberg is of opinion
that only one of thean-the .AlphonsO XIII
will be aVoilabe for our use. 1t is q
modern hospital, built in 1896, and has a
capacity of 1000. but on occasions 1900
have been crowded into it.
There are now many Spaniards sick in
this hospital and -itrts probable that We
will not be able to Immediately obtain
complete possession. The San Ambrose

whether any use will b made of any of
them, and whatever other hospital ac-
comnaodations, are needed will have to b.
built. "A yellow fever hospital and sup
ply depot for Havana have already been
decided upon.

England's Policy in Jamaica ,ccntrasted With
that Of Spaia in Cuba.

Washington. Jan. 3-Robert p. Porter.
the special commissioner of the treasury
department has made report to the
secretary on the economic and business
conditions in the island of Jamaica and
their application to Cuba. With the
American fruit market inadequately sup
piled and the English market practically
untouched, Mr.. Porter thinks that there
is hope in Cuba, and especially In Santi-
ago province, for diversified industries
created by rapid transportation.
In the financial administration of ia
maica. one of the principal items of eX-
penditure is the maintenance of public
roads. England has discovered that good
roads are not only important factors in
keeping order but also the basis of in
dustrial development an. prosperity. Mr..
Porter says here may be found a good
illustration of Englands policy in con-
trast with that of Spain in Cuba. where
no money was spent on roads. all of
which are in a deplorabe condition, as
during the last IA years England expend-
ed for main and parochial roads SS,321, 2O5

bursed.

cUBA'S CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
Will Necessarily Have to Be Sent 10 Havana
for Apportionment.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The objection of
the citizens of Santiago to the execu-
ton of the war department programme
requiring the customs collections at that
port and all other Cuban ports to pc
sent to Havana, has brought the war
department face to face with another
Of the many problems connected with
the administration of affairs in Cuba
that requires speedy settlement. The
order is felt to be absolutely necessary,
the interests of good government re-
quiring that there should be but one
responsible head to the customs service
in Cuba. 1t was pointed out at the war
department, today, that, if Santiago
at one end of the island and Havana
near the other were allowed tOs keep
receipts, such provinces as Puerto
Principe and Pinar del Rio would be
without funds to make any public i'm
provements.
The official are disposed to allow each
of the military commanders of the
seven departments into which Cuba
is now divided to submit acquisitions
based upon estimates of cost Of such
public works as sanitation, harbor I'M
provcments and road and bridge build
ing as is deemed desirable to UNDER
take. The cabinet which Gen. Brooke
is about to call to his assistance IN
the administration of the island will
| probably examine into these neeessi-
ties and propose an allotment of the
total customs collections and internal
revenue taxation in proportion to the
/ need of the communities and in ac-
4 cordance with the principles Of Justice
and good government. In all likelihood
these allotments will require the APP
| prevail of the secretary Of war.
In the case OF Santiago it is the be-
lief of one of the highest officials of
the war department that the transfer
Of money from that SUPPORT to Ha-
vana viii almost be nominal for the
needs of the province at large probably
will absorb the greater part of the ac-
tual cash. The whole subject is now
under consideration. falling directly
within the purview of Assistant Sec
rotary Meikiejohn and some order on
the subject may be expected at an
early date.

DAYS after he had partaken of some

booker Athletic Club by some unknown
persdn.
Dr* Douglass gives the details of Mr..
Bernet's illness and death and says:
II believe that Mr.. Barnet died OF
heart failure following diphtheris
which heart failure was brought on by
undue exertion. / do not believe that
any mercurial poison contributed in
the least to cause his DEATH"
Capt. McClusky, tonight, had in his
possession the package containing the
remainder of the powders which Mr..
Barnet left when he died. This pack
age was sealed and Capt. McClusky

phases, but said that he did not ex-
pect to affect any arrest in the case at
once.

TINE FAST MAIL TRAINS

Both Trains Ahead Of Time.

| Dmaha, Neb., Jan. 3.-The new fast
nil trains on the Burlington & North

rmenal runs from Chicago without
Acial incident. today. The Burling-
N pulled into the terminal station
f! CHIT minutes ahead of schedule time.

cad wind all of the way and both the
fews are confident that even better
tme can be made il they are called up
| IN to do SO. The Rock Island train
Hoes not start until next Sunday.
In addition to the sustained speed Of
these two trains being remarkable, over
% miles an hour for the distance. there
were some still more remarkable bursts
pr speed during the trip. On the Burling-
ton the best time made was from Chicago
10 Burlington, where several stretches
were covered at the rate OF 80 miles an
that. The fastest run on the Northwest
ern was made between Arion and Area.
dia, Iowa. Here there is a straight, level
track for Is miles, and the mile posts
were left behind at the rate OF one every
81 seconds.
Every fast mile recorded. including the
New York Centrars record for ntile IN
hour, made in 1893, was broken on the
trip. The distance frcm iding TO Arion.
2 4-l0 miles, was made in minute and %
seconds, or at the rate of 100 miles per
hour. -Four stop watches caught the
time. which. however. will not go on REC
ord. there being no speed indicator on the
engine The actual time from the start
was as follows: Northwestern, 49, miles
with is stops. hours and s. minutes;
Burlington. 5O2 miles with u stops, 10
hours and minutes. fSl-
The greatest run was made by the east
hound train on the Burlington. which left
here. last night, one hour late, arriving
in Chicago only four minutes late, and
the schedule time Is 80 minutes faster

KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Custom House Inspector
Made Well of a Serious
Trouble by Dr.. Clarke's
Red-IrOn-PillS.

Any one Of the vital organs Of the body are
liable to break down when the blood is dis
ordered or the nerves are deranged. Impure
blood and deranged nerves generally go hano
in hand. A serious complication Of some or
all Of the organs Of the body generally follows
such state of the hood and nerves.
When you find something is radically
wrong, You should make up your mind that
the cause may be found with your nerves and
blood. Cure the cause and you will cure the
result.
There is no medicine that will SO quickly,
safely and surely purify the blood, strengthen
and invigorate the nerves and give tone to
every one of the organs of the body, as DIR.
Clarke's Red -Iron-Pils. The following letter
from Mr.. 7. McGilicuddy, an inspector in
the Boston Custom House, is of interest in
this connection. He writes as follows
"For long time l have been sufferer
from kidney trouble and nervousness. My
position as n. Inspector in the Boston Gus.
tom House demanded unusual hours. was
obliged to stand most Of the time on my feet.
suffered intense pains in the back and my
nerves were completely unstrung. was ad-
vised to try DR.. Clarke's Red-Iron- Pills.
They worked to my benefit instantly. Their
action was wonderful. heartily recommend
them to all sufferers"
There is food for thought in the above letter.
IT more people would follow the advice given
there, we would hear of many less untimely
deaths. Red-Iron-Pills can he bought of all
druggists, so cts. box, six boxes for $3.50,
