WASHINGTON, May 29.-The report of
General Brooke, of Havana, of no deaths
from the 9th is matter of congratulation
for the army medical department. The sani-
tary outlook in Cuba just now is set forth
in some detail in letter received here from
Colonel O'Reily. chief medical officer in
Cuba. All of the projected hospitals have
been completed, except that in Pinar del
Rio, which is now we'll under way. Havana,
Santa Clara. Santiago and Matanzas are all
now supplied with well-equipped hospitals
and efficient forces of medical officers. The
season, so far, has been unusually dry and,
consequently, favorable to the health of the
troops. II is expected that a certain amoun.

after the rainy season sets in, but with a

Is entertained of epidemic. The troops

GRAVES TO BE DECORATED.
Victims Of the Virginius Tragedy
Will BE RENE membered.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 29.-Decora-
tion day will be elaborately observed here,
Notwithstanding the fact that there are few
graves of American soldiers in this part of
Cuba. Joseph CT. Saunders has arranged an
impressive ceremony 20 be carried out over
the graves of the victims of the Virginius
tragedy of 1873, when some thirty Ameri-
cans and six British subjects with many Gu
bans, who were conveying assistance to the
Cuban insurrection on the American schoon-
er Virginius, were captured by the Spanish
gunboat Tornado and soon afterward shot
by the Spanish. The graves have been To-
Gated with considerable difficulty by Major
Saunders. a near relative of a member of
the unfortunate crew. Flags will float at
half mast, salute will be fired at noon and
regimental band will play dirge.
Mr.. Lloyd, deputy collector AT Guantana-
no. has arranged for ceremonies there. The
Cubans are favorabIy impressed with the
idea of decorating the graves of their own
soldiers and will probably do this to some
extent.

SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO. May %
Governor General Davis has issued orders
to the customs officials to permit the entry
into Porto Rico of goods of any person ON
payment of the ordinary duties. This rul.
ing is the result of long-standing contro-
versy between the authorities and the Cuban
Pan-American Express Company which
claimed that the customs officers, under the
new regulations, had no right to enforce
import licenses and taxes imposed by the
insular authorities. The ruling of Governor
General Davis is regarded with the greatest
favor by business men, who can now import
their goods without the prohibitive restric-
tions of the insular government.

OTIS WILL NOT REST.
VIII Continue His Campaign Despite
the Rainy Season.

NEW YORK, May pa dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: General Otis
says, contradicting the general impression,
that the campaign against the Filipino in
surgents will be prosecuted by the American
forces with the utmost aggressiveness pos
sible during the rainy season. General Law
ton is of opinion that early settlement
of the present troubles and the close of hos
tilites depend largely on the Americans
giving rigid protection TO the working classes
in their peaceful occupation, while waging
incessant war against the armed forces Of
the enemy from this time forth by means of
guerrilla warfare. He will show the in
surgents. by vigorous action on the rivers,
lakes and mountains, that their belief that
our troops cannot campaign in the rainy
seasons or in the midst of mountains is
untrue. Later it is possible that the chang
ing conditions may demand garrisoning by
districts, that the valuable part of the
island will be safe for the investment Of
capital and the prosecution of industries
until the Americans are completely domi-
nant. Quick transportation of the cavalry
and the pack mules is desirable as means
Of rounding up the insurgents
