Cienfuegos bears the usual testimony
to the efficiency of American admins
tration in Cuba. There have been SOL
deaths in the city since January /, as
compared with 1868 during the CORE
spending period of 1898. Appalling as
was the mortality in Cuba under the
reconcentrado system, it was never
small even in time of peace. The rev.

logically result in a rapid increase of
the population.

1t is perhaps untrue that the kidnap-
ping of the Clark baby in New York
was planned and carried out by some
one of the yellow journals of that
city, in order to have a sensation all
to itself. But the fact that a story to
that effect has found large credence in
New York, and that at least one promi-
nent detective openly avows his belief
in its truth, shows the general disre-
pute into which such sheets have fall
en-. Yellow newspapers are a blight

lieve them capable of every infamy.
