DISPATCH FROM OTIS.

Evidently of Enough Importance to Call
for an Immediate Conference.
WASHINGTON, jan, 10.-The war de-
partment has received another dispatch
from Major General Otis, commanding
the United States troops in the Philip
pines. The officials observe unusual
reticence with respect to its contents,
but it is understood the information
contained is not Of an unfavorable char
acter or such as to give undue concern
to the administration. So far as the Of
fcials are willing to admit the dispatch
shows no material change in the condi-
tions existing at the time Of previous
advices. One cabinet officer said it con-
tanned nothing of character alarming
serious or exciting. There had been no
collision with the insurgents, he added,
and not shot had been fired. The dis
patch. however, is believed to have
been of sufficient Importance to be
brought to the immediate attention Of
the president and later Secretary Alger,
Secretary Long and the president were
in conference at the White House pre-
sumably on this matter. General Miller
has been ordered to land the troops
under his command now on the trans
ports there, but the dispatch from Gen
eral Otis did not indicate whether this
had been done or not

PROMPT ACTION NECESSARY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The war de-
partment has made public a synopsis of
the late Colonel George "A. Warnings re-
port Of his visit to Havana under the
special instructions Of the war depart
ment, given him early last autumn, to
inspect the sanitary condition of the
city and to make such recommends
tons for the future Improvement of the
town as might be suggested.
Colonel Waring condemns the street
cleaning system as inadequate and those
in charge Of it as incompetent. No at
ttention, public or private, is paid to the
lawsof sanitation. To make matters
worse, dwellings are
Crowded to a Dangerous Degree,
the average population for every house
in the city being over 10. Broad
marshes near the harbor are constant
source of malaria, and into these is
dumped the sewage Of the city.
The water supply Of Havana, says Mr..
Waring, is of the purest and most ex-
cellent character. This. with the winds
of the gulf, save the city from being abb
solutely and unqualifedly bad. The
conditions, says Mr.. Warning, will carry
the terrible scourge Of yellow fever to
our shores unless we rise in a war for
humanity and wipe out an enemy with
which no military valor can cope.
In conclusion Colonel Waring says:
''Would it not be wise to accept the fact
at once that we are
Confronted with Danger
compared with which war is insignifi-
cant and proceed to meet it and con-
quer it while we may? We cannot
afford to wait until we have fed it and
strengthened it with the lives Of our
people, The necessary reforms call for
costly work even now. But months of
delay will render them more costly and
more imperative. We can set about
these reforms now calmly and Judi
ciously. Later, under the, impulse Of
panic, we should work at far greater dis
advantage" u. &
The improvements which, in his
Judgment, are absolutely necessary to
make Havana healthy city are set
forth in detail in Colonel Waring's re-
port. They include awell organized
Department of Public Cleaning
under single commissioner; the con-
structions of complete sewer system; a
completely appointed abattoir; the re-
paving Of all streets with asphalt; a
suitable and sufficient cremating plant
for garbage and sweepings, and the re-
claiming of all the marshes.
Colonel Waring states that tits not
possible. from the data now available,
to estimate the cost of all the work
needed, save to say it will be over 49,
100000. It is estimated, says Colonel
Warning, that single epidemics intro.
duced into the United States from Ha.
vana have cost the Mississippi valley
alone $1OO,O09.0 600 in loss to industry
and commerce, aside from the loss Of
life.
