bureau Of yards and docks. has received
the report Of the special board headed by
Commander George A. Converse. which
was appointed to R5ok into certain disagree
ments between thencontractors and the Ma
wy Departments concerning the construction

partment was willing to allow. The board,

bers. an increase of $3.50, 900 for the building
OF the stone concrete dock. this still being
within the limit of cost allowed in the APP
preparation. The board also recommends
that the dock shall retain its original size.

reviewed the report. but will take no action
upon 1t for several days. during which time
the contractors will be given opportunity
TO express their views upon the findings of
the board.

PLATTSBURGH, n. Y, December o.

out of the arrest Of Frank Coolidge, an
Italian, for the murder of John Julian at
Alhurgh, Vt, on Wednesday last. Alburgh
Is only three miles from Rouses Point N.
Y, and about the same distance from
Lacolle, Quebec.
After the murder Coolidge went to La
cole. where he was found and arrested by
Constables from Rouses Point, in New York
state. He is now in Plattsburgh jail and
refuses to go to Vermont, in which state
the murder was committed, unless requsi-
ton papers are procured. Canadian Off

the affair, as they claim Coolidge was ar
rested in Canada by United States officers

HEALTHFLLNEss OF CUBA.
Erroneous Impression Regarding
Sanitary Condition of the Island.


General Wood commanding the depart
ment of Cuba, has written letter to the
adjutant general OF the army for the pur-
pose of correcting an erroneous impression
in the public mind concerning the existing
sanitary condition OF Cuba.
1.-The island is,. says he, "as a whole, free
from epidemic contagious diseases at
present, with the sole exception Of Havana,
where there still remain a few cases Of
yellow fever. though not enough to receive
serious consideration. The total death rate
from all causes in the city of Havana for
the month of November was the lowest Of
any month, without regard to season, for
the past ten years. Inasmuch as appre-
tensions arising out Of the yellow fever
situation of the past summer still remain
1t may be advisable to give this subject
general publication in order that full COM
nercial and other relations with the island
may be resumed.
