HAVANA, June 23.-The unusually
heavy rains that had been falling
throughout Cuba caused yellow fever in
places where it had been unknown for
several years. Fortunately, except at
Santa Clara and Quemados, the United

Kean's is l;gaf. Mrs. Edmund's, wife

of her husbands death.
Havana had developed only three
cases, in spite Of the gloomy predictions
of what would occur as soon as the
rainy season, from which the city did
not suffer last year, was really at hand.

China is weak from center to cir
eumferenee, but she is notably weak
IN sea power. In this respect she
was greatly overmatched by Japan.
Like the Government of Siam, she is
particularly strong in useles YES
sells. She has few unarmored crui
sers and gunboats. and the bulk Of
her torpedo boats are OF the thirl
class. The harbors Of the great EN-
pire are practically naked to the
assaults of the world. With a weak
and puny army and a worthless IA
Wy, China presents an inert mass
that is ready to crumble almost al
