The contemplated designations Of
DR.. Wood, as president, and of Mr.
Geo. w. Smith. as member, of the
Board of Health have been before
the people so long that while regret
may be expressed no surprise is felt.
Both gentlemen in private life are
very busy men, and can i'll afford to
spare the time to attend to the
onerous official duties, which, as
public minded citizens, they have 80
long and ably discharged without
pay and in Dr. Woods case at, with
probably, serious pecuniary loss.
Dr. Wood has been eminently
energetic, able and square and de.
servedly merits the thanks of the
community.

twelve months to accomplish results. There
are moments of encouragement to the
men who have labored here Politics en-
tiers into all things with the Cuban people.
Private business interests pull and haul
at the work of the sanitary force both in
Havana and unfortunately from Washing
ton as well. II has been fortunate for The
reputation of the United States its present
political administration, and fortunate for
the people of Cuba that the direction of
the work was placed in the hands of the
officers of the Engineer Corps of the United
States army, for they hold their reputa-
tons for honesty and accomplishment as
above temporary political or financial
gain.
There have been mistakes made. Per-
sonal jealouses have perhaps sometimes in
5ured the esprit de corps; enemies have
been made of thrifty contractors with
strong political pulls. but with all this 1t
may be said that a marvellous work has
been well done, work which has set a
pace for the looked-for Cuban government
which 1t will need all its awakened enter
prise, adaptability and courage to main
tain.
Statement of the Health Department.
The health department has just issued an
interesting statement, showing the health
record of the city for 1899. The population
of Havana is estimated very closely, and is
believed to be about 295,O0O. During the
year 1890 there were s.153 deaths, or at the
rate of about thirty-six in the thousand
which is not very much larger than the
death rate of some of the largest American
cities Enteritis carried off 1, 165; malaria
SD; heart disease, 623: typhoid fever, 24O;
meningitis. 391; pneumonia, BOD; marasmus.
173, and cancer 49, There were 2S4 cases
of yellow fever, of which 103 were fatal

Spaniards, 16S Chinese, ZIG African negroes

once a week. The streets of the main part
OF the city are all swept once a day,
and some of the streets twice day. Many
of them are spriI killed. occasionally with
electrozone. a disinfectant made from sea
water, and some of the streets in the dense
ly popu'ated part of the city receive this
treatment daily. During the month of De-
cernber gpO loads of refuse were collected
from disinfected houses, seventy-twO large
loads of refuse Were lowed out to sea, and
S}6 tons burned. The barges Were loaded
with 800 wagon loads of sewer dirt.
tons of offal, 2.GO tons of night soil, and
100 tons of street refuse. All the streets
of the city are watered nearly every day.
In addition to this. nearly $4,000 wagon
loads of trash were hauled away from the
city during the same month.
Small Army of Cleaners.
To accomplish this work, 1t takes about
200 men and over 200 carts every day.
The cost is about the same, or perhaps
trine less, than the same work can be done
for in the larger cities of the United States.
The general plan of the work was inaugu-
rated by Brigadier General William Lud-
low, the military and civil governor of Ha-
yana- The details of the street department
were formulated and carried out by Col.
VIM. NJ. Black. who has Just been made

of Governor Wood He was assisted by
T. d. Cunningham, now acting chief
engineer of Havana, and w N McDon-

chief health officer who has charge of all
such matters in the city and under whose
direction all sickness is cared for and dis

Davis. His work has probably been the
most disagreeable of all, as he has carried
ii on at close personal range.

IN CHESS CIRCLES,

Tonight at the Young Mems Christian
Association a chess seance Will be held. in
which the players of that organization will
try conclusions in simultaneous exhibit
ton with Mr.. E. P. Hanna, who now holds
the title of honor in that pastime In the
District.
This event will be the first of a further
effort 10 interest the young men of the city
in clean sports and amusements on the
part CT this organization.
Chess has been of old one of the means
used in employing the minds of such as
came under their influence, and the desire
is to still further show its usefulness as "a
legitimate amusement and at the same
time cultvator of the faculties of cal
culation and prudence
To add to the natural emulation of the
chess player, suitable prize has been Of
fered to the player who first scores a vic
tory against the single player.
1t will b. Proper to caution the young
fellows to play the safest possible game
against this opponent, who is something of
a veteran in the game, and who in similar
exhibitions against the members of the
Washington Chess Club, embracing many
good players, won large percentage of his
games, and that he is not apt to be the
hrst victor WHO first finishes his game
Those interested in the organization and
the game are invited to be present at the
Y. NJ. c. A. building at I:3O this evening. at
which time the exhibition is scheduled to
begin.

may safely be assumed that the results
have been and will be vastly beneficial.
There have been more yellow fever cases
in the last December than in the Deem
Der Of the previous year. This has been
used as a basis for considerable criticism,
much of which comes from sources easily
recognized by those familiar with the sit
uation IN Havana. and to which little at
tention is paid Unfortunately this crid-
c!sm has found its way to the United
States, accompanied by statements not en-
tIrely supported by facts. and II has as
stunned greater Importance than 1t Is enti-
tied to.
Increase Of Yellow Fever.
The increase in the number of yellow
fever cases is admitted by the sanitary au-
thorities. but they attribute it to the re-
cent increase in Spanish immigration,
which Ii coincident and they also point to
the fact that large number Of the cases
