nearly 5000 wagon loads of rubbish
were removed from the city. and the
water, milk, liquor, and nearly every
staple article of food was anaIyzed by
the American chemists
During the last month of the wear
there were 534 deaths from all causes
Twenty-Five of these deaths were from
yellow fever, there being seventy cases.
Fifty of the cases were Spaniards, one
was Cuban and twelve were Ameri-
cans. OF the fifty Spaniards ten died.
The Cuban died. and of the twelve
Americans six died. These cases are
carefully investigated, and it has been
found that nearly all of the Americans
who die of the yellow fever are men in
the habit of drinking considerable al
coholic liquor.
The emigration and immigration fig
ures for1S99 show some rather unusu-
al features. These figures do not in
clude the movement of any soldiers,
either American or Spanish. During
the year there were Pills departures
for the United States, 1890 for Spain,
and about $500 for other countries, or
total departure of about $4,000 people.
In the same time there were $4,000 ar
rivals,or a gain to the population of the
island of about 10000 people. From
the United States there were $4,000 ar
rivals, from Spain about 10000, and

The friends of Webster Davis, anus
ed in the beginning at the tempest in
a teapot his visit to South Africa oc-
casioned, are gradually becoming
alarmed at the criticism it has inspired,
and fear that through some uncon
sidered word or action his official head
may be endangered. He is not diplo-
matist, they say--his career in the In
terror Department, indeed, where he
was in a frequent state of warfare with
both superiors and subordinates,
would not lead one to suspect
him a master of the gentle
calling of diplomacy - and may
be led into doing something that will
embroil not only himself but the coun-
try. Mr. Davis is, therefore, being i'm
portuned over the cable by family,
friends and well wishers to be cautious,
and is reminded that one of his subor-
dinates, through too much zeal for the
Boer cause, was suddenly but effectual-
| ly decapitated.
The true story of Mr.. Davis pilgrim
age to Cape Town is that, worn out by
the onerous duties of his position,
which is truly one of the most exact
! ing in the Government, he sought rest
| and recreation in long ocean voyage
| to South Africa, led thither by the in
teresting scenes being enacted there
and by the invitation of his cousin,
General Stowe, who represents the
United States at Cape Town.
There is one thing needed in Cuba

that is, schools. When any one asks
me what is most wanted there, l say
schools; when any one asks me what is

schools, and every one who has the
interest of the island at heart thinks
the same. The Cuban children are
bright enough to learn, but they are
wofully neglected, not on account OF
the war merely, but because the Span

their youngsters is quite different from

MR.. WILSON'S WORK FOR TARIFF


We have long regarded Mr.. Wilson's
appearance to close the debate on his
tariff reform bill as one of the finest in
cidents in the history of the house, and
probably equalled by nothing since Will
liam Pitt was carried to the House of
Commons to deliver his speech denoun-
cling the war on the American colonies.
Mr.. Wilson was still weak from the
ravages of fever. In addition to that,
he suffered most painful neuralgia
attack. But on August 10, 1894, he was
helped to the House of Representatives,
and he made the closing appeal to his
colleagues in favor of reduced taxation.
With his throbbing head swathed in
bandages, and with his eyes covered
from the light by handkerchief, and
with every fibre of his body either weak
ened by disease or palpitating with pain,
he stood in the house and reminded his
colleagues, in the words of Burke, that
the "battles of civilization were fought
around the question of taxation" and
summoned the democratic members to
answer the roll call of freedom which
the Wilson bill, with all it's imperfec.
tions, granted the American citizen.
The scene was one that will not be for
gotten by anyone who witnessed it, He
sat down amid the widest enthusiasm on
the floor and in the galleries, and sub
mitted himself to the almost hysteric
embraces of his friends. He had done
something for human freedom. He had
lifted some of the burden of taxation
from the shoulders of the American
people. He had led congress in step
towards civilization. What pity that
sordid and selfish interests have con.
spired by the aid of accidental circum-
stances to reverse that step.-Utica Oh.
