have become almost discouraged, and

the disease. Yet, Immediately after
this fact Ia announced, comes the report
from Santiago De Cuba that, for the first
time in hundreds Of years, that city has
been free from the pestilence for ~
entire twelyemOnth. In Santiago q
tremendous task OF publication hiss been
accomplished. All Of which seems 20
show that the exterminstion OF filth can
really be made effective in stamping out
the dreaded disease. IL will be remem-
bered that the late Col. Waring, who
contracted the disease which caused his
death while investigating the condition
OF Havana, inside ~ estimate that several
millions OF expense would have 70 be
incurred 70 put that city in good sanitary
condition.
