the people. The work Is being done over again, beginning with the school children The smallpox investigation has developed the fact that there are dozens of small hamlets and towns without medical officers of any. sort. This is particularly the case in the coffee district which was devastated by the cyclone in 1899. After the cy- clone the people were rendered too poor to support physicians. who de serted the small towns and fiocked to the cities. A fair estimate places the number of physicians in San Juan at over fifty. It was discovered that in one district. west of Arecibo, populat- ed by over 100000. there was not single medical man. The insular board of health are sending physicians into all these towns. who, with assistants, are vaccinating the people with fresh lymph prepared at the government station. Dr William Fawcett Smith. secretary of the superior board of health. says that the disease is so mild in form. and so well under control. that there is no cause whatever for alarm. There are but five cases in San Juan. Ponce still has sixty cases but the disease is gaining no headway there.

FOR EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
Painters and Paper Hangers Will
 Make Demand Monday.

Next Monday the painters and paper hangers of the city will demand an eight-hour work day. If the demand is not complied with the men will de- clare themselves on strike and the business of painting and paper hang ing will be completely stopped, so far as union shops are concerned. This means about every shop in the city, for all of them belong to the union.
 At regular meeting of the Painters and Paper Hangers union. held month ago. it was decided to make the above demand upon the bosses on April 1. This date will fall on next Monday. The bosses have already been notified of the action of the men, but thus far have not taken any or ganized action, though they have dis cussed the matter occasionally when half a dozen of them found them selves together. A painter informed a representative of this paper to-day that the demand would include higher wages also. but it appears that the man was mistaken on that point. for any of the bosses whom the reporter saw claimed that the question of wages had not entered into the matter at all.
 
 hangers work ten hours in this city. Their wages run from S2 to S2.3D a day. Complete unity among them was effected about two years ago. Up to that time the idea of combining was an indifferent one to them. Now they have representative in the highest councils of local organized labor. AL most all of the building trades in this city have work day of either nine or eight hours.
 The bosses will hold meeting some evening this week for the purpose of having their answer ready Tor the men when they report for work next Mon- day morning.
 It is reported everywhere that on May l the machinists will make an ef- fort to inaugurate q nine-hour work day in the factories. This movement will be a general one throughout the country.

SMASHED BY THE SEAS,
A French Line Steamer Has an Awful
 Experience for Two Days.

New York, March 2G-Battered by fierce seas and tossed about by terrific gales, the French line steamer La Gas cogne arrived this morning from Havre forty-eight hours overdue. She left Havre on March 16 at o'clock in the evening and had very fine weather until on the morning of the 21st, the wind from the northwest became vio- lent. The gale lasted throughout the following three days. Several times the steamer was obliged to turn and run before the fury of the blast. Great seas broke over the starboard side with enormous force, the life boats on the upper deck were wrenched from the dayits, smashed and rendered use less. Two of the life rafts were lifted bodily and dropped down upon the upper structure, smashing skylights and ventilators. The rafrs were stove in many places and damaged beyond repair. Fortunately, none of the passengers was hurt After the gales subsided the steamer proceeded on her way with calm weather and smooth seas to Sandy Hook lightship.
