SANITATION IN HAVANA

From Major W. c. Gorgas, chief
sanitary officer Of lheHeadquarters De
partmentofCuba.we have ereceivedaco copy
OF his report Of vital statistics OF Ha-
Yana for the year 1900. with supple-
mentary reports covering themonths of
January, February and March, 1901.
The report for 1900 shows that yellow
fever stands eighth in the records Of
deaths for the year. tuberculosis with
S5l deaths, diarThoea and enterius
with SOC deaths, organic diseases Of the
heart with 443 deaths, meningitis with
1896 deaths, diseases Of the arteries with
S57 deaths malaria with 344 deaths
and pneumonia with 3l9 deaths. each
have caused a greater mortality than
yellow fever. Typhoid fever, diph-
liberia, smallpox and other epidemic
diseases, have caused a comparatively
small mortality. Tetanus played a
considerable part in the mortality Of
Havana.
Under the heading OF yellow fever re-
port It is STAGED that Of the 1,244 cases.
s20 We're Spaniards, with a death-rate
slightly above the average death-rate
for the city, which was 24.9O per cent
while among the Americans there were
235 cases with a death-rate Of a liule
over "a per cent, very much below this
average. OF the cases occurring. about
two-thirds had been in Cuba less than
one year, the large majority OF these
being recently arrived Spanish immi-
grants. The immigration has been
very large, the last four months Of the
year giving a little more than 1000.

GOOD TICKET; SIGNAL VICTORY

With nearly seventeen thousand men
qualified by registration to vote at the
city election, it is now merely a mat
ter OF getting them out 70 vote IN June.
With this end in view, the Republican
leaders in every ward should devote
their time and energy untiringly from
now until the polls close on a sweeping
victory for municipal reform and good
government. The Democracy is abso-
lutely defenseless. Its conduct Of the
city's affairs during the last two years
has been Of such character as to array
the taxpayIng classes generally against
Il. With an apparent deficit OF more
than $50, 900, and a real deficit OF more
than 100000 and with nothing out
OF the ordinary to show therefor, no
excuses can be offered which will be ao-
cepted by the taxpayers who are to
have their burdens increased as a pen
atty for Democratic incompetency and
extravaganza.
The Democratic order of the day is
increased bonded indebtedness; in
creased floating Indebtedness; Increased
tax rate and defeat
So let the Republican voters make
up their minds now TO come out in
force on Saturday and nominate
good ticket and then come out again
in June in even greater numbers and
elect It, The public interest demands

house in the city was inspected three
times during the year Each Of these
Inspections involved a careful report
on a printed form More than half the
houses were actually cleaned by the
cleaning brigades. The result of this
work is plainly perceptible. not only in
the decreased mortality, but in the very
clean general condition of the interior
OF the houses.
The measures. sanitary and other
wise. taken by the American authori-
ties with a view Of improving the
health Of the city, have been most emf
nently successful; that this work has
reduced the death-rate of 1898, the last
year OF Spanish rule. from 9l.O3, which
represents 21,252 deaths, to 24.4O, rep
.resenting 6.102 deaths; that the meth
DDS being pursued have caused a steady
Improvement in the sanitary conditions
Of Havana; that during the last year
We have decreased the death-rate from
1907 representing S,153 deaths, TO

deducting from this the actual number
OF deaths 1926. which has occurred in

The sanitary improvement hereto

The number of deaths. 476, Is the
smallest that has occurred in any jan

years, the next lowest being that Of
January, 1890, when there were 4SG
deaths, the highest being that Of
January, 1897 when there were 1,55G
deaths and an average OF S29 deaths
1t is therefore, ten less than the small
est, 1,OSO less than the largest, and 1853
less than the average.
In comparing the death-rate, a sun
better showing is made. The rate for
January, 22.75, was considerably less
than the lowest for the past twelve
years, 1894 being the next lowest. with
rate of 27.86 In 1899, as shown by
the report they had a rate for January
Of G3.s4; in 1900. 1880. and this year.
22.74. The rate for last year was 244O.
Yellow fever has decreased from G2 to
