UNFIT FOR HABITA1YON.
Surgeon Harris DenOunces Sanitation
COnditiOms on the Albany.

Conditions on the Albany.
In the opinion of naval surgeons, the Z.
s. S. Albany, of the ships of the Euro
pean station, and now at Genoa. Italy, is
unfit for habitation by sailors and officers
Of the navy. Surgeon Harris, recently at
tached to the Albany, and now on the Mon
ocacy, in report to the surgeon general of
the navy upon the condition of the Albany
says that from sanitary point of view this
ship is so radically wrong as regards con-
struction that it is almost impossible to
relate in detail the necessary changes
which will have to be made before she can
became reasonably sanitary vessel. With
the large complement required for the deck
and engineer force of the ship, he says,
the space is not sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of health for the crew. The en-
tire berth deck from the engine room for
ward needs ventilation from the deck. Ar
tificial ventilation would improve the con-
dltlon OF the warrant officers quarters, the
ward room, mess room, as well as adjacent
rooms. Surgeon Harris states that the Sys-
tenn or ventilation by means of which fresh
air could be forced into the different parts
OF the vessel should be installed.
In conclusion the surgeon says:
1T is impossible to overestimate the dan
ger to the health of those who are berthed
IN the wing passages should the weather
require the ship to be battened down for
several days. With the temperature of 1856
degrees F, 1t is obvious that people could
not live In these places. The reason that
the health of the crew of this ship has
been about the average since she went into
commission is, in the first place, that she
mas never had her full complement of men
aboard her, and in the second place, that

Indication of the Presidents Polio
Shown by the Promotion.

SHOWN ny the OmOt1On.
Gen. Crozier, the new chief of ordnance,
who has been stationed in New York city,

pointment of Gen. Crozier Is subject OF

age and he was advanced over twenty
eight senior officers. His selection shows
for one thing that the President no longer
recognizes the right of promotion by senior
ity. The significance of that policy at this
time lies in the fact that there now exists
two vacancies in the list of brigadier gen.
erals. which, under the law, may be filed
by the President at his pleasure.
Usually such appointments have gone to
colonels of the line of long and distinguish
ed service, but the friends of candidates of
that rank are now afraid that the Presi-
dent may ignore their claims altogether
and select two junior officers. going as far
down the line as captains. There are preca-
General Wood and Brigadier Generals Bell
and Kobbe. 1t is said that Secretary Root
favors the appointment of Lieut.. Col. Car
ter of the adjutant generals office, who is
acting as his military secretary, as a briga-
der general
Another important point said to be set
tied by the selection of General Crozier is
that appointments chiefs of bureaus are
to be confined to officers permanently at
tached to those bureaus under existing law
and are not to be filled by detail from the
line until the present organization of the
staff departments has termina ted under the
provisions of the reorganization act.

YELLOW FEVER CONQUERED
NOT A CASE IN HAVANA DURING THE
MONTH OF OCTOBER.
Result Achieved by Waging War on
the MOsquitO-Example for
Southern Cities.

Surgeon General Sternberg has received
a report from Major w. c. Gorgas of the
medical department, chief sanitary officer Of
Havana, showing a great improvement in
the sanitary condition of that city as indi-
Gated by the fact that there had not been
a single case of yellow fever in the city
during the month of October, usually the
severest month for that disease. During
the past ten years the average number Of
deaths during the month of October of
yellow fever was 66.27 In October. 1896,
there were 24O deaths, and % in 1899, the
lowest previous rate in the past decade.
In October, 1900, there were sos cases and
"A deaths This year there were no cases
and no deaths.
''The great truth that yellow fever"
says Major Gorgas, "is transmitted by the
stegomyia mosquito, maintained by DR..
Charles Finlay against much ridicule for
so many years and recently demonstrated
by the army board, must soon change all
our methods Of quarantine in the United
States. In Havana this year We have
worked upon the hypothesis that the mos
quito is the only way of transmitting the
disease We have not considered fomites
in any way Clothing has not been dis
infected nor any effort made except to
kill the mosquitoes, which had bitten a sick
person, and to prevent any more mosquitoes
Our results with this plan were so posi-
tive that we soon saw that we could not
only rid Havana of yellow fever on these
lines, but that we could destroy each focus
it was removed from the outside.
The practical application of this great
truth, made in Havana this year, will
within a few years, 1t seems to me, be
carried out by our southern cities liable to
yellow. fever. 1t seems to, me that If in
Havana, where yellow fever has been cpl
demic for $50 years, and where at present
there is a non-immune population of some
where in the neighborhood of 10000 peo-
pie we cannot only get rid of yellow fever,
but have free communication with a half
dozen infected towns in our neighborhood,
and yet prevent the Introduction of the dis
ease, then all our southern cities ought
more easily to do the same thing.
THE general health of the city is most
excellent, better than that of any past
October, and compares favorably with
healthy cities of civilized Communities.
The death rate from month to month shows
steady Improvement, indicating generally
improved conditions

MRS. DALE MUCH IMPROVED.
Police Trying to Find Motive for Al
legged Crime.

NEW YORK, November 23.-Elzabeth
Howe Dale. who is accused Of the murder
of her five-year-old child Emeline, is still
in St. Mary's Hospital, Hoboken, where she
was taken after her arraignment in court.
She is said to be much improved in her
physical condition. Mrs. Dale is under
guard day and night.
In trying to establish a motive for the
alleged crime, 1t has been asserted that ac-
cording to the will Of her father Mrs. Dale
would become the sole beneficiary in the
event of her child's death. Mrs. Dale, how
ever. claims that she derives her income
from the estate of her grandfather and
that II is hers during her lifetime. She
could derive no benefit, she is said to have
declared, by the death Of her child, and
she pronounces the story groundless and
denounces it as a cruel outrage.
