THE GOVERNMENT OF CUBA.
GOv.-Gen. Wood in Washington Con-
sultinE with the President
Over the Transfer.

Washington, March 23.-Gen. Wood,
military governor of Cuba, has. ar
rived here, and is the guest Of Fresi-
dent Roosevelt. The main object of
his visit to Washington at this time
is to arrange with the president and
the secretary of war for the transfer
of the active control of affairs in
Cuba to the Cuban republic. Soon af-
ter his arrival, Gen. Wood went to
the war department and had a long
talk with Secretary Root regarding
the condition of affairs in Cuba. Sub
sequently the two officials went to
the White House and had II confer
ence with the president. The princf-
pal arrangements for military evacu-
alton of the island will be made
quickly. Gen. Woods plans require
that he shall leave here not later
than next Tuesday night, on his way
back to Havana, to carry into execu-
ton the programme fixed by the adj
ministration for the formal transfer
of government affairs. He will re-
turn to Cuba by way of New York, in
order that he may meet and consult
fully with President-elect Palma
upon the joint programme of action.
President Palma will be inaugu-
rated May /, and American control
in the island will terminate on that
date. Owing to the short time inter-
vening, and the extent and impor.
lance of the work involved, it will
be necessary to act promptly.

No LONGER A PEST HOLE.
The Havana of To-Day One of the
Most Healthful of the
Worlds Seaports.
SOME FACTS THE WORLD SHOULD KNOW.
The Stamping Out of Yellow Feve-s
Has Followed the American SAN
itary Regulations and the War
wnged Upon the Breeding Places
OF Mosquitoes.

Washington, March 23.-An inter-
esting statement concerning the i'm
provement in health conditions in
Havana since the American occupa-
ton of Cuba, with special vital
statistics for the calendar year
1901, has been made public
by the ~insular division OF
the war department. Particular
attention is paid to the purging of
the city of yellow fever. during the
past year, by the destruction of in
fected mosquitoes. 1t Is of vast i'm
portance, the statement says, that
these facts be made known to the
world extensively and as rapidly as
possible. During the past As years,
deaths have occurred from yellow
fever in every month of the year, the
maximum, 2,05S deaths, taking place
in 1851; the minimum, 81 deaths, in
1866, with the average Isl. The num-
Der of other infectious and conta-
gious diseases has been small during
the calendar year 1901. There has
been very little diphtheria and ty-
phoid fever. and the tuberculosis rate
is about that of most cities of civil
lied countries. A rapid decrease has
taken place since American occupa-
ton. A marked decrease in malaria
also has occurred since the moquito
work began. The statement con-
cludes as follows:
"The army took charge of the
health department of Havana when
deaths were occurring at the rate of
S1,252 per year. 1t gives it up with
deaths occurring at the rate of 81
720 per year. 1t took charge with
smallpox epidemic for years. 1t gives
it up with not a single case having
occurred in the city for over
IS months. 1t took charge
with yellow fever epidemic for
two centuries. It found Havana
feared as a thing unclean by all
her neighbors of the United
States, and quarantined as a danger
GUS section to touch or even to come
near anything that she had touched,
to the untold financial loss of both
Havana and the United States. 1t
has established the fact that yellow
fever is only transmitted by a GER
tain species of mosquito, a discovery
that in it's power for saving human
life, is only excelled by Jenner's great
discovery, and as time goes on it will
stand in the same class as that great
boon to mankind.
"The army has stamped out this
disease in it's greatest stronghold
there having been only five deaths in
the last nine months of the past year
and no deaths and no cases during
the last three months of the same
year; and it has demonstrated a sys-
TEN by which yellow fever can GER
tainly be controlled without the in.
reference to commerce"

Tried to XIII His Wife.

Edward Releford went to his wife's
home, in Kansas City, the couple not
having lived together for some
months, and asked her to take him
back. Mrs. Releford said she would
not do so until he would stop drink
ing. AS she said this she was stirring
some batter on the kitchen stove.
Releford picked up his baby, carried
it into an adjoining room, put it on
a chair, returned to the kitchen and
dropped three dynamite cartridges
over his wife's shoulder into the tire.
An explosion followed instantly. Mrs.
Releford was blown through the
house. Her old mother, who had
been in the kitchen, was horribly cut
by flying iron. The house took fire,
and, in the confusion, Releford es-
capped, but was caught an hour after
ward in Kansas City, Kas., and on
him a note was found expressing his
intention of putting dynamite in the
coal and of taking his own life. 1t
concluded with the sentence: "To my
friends and to my enemies, go to
hell" The man was hurried to Jail
to escape the mob which organized
to deal out summary punishment. 1t
was reported at first that the baby
had been killed, but an examination
showed its injuries slight. Mrs. Rele
ford was badly injured.
