PREVENTING YELLOW FEVER.
Experiments at Havana Prove the
MOSQUITO to be the Cause

Havana. Feb. 11-Alaiur W. c. Cor
gas. chief sanitary officer of Havana.
says the principal work of the sanitary
department for TIA" past year has had
for its object the determination of vel
low fever. and that he has many rea-
sons to believe HAVANA has been ac-
lually purged from the disease. Dur
ing the last 100 years, Major Gorgas
Gays, yellow fever has been epidemic
i'll Havana, and all sanitary MEASURES
that have been taken have had no
effect. General disinfccton. as car
ried out for other diseases. has been
tried to no purpose: but yellow fever
sharply disappeared upon the introduc-
tiOn of the system based on the killing
of Infected mosquitoes. on the theory
that by such mosquitoes could the dis
ease be transmitted.
From September 2S. 1901. not single
case of the fever has been reported.
and this condition is so unusual that
iii the opinion Of the major it puts
aside all questions Of chance. During
the last forty-five years scarcely
month has passed without deaths oc-
curing from the fever. In 1857 2.O5S
deaths from the disease We're reported.
and in 1866 there We're iifty-one deaths.
The average for forty-tive years has
been Io1.
In 1881, with the new system. there
was only eighteen deaths, and twelve
of these occurred before the system
was put in operation. AT the beginning
Of 1901 the conditions We're most un-
favorable. and there was every pros
pect that yellow fever would be prcva-
lent. During 1900 there had been / .244
cases Of the disease and 80 deaths
On March !. 1901. the plan of killing
infected mosquitoes was put into eff
feet, with the result that only six per-
sons have died in Havana from yellow
fever since that time.

GREAT BANK RECORD

New York, Feb 1.-The Finanrirr
says:
The statement of the New York as
sGciated banks last week shows rec
uId-brcaking maximum in the items of
leans and of deposits and this. 100.
Notwithstanding loss of cash
The official return of the cash was
entirely ut Variance with the estimate
based upon the traceablc movements
of money between the banks and the
treasury and the interior. the official
statement showing II net loss of SjsG.-
100 made up of a gain of Sl.1lG.1uO in
specie and II loss of S22O2. 800 in legal
tenders while the estimated movement
showed n gain Of 50 ,G19. 100 cash. This
discrepancy may be accounted for by
an outward movement Of legal tenders
through the mail to Boston and Plila-
delphia, which shipments Were not re-
ported by the bank tellers who con.
fined their reports 10 the amount of
money which was delivered to or re-
ceivcd from the express companies.
The loans We're expanded last week
by S13, ,49S, 100. This makes total
expansion since the second week in
January of S61. 167 800 and the loans
are now S332, 2,oo4 100 or S13.21l. 100

loans on record. which was S91S, TS9,-
600, March 8. 1901. Deposits Were in
creased by 1857 100. showing that
the statement is out of harmony.
Comparisons of changes in the item
of loans and of cash by seven of the
Wall street banks show that six out
of the number increased loans by ST.
100000, while one bank showed II de
crease of 81 ,4OO, 600, making a net gain
of S11 100000. Two of the six banks
