No Smallpox and No Yellow Fever Seen
for Many Months.

Washington, June 21.-A copy of the
monthly report of Charles ]. Finlay,
chief sanitary officer for the island of
Cuba, which has been received at the
Cuban legation here, contained the fol-
lowing:
There has been no smallpox on the
island since July, 1900, nor yellow fever
since September, 1901, and the pro-
grcssive decrease in malaria has con-
tinued without interruption. The con-
dition regarding tuberculosis is not.
however, SO satisfactory. There has
been an increase CT about 6 per cent. in
deaths from that disease in each of the
years of 1891 and 1902 and at the pres
ent time the proportion of deaths from
that cause to the general mortality
amounts to over 16 per cent.

These words to which l invite your at
