HEALTHFULNESS in FUTURE.
The Death Rate Is Reported as Being
Below That of Most Ameri-
can Cities.

\ report has been received at the
war department from Gen. Wood show
ing that the death rate for the city
of Havana for the month of February
WAS 1892 per 1000, which is said to
be below the average of most Ameri-
can cities The death rate, it is stated.
steadily decreases, and this Is taken
as an indication Of improved sanitary
conditions. During the last February
Was s2.32 per 1000.
The report compares Havana 5
health statistics with those of IA num-
Der of eastern and southern cities of
the United States, most of which are
shown To have higher death rate
than Havana. At present, il is stated,
the cities look upon Havana with sus-
picion, but. says the report, Havana
will have to guard against them in
the near future.
As 10 yellow fever, il is shown that
in February. 1900. Havana had l. cases
of that disease. against only eight new
eases during the February Just past
idNlhe liito N'haiANi "'A'ii NV i"'
that the number of nonimmunes was
much larger I'm February, 1901, this
showing is regarded as very encourag-
ing.
Exhaustive measures are now being
taken against the spread of the disease
in Havana. Besides disinfccting the
houses the rooms occupied by yellow
fever patients are screened as soon
as the case is reported. and all mos
quitoes in the building and adjoining
dwellings killed by the fumes of py-
rethrum powder.

WHY CHINESE PROHIBIT MILK.
Use of IL Is Forbidden because It May
purn Human Beings Into
ouadrupeds.

The Indian Lancet of January 81
gives the following condensation of
proclamation in the Loo Chow Herald:
Man should not rob animals of their
own proper food; and. of all animals.
the COW is the most valuable To man.
The sellers of milk blacken their souls
for gain; but those who drink milk
do SO in the foolish belief that il is
good for them. Before taking any
medicine. we should carefully investi-
gate its properties. and who does So
in the case of milk? Milk is the nat
ural food of babes and of young ami
mails; but when adults drink ii do
they not thereby endanger the life
of the sucking calf, and arouse bitter
resentment in the souls of the calf
and its mother? Beasts have not the
power of speech. and so cannot tell
men that by drinking cows milk they
will become like quadrupeds, If men
must have a strengthening draught.
there are "A thousand better things
than milk. so why select that? Be-
sides, the term of life is foreordained
and it cannot be prolonged by drinking
milk.
Everyone who reads this warning
is especially enjoined to abstain from
milk in the future. Children whose
parents will not allow them to drink
milk will not be stunted in growth,
hut will have their lives prolonged and
be immune in epidemics. So it is pro-
claimed in the hall of good counsel"

GOLD MINES IN THE ANDES.
Wonderful Deposits of Ore Found IN
the Mountains of Bolivia
and Peru.

Sir Martin Conway, who has recent
ly returned to London from carrying
out extensive explorations in South
America, gives some most interesting
particulars of the wonderful gold de-
posits of the Andes, reports an English
paper.
Sir Martin said that along the east
ern slope of the Andes. in Peru and Bo-
lvia, run many rivers rich in gold. la
the time of the lncas and during the
early days of the Spanish settlement
gold was washed from the river sands
first by the natives and afterward by
the Spaniards. The work was, how
ever. exceedingly arduous owing to
the inaccessibility of the locality and
the consequent difficulties of trans
porting food and other necessaries to
the scene of operations.
Various attempts, continued Sir
Martin. had since been made to work
the deposits, but while all the com
panies formed for the purpose found
gold. they nearly all failed to work
at a profit. In recent years, however
two or three companies. which had
taken up the problem skillfully, were
successful.
The explorer further stated that in
the Peruvian province of Sandia 29O
gold discoveries of Importance have
been made. The neighboring province
of Carabaya is equally rich. On the
other hand. the collaborating districts
are not poor mans country. They
are no place for man with n simple
prospector's outfit. The difficulty of
transport, to say nothing of fever and
hostile Indians, is too great prob
lem to be solved by the individual
miner.

JUDGE CULLEN AND JUDGE PARKER.

An interesting statement by Judge Cullen was
published yesterday in THE New-York World"
whose representative had found him up In
Msine and brought to his attention the recent
gossip that he might be nominated for Gov
ernOr by the Democratic State Convention.
Having frankly declared that be would not ac-
cept such n nomination, Immediately adding
that he was an earnest supporter of Judge Par
ker and hoped for his election. which nobody
doubted Judge Cullen went on to say;
am entirely clear however that my nomina-
ton for Governor would not I'm any respect con-
tribute 10 that result. Whatever strength may
have with the electors of the State, which may
be easily OVerestimated by myself, has been
gained solely in my judicial career for IN no
other way have taken part in the activities OF
public life. That strength, if II exists at all,
would not follow me in canvass for a political
office.
In this statement Judge Cullen manifests his
excellent practical sense His enviable reputa-
ton has been made i'm the performance of his
judicial duties, which have absorbed his atten-
ton and precluded any participation in other
public activities Consequently, his strength
with the voters, which he modestly says that
he may overestimate is derived from their APP
probation of his services on the bench, where
they wish 10 keep him. This is a sound con-
cusiOn, and our respect for the feelings of
Judge Cullen, whose nomination for Chief Judge
Justly claim to have been instrumental in pro-
curing does not forbid MS 20 say that it is equal
~ applicable to the case of Judge Parker
Since his early experience in politics as man
ager of HIPS first campaign for Governor,
Judge Parker has been the bench ana alb
sorbed in its laboTs. Like Judge Cullen, he has
taken no other part in the activities Of public
life, and his strength with the voters whatever
it may have been. was gained solely in his
judicial career In respect TO his own strength,
gained in exactly the same way, Justice Cullen
says that It would not follow me in a canvass
for a political office" The proofs are rapidly
accommodating that Judge Parker suffered from
a melancholy want of diseernment when he
resolved 10 abandon the duties for which he is
fitted, resign the career in which he had gained
his reputation and offer himself as a candidate
for President Of the United States He must
now envy the cool judgment with which his
former colleague and present successor has
weighed his own claims and limitations

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

Promoters OF playhouse amusements. only
few weeks ago, were predicting a dramatic sea-
son so prosperous that none of its predecessors
could possibly compare with it. But every
sensible and intelligent admirer of good acting
knows full well that in a Presidential campaign
so many people are concerned in the afternoons
and evenings with political activities that the
temples Of Thespis are rarely sources Of huge
revenues.
After the second Tuesday In November the
1Ocking of multitudes to applaud the artistic
performances of the tragedians and comedians
may fill the hearts of the managers with JOY
However that may be, although the stage sea
son has barely begun, several amusement enter
prises in this capital have already fallen under
the ban OF public disfavOr or indifference, and
more failures may naturally be expected before
Election Day. Possibly there are TOO many
theatres In New-YOrk Almost threescore OF
them are appealing to general patronage in the
various bOrOughs Of this metropolis
It Is possible, however that, were the number
reduced and were the managers to labor more
seduiously to furnish diversion of a higher class
with diminished extravaganza of outlay and to
provide actors and actresses of n higher order
Of merit there might be better state OF things
all around. 10 obtain plays and performers of
genuine worth for fifty-nine theatres is a formi.
dable undertaking.

WAR views OF EXPERTS.
artillery Lessons IN MaHchuria Nay
Lead to u. S. Army Changes.
rFRo,1 rHH TRIBUNE BURnAU.I


Washington, Sept. 16-SOms OF the military
experts here believe that the japanese will now
turn their attention 20 the situation before Port
Arthur and attempt 10 accomplish the reduction
OF that Russian base and fortress It Is one Of
the theories OF the observers here that q large
part OF the japanese army hitherto held In front
of Port Arthur was drawn away from that place
10 take part in what was evidently a formidable
japanese plan 20 cut the Russian column IN the
north; If this be so. II Is possible that the
mand before Port Arthur win be restored 20 its
former strength. and that reinforcements which
are understood TO have come from home win
Join the japanese army at LiaO-Yang.
The experts find Il difficult TO credit the re-
ports that the japanese and Russians win soon
come into collision again. They estimats that
this will not be possible within several weeks.
OF course. there is always the element OF sur
prise and accident which sometimes promotes
the opportunity OF battle. One feature to be
considered in connection with the positions OF
the adversaTies Just now Is their condition since
their last conflict and the influence Of the
weather. II the japanese are able to restore
their strength by reinforCements from home and
can maintain the mobility OF their armies which
have been In the field all along they are In q
position to do much harm % their enemy but
some experts doubt this efficiency. which would
be most important factor to the advantage Of
the Japanese IN their role OF pursuer on the
other hand. II is imagined that the Russians
have suffered less than the Japanese. since The
retreat Of the former has been more or less pre-
meditated, and probably without the haste and
losses Of enforced flight
Little has come from the Far East which
throws light on the details OF the lighting or the
means used on one side or the other. but 1t is
quite evident that the artillery has taken a more
prominent place In the considerations OF the
strateslsts. 1t is heard Of to a greater extent
than has been the case in previous wars and It
will form one OF the most important contribu-
tons 20 the reports of the military observers
with the armies in the field. Enough Is known
Of the performances OF the artillery in ManchIl-
ria to require the revision OF the United States
army textbooks on organization and tactics
The time and the information available com
pine 10 make prediction by the experts a ditii-
cult task They say, however, that everything
points 70 the Japanese intention OF Continued
pursuit ana Russian preparation for resistance
at MOukden.

that the Democratic party must completely as
