CUBA HEALTHY
AND NO FEVER
SAYS DR.. FINLAY CHIEF OF DE-
PARTMENT OF HEALTH.
HOSPITAL INSPECTORS
Reported There Were No Cases Of the
Disease in Cuba, But Sanitation is
to be Taken Up at Once. Challenge
Marine Hospital Service.

Havana. 1--WE challenge the Unit
ed States Marine Hospital Service to
point out, as alleged, that several
cases of yellow fever have appeared
in various parts of Cuba" was the
response of DIR. Carlos Finlay, Chief
of the Department of Health and
Sanitation, when shown dispatch
erom Washington assigning that as
reason for the instructions of the
United States to Minister Squiers to
call the attention of the Cuban sau-
thorities to the unsanitary condition
at Santiago and elsewhere in the
island, and to urge prompt and thor
Ough remedy of those conditions.
DR.. Findlay, who has high repu-
tation as a yellow fever expert, as
serted with confidence that there is
Aot a single case of the disease in Gu
ba. 1t was not within possibility, he
added, that half dozen Marine Hos
pital inspectors stationed at Cuban
ports should have discovered cases
which the thoroughly organized
Health Department of Cuba has fail
I'd to discover, and more than improb-
able that they fail to call the atten-
lion of the Cuban Department to them.
DIR. Delgado, a Cuban who is sthe
United States Marine Hospital IN
spector at Havana, disclaimed any
knowledge Of yellow fever cases this
year, except in six persons who ar
rived from Mexico and who were i'm
nediately isolated. Of these two died
and the others recovered.
Minister Squiers, who has just re-
turned from a vacation, has received
40 directions from Washington, but
will again take up the matter infor-
mally at an audience with President
Palama, which has been arranged for
this week.
1t is now generally held that Ises-
ident Palma should undertake sani-
tation wherever it is needed without
waiting longer for congressional au-
thorities.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
A Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings
Many New Court Houses.

Over half a million dollars is be-
ing spent by Mississippi counties in
the erection of new courthouses. Some
of these buildings are stone and tile,
costing more than $4,000, while all
of them are good and serviceable. Only
a few years back the rule was to spend
as little as possible in the erection
of public buildings. $4,000 being
near the limit Now, the counties do
not hesitate to put $4,000 in a court
house and many ofthem are spending
larger sums for buildings with ca
pacity for large increase in. the pop
ulation and business. This is only
one of the straws that proves the ex-
istence Of "Greater Mississippi.

Claim for Beaumont Property.

Austin, Tex.-W. III. p McFaddin,
of Beaumont who recently madeappli-
cation for a strip of river front at
Beaumont, about two miles in length
and $50 fee wide, will carry the mat
ter to the Supreme Court on writ
of mandamus, it is stated. His at
torneys called upon Land Commission
er Terrell, and tried to convince him
that he was wrong in refusing the
patent asked for, said refusal having
been based upon the old Spanish rec
ords showing that the river walk was
transferred with the other land, and
that the Neches was the original
boundary and not $50 feet from the
river, as contented by McFadden. The
land is now very valuable, and If the
Supreme Court should grant the man
damus litigation would follow before
McFadden could gain possession OF
the land

cation has called a general educational
convention or rally to be held at jack

outlining a uniform programme of
work. In order to advertise the meet
ing and to explain its scope and pur-
pose Superintendent Whitfield has is
sued circular address to the teach
ers of the state as follows:
"To the Teachers Of the State:
A meeting of the representatives
Of county teachers associations has
been called to meet at Jackson, Dec.
10, at 10 am. While it is hoped that
there will be large number of dele
gates representing associations, it is
expected that the attendance will be
largely composed of county superin-
tendents and leading teachers. The
purpose Of this meeting is to outline
and adopt a general scheme of work
for the teachers associations of the
state. The meeting will be called to
order at 10 O'Clock, and it is hoped
that. large number of representative
teachers will be present at that time. -

Tragedy in Greenville.

In front of the cotton Office of A..
Rosenfeld on Walnut street L. J. Jor-
dan, a fruit tree agent, shot and kill
ed negro farmer by name of Henry
Daniels. The trouble started over the
payment of an order for fruit trees
which Jordan had sold and delivered
70 Daniels. Daniels was shot three times
but not until after drawing his pistol
on Jordan. The first shot from Jor-
dan s pistol cut the artery in the legs
near the body and paralyzed Daniels
that he held to his weapon but never
fired a shot. The death wound en-
tered his back just about the hip.

Belgium Immigrants.

A letter addressed to the Immigra-
tion Bureau of the State of Missis-
Sippi has been turned over to Secre-
tary of State Power for attention. 1t
comes from an immigration bureau of
Llege, Belgium, and is in regard to
securing expert farm laborers for this
section of the country. The writer
refers to the World s Fair, to be held
at Liege Belgium, in 1905, which, he
states, will attract thousands of far
mers from Holland, Belgium and Ger
many, who are looking for a country
in which to settle. An immigration
bureau will be established there un-
der the direct supervision of United
States Consul Winslow, at Liege, and
managed by Julius L. Loix of st.
Louis, a native Of Belgium. Mr.. Loix
states that the farming element of the
country around Belgium and in Ger
many and Holland are recognized the
world over as the most thrifty and
expert and industrious to be found
anywhere. He states that the Cana
dian government keeps an agent in
Belgium to induce immigrants to go to
Canada and settle. They prefer to
come further south, where the climate
is more suitable and the soil more fer
tile, and will come with very little in
ducement. Mr. Loix states that he will
be glad to cooperate with the state
officials in any possible way to help
turn the tide toward Mississippi. Sec
retary Power will take up the matter
and will endeavor to provide such
literature and statistics as can be had.

London. Nothing probably in a

representative government, an inde-
pendent judiciary and absolute secur-
