the chances of street patrol, but there
was no help for 1t. He refused Fergu-
sons appeal and Wyck was handed
over to ONeil, the rough rider who
got broke during the reign of Devery
for sassing Big Bill. O'Neil hailed
Wyck with relight.
II was pretty plain to ONeil that
something was wrong with Wyck. The
horse was Off his feed. There was no
snap to him, the spring was gone from
his legs. His eyes were dull, with not
fash of their old fire. He trotted
heavily and the arch of his neck
Strengthened. The handsome head
dropped. When O'Neil rode him near
the park 1t was hard to get Wyck
turned away again. Ferguson came TO
see his pet once in a while and then
Wyck was his old self again But aft
err Ferguson went away Wyck's mel
ancholy returned. Yesterday Mr. Nc
Adoo passing through Columbus cir
Gle, stopped to speak to O'Neil. This
is Ferguson's famous trick horse, isn't
it," said the commissioner. 1t Is,
sir" said O'Neil, but I'm afraid he'll
go all to pieces II he is kept away
from Ferguson and out of the park"
McAdoo looked Wyck over with an
appreciative eye. The former rough
rider spoke to the bay and he kneeled
before the commissioner. Then he
made a face, walked Spanish and put
out his right forefoot to shake hands
with McAdoo He went through all
the tricks that Ferguson had taught
him. The commissioner patted Wyck's
velvety nose and was about to turn
away when the horse dropped his mu2-
zle on McAdoo's shoulder. He snug
ged close to the commissioners cheek.
Then he raised his head and looked
off in the direction of the park. I
am sure that horse was asking me to
send him back to the park as l am of
anything In the world" said the COM
missioner. telling the story yesterday.
Everybody who knows that horse be-
lieves he understands everything that
is said to him, and I've a firm belief
that he understood that had the pow
err of making him happy. The mount
ed men say that Wyck can do every
thing but talk, and they tell stories
by the hour about him that beat any
animal yarns you ever heard. Not the
least remarkable feature of the stories
is that they are true. Well. sir, when
that fine big horse put his head down
on my shoulder and then looked mourn
fully off toward the park IL broke me
all up. The tears came into my eyes,
and / am not more impressionable than
most men, l suppose. / just felt like
apologizing for having made him so
unhappy. I'm sorry, O'Neil. but you
are going to lose your mount / told
Wyck's rider. That horse goes back
to Central Park and Ferguson goes
back, too. It's a downright shame to
keep them apart II there's any way to
get around IT. O'Neil was as pleased
as could be because he loves the horse,
as everybody In the department does
that knows him. BUT the happiest man
In Greater New York was George Fer

CUBA'S HEALTH
NOT A MENACE
YELLOW FEVER NOT FEARED
BECAUSE OF THE SAFEGUARDS
TAKEN AGAINST 1T.

Mortality in the Island Has steadily
Decreased since the Embellishments
of the Republic-There Has Been
no Epidemic of QunrantinabIe
Diseases-Cuba "A Sort of Quaran-
tine station for the United states.
the Cuban minister, in view of reports
that yellow fever was beginning again
to obtain a foothold in Cuba and that
the Cuban government was not vigor-
ously enforcing sanitary precautions,
tonight gave out the following official
statement:
The rate of mortality in the island
of Cuba has steadily decreased since
the establishment of the republic and
compares most favorably with the best
showings of the states of the union and
of the countries of Europe and is due
not only to our splendid climate, but
to the conscientious efforts of the CEN
trail sanitary department of Cuba.
There has been no epidemic of quar-
antinable diseases. Yellow fever,
smallpox. cholera and the plague have
not developed in Cuba since the
proclamation of the republic. Neither
of the two cases of yellow fever at
Punta De Sal, in October and Novem-
Der, have propagated beyond the orig
inal cases.
1T is true that owing to the finan-
cial inability of certain municipalities,
they have been unable to do as much
as they would like for water supply,
street cleaning, pavement and sewers,
but in no wise has this caused yellow
fever, which has not broken out in
any of the ports or towns.
Cuba the United states Quarantine.
Cuba to-day is the quarantine, to a
great extent, of this country. Over
twenty confirmed cases of yellow fever
have come to the island from other
parts of America, some in steamers
bound for the United States, and they
have been properly handled by the
Cuban authorities
Since the appearance of the two
isolated cases of yellow fever a small
hospital sufficient for all needs, has
been available in Santiago de Cuba
for any cases which may arise on shore,
while the hospital at Cayo Duan will
be reserved for any Independent cases.
Special inspectors have been stationed
at the different mines; they will re-
port daily through the local sanitary
office, the sanitary conditions of those
stations, and two medical inspectors
will undertake the medical and sani-
tary inspection of all the houses of
Santiago de Cuba.
Sporadic cases are liable to occur.
THE utmost that can be expected
of any country is that it sees to it that
it's sanitary conditions are not a men,
ace to it's neighbors and that if quar-
antine diseases should appear proper
precautions be taken to prevent their
becoming epidemic and reaching other
countries to their detriment.
Doing Its Very Best.
1.-THE government of Cuba is doing
its full duty in the matter, and intends
to, continue improving the sanitary
conditions of the small, as well as of
the larger, towns. which now can be
compared, without any disadvantage,
with those of any other country Cuba
thus far has shown that it is protect
ing its neigh 5ors efficiently, and that
its sanitary officers are fully able to
meet any emergency and court any
scientific investigation carried on in
good faith"

Moscow, Dec. 26.-The Zemstvo con-
gress of the Moscow government open
ed to-day. Prince Trubetskoi, the pres
ident, in his opening address, dwelt
and the regrettable war with Japan,
the end of which could not be antici-
pated in the near future as well as
the grave economical crisis through
which the country is passing, and the
internal disorganization of the empire.
All this, he said, lay as a heavy yoke
on the Russian people and produced
the condition of. strong nervous ex-
element under which ii labored.
Continuing, Prince Trubetskoi declar-
ed that Minister of the Interior Svia-
topolk Mirsky's assurance of conf
dence in the people had given the Zem-
Stvo new power to serve the state
The Zemstvos had firm confidence in
the Emperor. They believed the happy
day was nigh when through the i'm
Derial will, the present bureaucratic
regime, which had estranged the SUI
preme power of the people, would be
changed; the day on which the En-
peror would summon freely elected rep
resentatives of the people to parti-
cipate in legislation through whose CO.
operation the imperial power and great
ness of the throne would be strength
ened and the triumphant development
of the fatherland assured.
The address was adopted by a ma
jority of the votes In the congress.

TOLD HOSPITAL SHIPS
TO CHANGE BERTHS

London. Dec. 27.-The Daily Mails
correspondent at Toxic cables as fol-
lows
ION Dec 10, the Japanese signalled
the Russian hospital ships protecting
the destroyers in the roadstead OF
Port Arthur to change their berth, and
the Russians requested respite of
six hours. which meant giving the
destroyers the benefit of darkness.
The sequel is not known.
1T is reported that recently posi-
tons have been captured behind Liaoti,
which have cut off the Russian sup
ply bases from the main force"
Foreign correspondents from Port
Arthur declare that the fortress is the
strongest that ever was attacked and
consider that no other army in the
world could have done what the Jap
anese have accomplished, but depre-
cate as over sanguine the idea Of it's
immediate capture.

George Ferguson, the rider, has sat
Wyck for years in the park. chasing

NEGROES ARE Threatened.
Some Want Them to Get Out of Bull.
IOch County.


Statesboro. Ga, Dec. 26.-There is
considerable excitement in this county
In the vicinity of where Reed and Cato
committed their crime upon the
Hodges family some time ago, about
the free distribution of letters to white
people, signed by clubs of various
names. warning them to fight shy of
the negroes and dispense with their
services and help them to leave the
county.
1t seems that this sort of thing has
been going on for some time, but has
not gained much notice until to-day
when the coroner impanelled a jury
from Statesboro to look into a rumor
that negro had been burned in his
house last Friday night and that parts
of his skull and portions of his body
he'd been recovered from the ashes.
Members of this jury reached town
this afternoon from the scene and re-
port that no conclusion was arrived at,
owing to the fact that the bones were
nearly burned up that they could not
say whether they were those of a per-
son or an animal and that they think
this a method to brighten the negroes
and make them leave the county.
