CUBA'S PEST HOLE.
New Orleans Passengers from Havana
Say Situation Is Alarming.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 5.-Passen-
gers arriving yesterday on the steam
ship Prince Arthur from Havana bring
the information that the yellow fever
situation in Havana is fast becoming
alarming, principally because the au-
thorities are concealing facts about
the number of cases. 1t was asserted
that there were thirty cases when
that ship sailed. Passengers were
emphatic in confirmation of the state
ment of Dr. John n Thomas, Lou
isiana's quarantine officer, that yellow
fever had existed in Havana for many
months. and was there the past sum-
mer. With yesterdays announcement
comes the statement that Surgeon
General Wyman has stopped Havana
passengers from entering the United
States through Gulf ports. He has in
structed Consul General Seinhart in
Havana to refuse to give passengers
for Gulf ports clean bills Of health.
This will practically divert al pas
senger traffic via New York.

Natural BRIDGE Of AGATE.

There is unending variety OF marv-
elous sights to be seen In the petri-
fed forest covering thousands of acres
in the eastern part OF Arizona, but
what is regarded as the greatest OF all
is the bridge of petrified wood.
1t is huge petrified tree-trunk span.
ming a canyon like ravine fifty feet
wide-a bridge of agate and jasper
overhanging the only clump OF living
trees within the forests borders. Each
end of the log is embedded in shale
and sandstone. leaving 100 feet OF 1t
either wholly or partly exposed.
So far. time has graciously spared
the integrity OF this natural curiosity.
nut In the last few years the log. has
aegun to show signs OF yielding to the
natural inclination OF petrified trees.
snd In several places transverse
cracks appear. Fearing that the bridge
would tumble to destruction the gov
eminent has recently had two stone
abutments erected under 1t, making
of it a bridge Of three spans.

Congressman Lorimer of Chicago
would have Congress appropriate $751;
100000 for 14-foot channel from the
drainage canal down the Des PLANES
and Illinois rivers into the MISSISSIPPI
pi and thence to the Gulf. Mr.. Lori

made an extended exclusion along the
route of the proposed waterway. He
comes to Washington imbued with
the project. and has a bill prepared
which will be offered in the House

such a channel would create a new
type of ocean going steamer which
would ply the waters Of the Mississip-
pi river and connect with points on
the Great Lakes without change. This
is one OF the strong points which ne
proposes to make in favor of the pas
