The Silent Room Cure.

Society women are all going in for
cures of one sort or another, from re-
pairing nervous systems by buying
new gowns and fripperies and parad-
ing at German "Bader" to taking the
sand cure. The cure for, social col
lapse is the silent room, where one
can have a spasm of quiet now and
then, says the New York Press. The
rooms must be as cell-like as possible;
no knickknacks nor even flowers are
permitted, so that the eye which is
used to overornamentation is rested by
simplicity. OF course the victim must
be entirely cut off from telephones,
messages. electric bells. electric lights,
callers and social secretaries. How it
must surprise the mother of eight in a
fiat to hear that many millionaires are
building silent rooms in their abodes!

Health Regulations Are Scorned
and Sanitary Conditions in
Island Alarm
GOVERNOR MACON SCARE
Outside City of Havana Little Effort
is Made to Stamp Out yellow Fever
TAFT Takes Notice and Is Alarmed
Local Officials obstruct Work Of
Health Officers.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The war de-
partment made public long cabled re-
port from Governor Magoon of Cuoa,
which startled the medical officers.
1t shows that in the short period
since the withdrawal of the American
government of Intervention and the re-
assumption of American government
by the Cuban army of pacification,
there has been a woeful neglect of sian-
itary precautions and an almost COM
plete disregard of the treaty obliga-
tions under which Cuba was placed to
keep the island clean and healthful so
that it should not longer be a source, Of
States and other countries.
The governors report also discloses
the fact that the fever in this last out
break has not been confined to the hos
.pital corps men, but has extended. to
other soldiers. He also indicates that
the evil sanitary conditions cannot be
cured this year, in spite of the most
vigorous efforts on the part Of the
American authorities, in which it APP
pears they received little support from
the native Cuban physicians.
Before he left Washington, Secretary
Taft became seriously concerned for
the safety of the American troops and
residents in Cuba as the result of the
occurrence of yellow fever at Glen
fuegos. He cabled to Governor Ma
COON as request for a full statement of
the conditions and urged the governor
to take every step that prudence and
experience should suggest to eradicate
the disease. Governor Magoon COM
Piled by sending yesterdays report.
The report says there are three cases
in town exclusive of soldiers. Twelve
soldiers contracted the disease, and
three of them died. All soldiers con-
tracted the disease in hospital. No
cases have appeared in soldiers quar-
tiers. The report adds:
IF we accept the mosquito doctrine,
we must relieve the local civil officials
from responsibility. except for failure
to secure reports of all cases of fever
or increased temperature, for it is a
practical impossibility to eliminate the
stegomyia from Cienfuegos until the
completion of the waterworks, sewers,
pavement. complete drainage OF city,
and discontinuance of use Of water
containers.
The sanitary work Of the island
outside of Havana has been ineffective
for years due to the fact that sani-
tation was left to the local authorities
and sanitary officials INSTRUCTED and
delayed by local interference.
II am pressing the public works de-
partment to complete plans for water
and sewer systems, and hope to get
the work started in ten or fifteen cities
within the next few months
