HAVANA CLEAN CITY;
HEALTH LAWS RULE,

BY William L. Curtis, Correspondent
OF Chicago Record-Herald.
Havana. Mar. 26.-In Spanish times
Havan was one of the dirtiest and
most unhealthy cities In the world
Today 1t is one of the cleanest, with
a death rate about the same as that
of New York and Philadelphia, regard.
less of large, improvdent, ill-nour.
ished and imprudent colored popula
ton. The death rate among the white
population alone is about the same as
that OF Washington. A lady tourist,
after returning from a drive the other
day. remarked that she was going
home to get up a revolution in Gin.
cinnati. hoping that the president
would send detachment of the army
to clean that town.
Before the Americans came to Ha-
vana in 1898 it was the habit of the
people to use the streets and alleys
for dumping purposes, and the gar
bage and offal were thrown out of the
doors and windows for the pigs and
vultures to eat and carry away. To
day every household has n can or a
barrel for refuse of every sort, and is
required to set it on the sidewalk at
10 o'clock at night. where 1t is picked
up by carts of the health department
and carried into the suburbs to be
burned. The streets are cleaned daily
by force organized by the late Col
