OF YELLOW JACK
NOW IN CUBA

Washington, Aug. 26.-The war depart
ment has made public long cabled re-
port from Governor Magoon OF Cuba.
which startled the medical officers. show
ing as II does that IN the short period
since the withdrawal OF the American
government OF Intervention and the re-as-
sumption OF American government by the
Cuban army OF paclhcation there had
been a woeful neglect of sanitary pre-
cautions and an almost complete disre-
gard of the treaty obligations under which
the Palma government was placed TO
keep the island clean and healthful, so
that II should no longer be source OF
danger and infection TO the United States
and other countries.
The governors report also discloses tho
fact that the fever In this last outbreak
has not been confined TO the hospital
corps men, but has extended TO other sol
diers lie also indicates that the evil
sanitary conditions cannot be cured this
year. I'm spite OF the most vigorous ef-
forts on the part OF the American author
tiles, in which II appears they received
little support from the native Cuban
physicians.
Before he left Washington Secretary
Taft became seriously concerned d-for the
safety OF the American troops and resi-
dents i'm Cuba as a result OF the occur
renee of yellow fever at Cienfuegos. He
cabled to Gov. Magoon request for
full statement Of the conditions and urged
the governor TO take every step that pru-
dence and experience should suggest 10
eradicate the disease. Gov Magoon COM
piled by sending yesterdays report.
The report says there are three cases

and designed to remedy the situation Gov.
Magoor says he hopes the situation VIII

Cienfuegos water works and sewers now
held UP by the Reilly contract contro-
versy. He adds:
The sanitary work OF the island out
side OF Havana has been Ineffective for
years. due TO the fact that sanitation
was left to the local authorities and sani-
tary officials obstructed and delayed by
lical interferences On Nov. j issued
decree making army engineers members

service. The final draft OF the decree was
completed last week and Is now in the
hands OF translators and Will be issued

ment to complete the plans for the water
and sewer ssytems and hope TO get the
work started In ten or Is cities within the
next few months.
Outside Cienfuegoes there are three
cases-two In Matanzas and one In Ala
cranes. near Matanzas The remainder of
the island IL free from the disease. The
situation calls for prompt and vigorous
attention and will receive II. but II Is
much better than II was last fall at this
time. and hape will not occasion con-
tinued alarm. The military authorities OF
the United States and all branches OF the
Cuban government are cooperating

MEMS CORSET BILLS
ARE ALWAYS PAID

Since corsets are generally regarded as
exclusively destined for feminine wear.
IL may come as a surprise to many read
ers to learn that the annual corset bill OF
many a smart man Is much larger than
that OF the average smart woman. This
Is. nevertheless. fact.
A leading corsetiere who supplies most
of them puts down good customers bill
at $3.50 a year Let no one imagine that
II is only fops who wear them.
The majority OF wearers are military
men, who, I learn, require greater
amount OF padding than civilians. 9th

mans figure has to be gradually
coaxed into shape, and is first OF all put
into a soft silk corset with scarcely any

full glory of the perfect figure. This pro-

special makes of corsets are employed In
the development. or perhaps IL would be
more accurate TO say the repression"
OF the figure.
