The officers of the steamer City of Wash- ington, which arrived at New York yester- day from Havana, say that Havana is in the worst possible state of fear. The resi- dents are momentarily expecting an attack by the insurgents. The prisons are full, business is at a standstill and merchants of Spanish ideas are preparing to leave the country. A passenger named J. W. Brown, an Englishman, recently released from a Cu- ban prison, where he spent a month for shouting in the streets of Havana, “Cuba Libre,”-and who was expelled a week ago by order of Captain General Weyler, was one of the passengers. Brown said that his treatment by the Spanish authorities was brutal in the extreme, and that if he had not had papers proving him to be a British subject he would have been shot or would still be in a Spanish jail. He had been four years In Havana, and is now on his way home. “Cuba, in my mind, is lost to Spain. The latter country is now on her beam ends, and the storm on the little island will soon engulf her,” he said. Brown declared that no political prisoner in Cuba knew what he was arrested for until he had been in a prison cell for some time. As to his case, he does not remem- ber having given the Spaniards any just cause for his arrest. “Let me tell you something of Weyler’s system,” he said. ‘‘Honore Laine was cap- tured by Gen. Maceo of the Cuban army, about nine months ago. He was detained but a few days. After his liberation Laine returned to his home in Havana. Later he was arrested at the instigation of a per- ot enemy. a particular friend of General Weyler’s. Several months after his arrest he was tried before a jury, composed of Weyler’s own creatures, and declared in- nocent. Did that make any difference? Not a bit. He is still held a prisoner, and his case has been referred to Madrid. “General Weyler showed his displeasure toward the court that declared Laine inno- cent by sending its officers into the field as a punishment. Mr. Laine is a Frenchman, and if trying to get his case to the atten- tion of the French government. “‘Weyler has had many foreigners arrest- ed. He detests them. Most of these pris- oncrs have never seen the light of day. Finally they drop out of sight; it saves the cost aud trouble of trial. The poor Cuban gets short shrift. It is sufficient to know that he is a sympathizer in the cause. That is his death warrant.” a Mr. Brown related many instances of leged cruelties by the S| jards. Dr. David Taylor, another passenger,says that Spain’s cause is lost, and that Gen- eral Weyler has 30,000 sick soldiers on his hands. ————_+ 0 +____ LORD RUSSELL’S LETTERS. They Indicated a Tender Feeling for His Future Mother-in-Law. The trial of Lady Selina Scott, mother of Countess Russell; John Cockerton, an en- gineer; Frederick Kast, a grocm, and Will- iam Aylott, a valet, charged with criminal libel by Earl Russell, son-in-law of Lady Scott, ws continued before Justice Haw- kins at the central criminal court, London, otherwise the Old Bailey, yesterday. Earl Russell was again on the stand, and, continuing his testimony, he said that = Christmas, 1892, he received a card say- Ing: Goa grant that next Christmas all will be forgotten and that you will be with the people who love you.” ‘Witness later identified a letter, written by Lady Scott and addressed to a private detective named Dickman, containing the +| following words: “Any one who proves anything will not only get my thanks, but enough to start in life, for although we have enouzh evi- dence to hang any ordinary man, it is not quite sufficient for our purpose.

INSPECTORS ARE NEEDED To the Editor of The Evening Star: The possibility of transmitting disease by differept articles of food is so thoroughly Proven by the results of carefully conduct- ed investigations and weil-observed facts that it is no longer doubted by sanitarians generally.- This transmission may take place from infection of articles of food by the virus of disease or from diseases cf animals whore flesh is used for food that are communicable to mankjnd. The fact that diseases can be thus transmitted has not long been established, nor have we as yet so definite a knowledge concerning the fecond method, nor so clear procfs on all points as could be desired. Still, in pro- portion to the time that has elapsed since the enunciation of the belief of such trans- mission as much progress in the way of demonstration has been made as could be expected. The subject that is now agitat- ing the public comes under the first div ion—the transmission of diseaSes by infec- tion of articles of food, and especially milk. It is not intended to discusss the adultera- tion of milk except incidentaliy, such as in the case of the transmission of typhoid fever by adding to the milk water that has been polluted by drainage from the excre- tions of a typhoid fever patient, the dis- eases induced in infants by the impoverish- ment of the milk when water is added and the cream partially removed. The principal object of present consideration is the transmission of infectious cr contagious diseases like typhoid fever, scarlet fever or diphtheria, by infected milk. lt is a well-established fact that several of the diseases communicable to man have been produced by the transmission of trichinae by pork, and tuberculosis by the meat and milk of tuberculous cattle. A learned authority states that, considering its liability to be associated as served io the public with another familiar fluid, there is probably no food so apt to transmit dis- ease as milk. There are many possible means of such infection. 1. The milk may be derived from a cow suffering from pleuro pneumonia, splenic fever or foot or mouth disease. The dan- ger is slight, as the milk is entirely ar- rested at an early stage of the diseases, or so changed in its appearance as to pre- clude its salt. 2. The milk may be obtained from a tuberculous cow. 3. Milk may be drawn from an inflamed udder. This when mingled with a large quantity of good milk is oftenest sold. it may when thus mixed cause indigestion and diarrhoea. As it contains pus, bi20d and broken down tissues, it must be un- wholesome. N 4. The milk may have undergone chemi- cal or fermentative changes. This is lia- ble to occur when sour milk and butter- milk are consumed. 5. The milk may have become infected with the contagium of an animal disease, such as glanders or the foot and mouth disease. ‘The Greatest Danger. 6. The milk may have become infected by the cbntagium of human disease, which is the principal object now being consi‘er- ed. The others, with the exception of the transmission of diseases of animals com- municable to mankind, such as tubercu- losis, afe seldom liable to occur, but their enumeration is essential to a compl2ie pre- sentation of the subject, so far as milk may be the agent for conveying Cisease. The knowledge on this subject is of recent acquisition, and while the fact is generally known that certain diseases can be thus conveyed the manner of transmission is not so well known. Frequently we hear of an outbreak of typhoid fever from infected milk, but not so often as the occurrence of outbreaks from polluted water. In point of fact these are due to polluted water secondarily, for it is almost invariably the case where typhoid fever has been ccn- veyed by milk that the milk has been in- fected by the addition of water, either innocently or otherwise, that has teen polluted by the dejections cf some typhcid patient. Where the water add2d to adulterate the milk, a practice by far too common, the way of infection is made clear. The innocent method is ihe use of such contaminated water to cleanse the utensils by which the milk ts collected and distributed. It is proper, perhaps, to ad- mit the latter method, but the suspicion will recur that in some way or other the water gets into the milk a by the nsing of the pans ant 5 Sermons a pity that an article so valua- ble as food, whose restorative powers cre so needed by the poor and weak, and by the victims of the wasting diseases that so afflict such people, should be so hard to obtain by them who Cae aie the re- re lities of pure milk. Soi mnay, be infected by water which is contaminated by the contagion of typhoid fever or other form of disease, or it may become infected by the absorption of the contaminated atmosphere emanating from a patient sick with diphtheria in the family of the farmer or of his assistants. ‘The chief danger, however, arises from the presence of a case of the disease which is transmitted in the family of the dealer or of some of his assistants. The relation of general unsanitary conditions to the spread of disease is here well illustrated. Were efficient means used in the disposition of filth} and the typhoid dejectives properly disinfected and entirely removed, so that neither our soil nor drinking water could be polluted by them, typhoid fever could not be transmitted by milk, and were all cases of diphtheria properly isolated no danger would remain of tae transmission of that disease by milk. The absorbent qualities of milk are well known. Every housewife knows how readily milk, if shut up in a close cupboard with any substance that has a decided odor, will acquire that odor, and even acquire the taste of articles that have a strong and decided flavor. That it should absorb an infected atmos- phere does not appear at all strange. The close proximity of wells to drains, privies and cesspools has repeatedly been declared to be a source of danger. The water in such wells can hardly be expected under such circumstances to be pure, or even safe for drinking purposes during many months in the year. Now, if the water is infected by the contagion of typhoid fever, the readiness with which a pollution of milk might occur is as evident. Great Importance of the Subject. The subject is of vast importance. As our population increases, large dairy farms become a necessity, and are now becom- ing numerous. Many of them will be found near populous places, where cases of zy- motic disease are of frequent occurrence. One fact is certain; the health office is without sufficient funds and inspectors to faithfully carry said law into execution, which should be remedied a8 soon as Congress meets. Absclute cleanliness from first to last should be the rule for dairy farmers, milk sellers and inspectors. This implies an in- telligent understanding of what is meant by filth in a sanitary sense, and of the methods by which disease can be trans-, mitted by milk. As constant vigilance is the price of safety, inspectors are desirable whose Gutles shall cover the whole field of the purity of the milk, both in regard to freedom from adulteration and from infec- tion, and the projr management of the Gairy, its buildings and water supply, both for the domestic use about the milk’ uten- sils and the water supply for the stock. The milk should also be tested at the farms, as well as from the wagons of the venders. The case is not fully met when @ law is passed directing skim milk to be plainly labeled if offered for sale, for un- less competent inspectors are appointed to enforce the law, it is liable to be neglected. , While it is possible for disease to be pro- Guced from the qualities of the milk itself, as I have attempted to show, from the food or drink of the herd or disorders in the animals, or insanitary stables, yet the greatest danger of spreading epidemic ¢is- — ises from infection of the mi virus of the disease. The danger: that menace health and life are clossly correlated. The storage of excremental filth, the neglect to destroy contagion by disin- fection and disregard of sanitary laws are as potent here to produce disease and death as in other relations.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I ask permission to say a few words more on the free dispensary and ho: ital question, There seems to be some confusion in the minds of the protesting doctors as to the objects to which public funds may be properly applied. One of the most generally recognized of these objects is the improvement and pres- ervation of pubiic health. Large sums are devoted to securing a good water supply and preventing the use of unwholesome Mater, to sewerage and drainage, to clean- ing streets and alleys, to collecting gar- bage and other refuse, to securing and maintaining proper sanitary conditions in dwellings, schools and public buildings, to improving streams and reclaiming marshes, So far no doctors have protested against these things. And yet it would be quite as logical as it is to protest against provid- ing, at public expense, free medical treat- mert for such of the sick as are able to apply for it at public dispens: public has as much right (9 assist in he ing the sick as it has to protect the well. If a diminution of income results to the docters, so much the worse for them. The loss to the outside doctors resulting from 60,009 free dispensary Lrescriptions in one year is as nothing compared with the loss they have suffered from the diminution of sickness and death resulting from im- proved sanitary conditions. I have had occasion to see applicants at free dispensaries, and I conf somewhat skeptical about “the we Who make up a There may be among the appiicants some who have a few dollars in a savings bank cr a building association. Such men make g00d citizens. The class to which they be- long was heard from in the recent elec- tion. It is a public duty to encourage them in every reasonable way, to help them to retain their health and ‘strength and not to compel them to pauperize themselves whenever sickness comes upon them. Any institution which refuses to assist them does not deserve public encouragement, and ought not to receive a dollar of public money. It is well known that in many diseases, notably in typhoid fever, the chances of reGovery depend largely on careful and in- nursing and hygienic surround- None but the fairly well-to-do can these advantages at their homes. Every thoroughly civilized community would provide proper care and treatment for every one whose life was worth saving. At present it is done for few except pau- pers and criminals. Is it too much to hope that some day as much may be done for the honest, industrious, self-respecting toil- er, in spite of the protest of any medical society or committee? J.C. W. —-——__—_ Anti-Toxine Defended. To the Editor of Th: Evening Star: As a citizen of Washington and one in- terested in the health and welfare cf this community, I wish to protest against the tacit assumption of Mr. Henry B. F. Mac- farland that he is engaged in a humani- tarian cause in attacking anti-toxine, or that he is in any way entitled to speak either for scientific men, for sanitarians, or for enlightened and progressive medical men. So far as I can decide from his ccm- munication in last night's Star, his knowl- edge of animal experimentation ts second- hand and plentifclly sprinkled with mis- information. When I employ a physician I like to have one with some better quaii- fication than a mere smattering of took knowledge, good and bad, and when I want opinions on sanitary, medical or scientific questions I go to the best books, and to men of well recognized and deservedly high reputation, not to third and fourth rate men. Diphtheria is present im this city, and is said to be on the increase, Schools have been closed on account of it. It is a highly contagious disease, and a very dreadful one, as all know who have ever been brought into direct contact w it The death rate is severe, outbreaks are often as great as one case out of every two. Anti-toxine has robbed this d’sease of its terror. Used in early stages of the disease, and in a proper manner, it is a remedy, and is well recognized to be such by the highest medical and scientific au- thorities. Why not authorize its manu- facture and put it within reach of the pub- lic? By how much is the iife of a child better than that of a dog or a horse, and one horse serves for many children. And why is it terribly wicked to save the chil- dren from this scourge at the expense of a few horses, anu yet quite commendable to celebrate Thanksgiving, if one is able, at the expense of turkeys, or to dine sump- tuously every day at the expense cf pigs, sheep and bullocks. Vegetarianism is the only logical end of such ultra and foclish sentiment.
