This is a matter of great concern to the city at large. From a sanitary standpoint the street and alleys should be kept as clean as is possi- ble. The health of the people is the first thing that should engage the at- tention of our city authorities. If an early spring is any indication, the coming summer season will be long and hot, Indeed that conclusion can also be drawa from the last two summers. ‘There is also a great poss sibility that yellow fever will again become epidemis in the South, and it may get much nearer Pad yeah than it did Jast year. These possib‘lities should call for the utmost precaution now, while there is time and oppor- tunity thoroughly to prepare for any emergency. The condition of the city’s streets and alleys has much to do with the general appearance of the city and an Block, 115 North Fourth neers 1.0 FRIDAY, MAR. 18 1898 Hawan has not been forgotten in this crisis, The present probability of war emphasizes all the more the need to this country of that group of Islands. —_—_——_ Mr. Bryaw has evinced no desire to withdraw from the lecture field to goto warfor the Cubans. He is laying up 100¢ dollars ‘gainst the next national campaign. Iv Spain really desires to have American warships withdrawn from Cuban waters and Tortugas, she might withdraw her army from Cuba, and her war vessels from Havana harbor.

The main results are as fol- Tn 1846, under Mohammed Ali, the population was only estimated at 4,500,000; the census of 1882, which was a most imperfect one, showed over 6,750,000 and last year’s, which may be considered as fairly accurate as is practicable, indicates a total popula- tion of nearly 9,750,000. Of this total 50.8 per cent. are males, and 49.2 per cent. females, After deductions for women, children under seven years, ind Bedouins, it is calculated that 12 per cent. of the males can read and write, the remainder being entirely il- literate.
