NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: I am able through the courtesy of a prominent Catholic clergyman of this city, who through his foreign affili- ations keeps in close touch with Catho- | lic matters affecting both this country and Europe, to throw some light on Archbishop Ireland’s visit to rome, which he is'soon to pay. This clergy- man said to-night: “There are so many matters to which Archbishop Ireland will give his per- sonal attention while in Europe that it is hard to specify any particular cause for his visit. There has been, I.am con- vinced, no call from the Pope to t Rome, certainly not to answer any | charges or to explain anything in con- nection with the course of the church v during recent years.

Hon. Charles Dewey, President of the Na- tional Life Insurance Company and a brother of Admiral Dewey, talked free- ly with The Call representative regard- | ing the subject. Mr. Dewey said the Admiral had never voted since he en- | tered the navy in 1854. He has never been where he could vote. His legal ' residence is in Montpelier, and he would vote here if anywhere. “‘George,” said Mr. Dewey, “I have always considered a Republican, but not a politician CAPITAL OF CUBA REEKS WITH HILTH Garbage Dumped in the Streets. THE CITY A PLAGUE HOLE CONDITIONS AS FOUND BY THE LATE COLONEL WARING. Warns Americans to Beware of the Death by Disease That Threat- ens All Who Are Not Immunes. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The War Department division of customs and in- sular affairs made public to-day a very full synopsis of the late Colonel George A. Waring’s report of his visit to Ha- vana under the special instructions of | the War Department given him early | last autumn to thoroughly inspect the | sanitary condition of the city and to | make such recommendations for the future improvement of the town as might be suggested by the inspection. Colonel Waring says he found the street cleaning without adequate or- ganization or funds, the markets offen- sive and dangerously filthy for the dis- tribution of human food, with the ex- ception of two, the Tacon and Colon markets. He found the machinery used for sweeping the streets ineffective, the garbage being thrown into the streets in entire disregard of the ordinance re- quiring it to be sent out in proper re- CONVINCED OF THE GUILT OF DREYFUS Court of Cassation Reported to Have Decided He Was Justly Condemned.

If the islands are to be held by the United States, which is now al- most _certain, it is to be expected they will be placed under the heirarchy of the United States. The Government will not look with favor on the propo- sition to allow Spanish priests to re- main in power and offices in these isl- ands. While they are cordially dis- liked and even hated by a large body of the natives, they are still very in- and their presence there would be a constant menace to the in- terests of this country and a hindrance to the work of Americanizing the isl- ands, “Two priests accompanied General Merritt when he sailed for the Philip- pines, and they spent some time in Ma- nila and other islands. One of them expressed himself in vigorous terms as | to the habits and character of Philip- pine priesthood. They are totally dif- ferent from the priests of this country. The priests are almost all friars, being members of powerful religious organi- zations. As the organization never dies, they accumulate wealth very rapidly In this case they have been assisted by the government, which gave the church vast wealth which has been left behind by the original owners who fled to es- cape punishment by the rebels. These | lands the church holds on a tentative | title, and it is expected it will be com- pelled to surrender a large quantity of | it either to the Government of the | United States or to the original owners | or their heirs. During the period of transition from | Spanish priesthood to American pri hood Archbishop Ireland’'s presence in Rome will be of the greatest value both | to the church and the Government. This, I belleve, is the principal reason for bis trip, which is to present the | case of America and the American | church to Pope Leo XIII, and explain many steps which the Government will take in regard to the church in these | islands, EXPEDITION AGAINST THE KHALIFA ABDULLAH Sirdar Kitchener Will Punish the‘ Dervish Leader, Who Threat- | ens Local Tribesmen.

But, you know, we navy officers are not | inclined to discuss partisan questions aboard the ship. Charles Dewey said he knew of no reason why the Admiral should have changed his politics since that time. Edward Dewey, another brother of the Admiral, who lives at Montpelier, | was substantially of the same opinion as his brother Charles. W. T. Dewey, treasurer of the Ver- mont Mutual ¥Fire Insurance Company, a nephew of the Admiral and a man who has devoted a large amount of | time to the genealogy of the Dewey | family, when asked regarding the Ad- | miral’s politics, said: | “I do not believe Uncle George has voted in the last forty years, but his father, his brothers and his son are Re- | publicans, and I have always regarded him as such.

Foul pools were found in the streets into which rubbish and filth had been | deposited, which the contractor was | not required to clean. This filth was| turned over to the buzzards. Some of the streets in the compact part of the city are paved with large stone blocks, others with Belgian blocks and the re- mainder are unpaved. These streets are filled up with house garbage. There is practically no sewerage. In many cases | households connect their private vaults with loose brick or stone drains just un- der the pavement along their frontage. | These allow the filth to leak out into | en- | abling the householder to get out of | much hiring of night scavengers. Slaughtering pens, while superficially | clean, are brutally disgusting while the work is going on.

It is deposited on | the surface in and near the town, where the buzzards feast upon it to their full satisfaction. Dead dogs, cats and chickens are left in the streets until| the buzzards pick them to the skeleton. And all this is done under am intense sun. Bad as these conditions are they are | not comparable with the disgusting | conditions of the domestic life. Ther are fever than twenty thousand houses | in the city. Sixteen thousand are of one | story, 200 of three story and a very few | are four stories and none high: At least twelve out of every thirteen of the inhabitants live in one-story houses, the total population being over 200,000. The average population of the houses is In all the compactly built parts of the city the entire lot is crowded by the | house, there being one or two courts included in the building. In the better class of houses the entrance hall is quite commonly the standing room of | the carriage. It opens into a parlor at | its side and into the reception room at its rear. Beyond this is a court, their dining room then a smaller court, the kitchen, stable and private vault, prac- tically all in one. Sleeping rooms are in the rear of the parior and at the side of the court she dining room. The con- spicuous feature of every house is the peivate vault anu sometimes a second vault for kitchen wastes. These vaults | ccupy a space practically under and almost in the kitchen. It is rare, indeed, that they have a ventilating pipe. They ! belch forth nauseating odors through- out the house, which pervade the streets. Lest the conditions above set forth should fail to do their appointed wor! of destruction, the broad marshes at the southerly edge of the harbor are at i [ i { Into these marshes flow a number of water courses which bear upon their | surface the offscourings of a very poor slaughtering, pens and other foul | establishments, while a large portion of | the flat is used as a dumping ground | for garbage. | The water supply of Havana, Mr. | ‘Waring says, is of the purest and most exaellent character. This, with the winds of the gulf, saves the city from being absolutely and unqualifiedly bad. | The city is a veritable plague spot. Its own people, largely immune though they are to yellow fever, which has pre- vailed in Havana without interruption for 163 years, fall constant victims to the pernicious malaria and depressing influence to which they are always sub- jected. It needs only the immigration of fresh material which the enterprise of an American population is sure to bring In, to create a sacrifice such as has not been yet known. Commerce, says Colonel Waring, will carry the terrible scourge of yellow fever to our shores until we rise again in a war of humanity and at all costs, wipe out an enemy with which no mili- tary valor can cope. Colonel Waring suggests the follow- ing improvements as absclutely essen- tial to make Havana a healthy city: 1. Organize immediately a department of public cleaning under the full control of a single commissioner experienced in the conduct of such work and with au- thority to do all that the occasion may require. 2. Construct a system of sewers to re- ceive the liquid wastes of all houses of the main city as far as Belascoin. These cewers should serve separately the dif- ferent districts into which the various slopes divide themselves, and each should discharge directly into the gulf or into the harbor, as the case may be. 3. Fill up all the private and kitchen waste vaults and supply every house with an adequate water closet connected with the public sewerage system. 4. Pave or repave all the streets in the best manner with asphalt. 5. Provide a completely appointed abbattoir for large and small animals, adequate for all the needs of the people. 6. Provide a suitable and sufficlent in- cinerating furnace for the complete and inoffensive destruction of garbage and other refuse. Reclaim all the marshes—at least those between the Calzada de Viver and lant suf- Whera ‘e Regla. 8. Establish an electric power ficlent for pumping sewage of the abbattolr.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 8.—Senor Bacardi, the Mayor or Santiago, is cabling to Havana each day regarding the situation, explaining that the local excitement growing out of the proposal of the United States authorities to con- centrate the customs receipts at Ha- vana is not allayed and that the people want provincial and municipal auton- omy. It is understood General Wood, Governor of Santiago, with General Castillo, will reach the United States on or before Tuesday next, and arrange- ments have been made for a special cable service to inform the people here as to developments after General Wood’s arrival in Washington.

The Dawson Nugget under date of De- cember 7 says there is a strong movement | on foot at Dawson to send a representa- tive to Washington for the purpose of | enlisting the United States Govern- ment in the cause of aiding in remedying the great distress which prevails among the miners of the Yukon. The hospitals are overcrowded with indi- | gents, and the finances of those insti- tutions will not allow of any more whole- sale charity. The Yukon council declares itself | already out of funds to_care for the in- | digent sick. Donations for the caring of the sick come in regularly, but in small amounts, while at this present moment nothing less than $%00 per month will come anywhere near taking ordinary care of the poor fellows without money or property. The dreaded scurvy has made its appearance, and none but those con- nected with the hospitals know of its ex- tent. The fact is that the amount of distress here has outgrown the total charity of the place and nothing less than $200.000 will relieve the distress of this winter. Food is here in plenty, but it takes money to buy it. A memorial will be sent to Washington asking Congress to hel B e | SOCIALISTS IN A RIOT. Pilgrims to the Tomb of Blanqui En- gage in a Fight.

It is bought for its health-bringing power, and as a rule it has none. Cheap electric belts are like cheap jewelry. There are many which are sold on the reputation of Dr. San- den’s, which has cured over 10,000 people in 18%. Every druggist claims té have one “as good as Sanden’s,” but it falls to pleces in ten or fifteen days, and the price is wasted. Dr. Sanden's has the cures, and it is guaranteed to give A strong current for one year, or to be re- placed free with a new one. No other beit is warranted like this. Call and see the doctor about it, or Wwrite for free book to the manager. #-3-u-uaaeaaass —— & NOT IN DRUS STORES. |
