MAIN TROUBLES
Reasons for Delav in the
Peace Treaty.
SMALL TmiGS WORRY
Spain Striving; to Obtain Exception
al Advantages Over Other Na
tions Friendly to Us,
By Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 3—While it is begin
ning to be recognized here that the chances
are against the conclusion of the work of
the peace commissioners in Paris it is
i time for the Americans to take the steamer
1 of the 10th for the home. The officials are
I not discouraged at the outlook, knowing
| the delay of the nrocqedings of the com
’ mission admits of reasonable explanation.
On some points, for instance, there has
been some difficulty in reaching an agree
ment as to the disposition of public prop
erty in the Philippines including war ma
terial. guns and stores. It seems, however,
likely now the commissioners will agree to
adopt a plan for the disposition of these
• claims based upon the peace treaty that
i governed the case of Spanish property. It
will not be necessary, it is hoped :o‘ send
a joint evacuation commission to Manila
as was Gone in the evacuation of Porto
Rico, but simply to adoot a plan laid down
by the Porto Rican commission.
It is surmised .the American commis
siou-ers have been much more concerned
by Spanish overtures looking to the allow
ance of exceptional advantages for Span
ish commerce with Cuba and Porto Rico
than -about other matters of negotiations
which really seemed to be of larger impor
tance. The explanation is that this reali
zation on the i art of the comm:sstoilers,
that* any agreement on tlm’r ..art ;> .;gh
cc.le such special -advantages, might not
only arouse opposition of the commercial
Ciasses ol the L nltcd States, but bring upon

-Much feeling exhibited by the German

ment is directly* traceable -to a denial by

expected from the eperaaions cf the coun

that cither nations will be peracitted to

BIG DEATH RATE
Dr. Brunner’s Report as to
Havana Conditions.
(MT ACCOUNT FOR IT,
Abortive and Ridiculous Attempts
to Clean the City—Popular
Indifference.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 3 —A special to the Tri
bune from Washington says:
Surgeon General Wyman of the the Ma
rine hospital service has received a report
from Dr. W. F. Brunner, the United States
sanitary inspector a-t Havana covering the
week ending November 24, which shows
little or no improvement in the health
conditions of that city in spite of the ef
forts now being made to prepare it for -the
American army of occupation. In the week
there were 440 death-3, giving an annual
death rate of 114.40 per 1.000 most of them
being due to the filthy* condition of -the
city* and the lack of good food. Yellow
fever, enteric fever, malarial fever and
pernicious fever are credited with causing
respectively, 4, 32 and 9 deaths. Sixty-nine
are attributed to enteritis, twenty-six to
dysentery, one to starvation, nine to
pneumonia and fifty-five to tuberculosis.
Os the four cases of yellow fever two were
among the Spanish troops in military hos
pitals and the otheis among the civilian-s.
Dr. Brunner .thinks there are less than
sixty cases in the city. The. report con
tinues :
“I am at a loss to understand why the
enormous death rate continues. The weath
er conditions favor a decrease in the death
rate, and, while the city is filthy and
dirty in the extre me, I cannot see that
the native population should be unusually
affected by such condition of affairs.
There are some few cases of malarial fever
occurring among crews of vessels in the
harbor but they are mild in their nature
and y.eld to treatment. ?i*nce September
24 there must have been from fifteen to
twenty American- schooners in this port.
Nearly all of them discharged their car
goes of lumber at Tallapiedra wharf or
some other badly infected dock, but no
known cases of yellovz fever have devel
oped among the.men composing the crews,
in fact, the largest death rate has occurred
in the tuhv.vbs of the city, cccions well
removed from they bay, those two known
at the Ccrro and Vedado showing an ab
normally high death rate.
Seme attempts have been made to clean
the city, but as Uhey were not made intel
ligently they were not effective. Fire en
gines have been used for flushing rhe
sewers but as they merely pumped the
wMer into me streets, allowing it to
drain into sewers, little good was accom
plished. The work could have been made
effective by pumping into each one of the
manholes or catch basins, beginning at
the head of the sewer and pumping to the
outlet. An abortive attempt has been
made to sweep some cf the streets by
means of withes tied -together. The meth
ods were as ludricrous as they were fu
tile. The excreta of hundreds of homeless
people and hundreds of those who have
•homes line the sidewalks of side streets
and the indifference shown to these condi
tions is remarkable, even when the char
acter of the population is considered. It is
to be hoped that the cit#" will be made
mechanically clean before the American
troops are allowed to enter.” *

“OPEN DOOR”
TARIFF SCHEME
Senator Chandler Explains
the. Policy to Be.
Policy Wilt Prevail Only Till We
Get Our Money Back.
By Associated Press.
'New York, Dec. 3. —Senator William E.
Chandler, of New Hampshire, in an inter
i view with a. Washington correspondent ot
the Tribune, laad this to say about the
i scope and meaning cf the “open uoar”
' tariff polity which may be put in opera
; tion temporarily in the Philippines:
‘‘There seems to be a general m'isun
i d erst and i nig of the ‘open door’ policy of
: ih(- admini-stration. The phrase in its
i present application .Is -'scme'vUhat mislead
■ ing. I have heard it contended that if we
i maugur.. „e this policy foreign nations who
: are in closer proximity to die Philippines
than the United States, will have a great
advantage over us in the matter of trade.
Now, -as a matte;* of fact, this policy ’.’.ill
not contnue Zor any great length of tkfio.
The president has r-J authority to pre
scribe perman cat tariff laws for the Phil
ippinese; that is a congressional function
and must be exercised exclusively by con
gress when the i.dands have reached tiheir
normal peace oondliLions. The president,
in the execution of his duties, ha-s only the
right to demand that Spain evacuate tlhe
islands and turn them over to the United
States. Thea he sets up a military govern
ment until such a time as congress may
act. It rests wish congress to establish -
permanent scheme of commercial relanun-s
and tariff administration.
“After Spain has left the islands the
military branch of the government takes
charge. Then comes .the ‘open noor’ pol
icy. The tariff rates are prescribed by the
military government, which <sh-a‘ll apply
not only to European nations, but to the
United States as well. No nation on,earth
is given an advantage. The object is sole
ly to raise enough revenue to pay off the
$20,000,000 to Spain. That money will come
from England, France, Germany, America,
in fact, every nation, Jt can be seen,
therefore, that foreign nations, on account
of their convenient situation to the Phil
ippines, will have no material advantage
over the United States. We want to raise
the $20,000,000 to pay Spain and instead of
being to our disadvantage, it will be to our
■benefit if these nations can increase their
-trade to ‘the Philippines for the time being,
| thus increasing tbe customs receipts.
“The ‘open door’ policy .will prevail only
so long as it is necessary to raise the $20,-
000,000 which is agreed to pay Spain. After
this money is raised then it win be time
for congress to act. It wil enact such
tariff legislartion as it deems proper. If it
is decided to annex the Philippines, then
customs duties will be prescribed which
will not give any foreign nations an ad
vantage over us in the matter of trade.
, We will have free and unrestricted inter-
I course with the islands, which foreign na
j Cions will be obliged to pay duties on the
products that they import. Hence, it can
i be seen that the ‘open door’ policy is only i
, a temporary measure and instead of being
; to our disadvantage will redound to our
benefit.
“If congress decides to grant ihe Filipi
nos their independence, then they will
i probably be obliged to pay us the $20,000,-
j 000 which we are to give Spain. I find
i that the main opposition to the annexation
; of tide Philippines comes from people who
have all along been opposed ro the inde
pendence of Cuba. They are disappointed
in the fact that Cuba has been freed, and,
in line with their views on this subject are
opposed to the acquisition of the Philip
pines by the Unted States. The cry of
‘imperialism’ is a misplaced one and is not
only misunderstood but entirely unwar
ranted.”

1 Taylor. Os these the three fir.?: named are
from one word—the Fourth. Mr. Hut'h

again, and as between 'Messrs. Moore and
Williams of the Fourth, the latter will
probably yield to the former if the former
