GOOD SANITARY REPORT.
SUPERB SANITATION OP THE
MASCOTTE.
What Is Required for the Safety of
Direct Steamship Lines tc the West
Indies.
From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald.
Thursday last the Board of Health held a
meeting at which were Dr. Neal Mitchell,
President; Dr. A. W. Knight, Secretary,
and Messrs. D. H. Kennedy and P. 1Y Engle
and County Sanitary/ Inspector Watson.
After routine business of no general im
portance, Dr. Mitchell read tiie following
report, which is of general interest:
Gentlemen of the Board of Health:
In accordance with your wishes, your
representatives who have recently returned
from Havana respectfully submit the fol
lowing report:
In accepting the invitation of the Plant
Investment Company to visit the Island of
Cuba, the l>oard was actuated by the desire
to allow each of its members an opportunity
to decide, from personal observation, as to
the practicability of maintaining, with
safety to the State, a direct line of commu
nication with Cuba during the summer
months. Recognizing on the one liand the
advantages accruing to Florida by reason
of uninterrupted commercial relations with
the West Indies, and upon the other, the se
rious disadvantages consequent ujion the in
troduction of yellow fever, we were pre
pared to investigate coolly and carefully.
Such being the object of our visit we shall
as clearly and concisely as possible refer
simplyto these facts of sanitation directly en
teriug into a proper consideration of the
question.
The line of transportation between Cuba
and Florida by which we are principally af
fected is the Plant Steamship Line. The
vessels of this line are the Mascotte and Oli
vette, both new iron vessels, constructed
upon the most approved principles and
adapted especially for the Guff trade.
While these ship* are marvels of beauty and
elegance, theyuro also marvels in the way
of ventilation and improved sanitary ar
rangements. In fine they were built to
meet the requirements of West Indian
transportation. They ply, as you know be
tween Havana and Tampa, touching at Key
West.
That you may understand the precaution
ary measures adopted by this line for the pre
vention of the introduction of yellow fever,
we will state in substance the regulations
which are in force from May 10 to Nov. 1,
which regulation are subject to such addi
tional regulations from time to time as may
be deemSl advisable or necessary:
1. The officers and crews of both vessels
of this line shall be acclimated to the island
of Cuba, thus rendering them practically
exempt from yellow fever.
2. Every steamship of the line shall enter
the harbor of Havana only after sun
rise and shall leave the port before sunset of
the same day. While in Havana each ves
sel shall be anchored or moored in the east
ern portion of the bay; which is to the wind
ward of the city, the prevailing winds being
from the northeast.
3. The vessels shall hold no communica
tion with the shore at Havana except upon
the written permission of Dr. L). M.
Burgess. All officers of the vessel and mem
bers of the crow are forbidden to
go no shore or on board any
other vessel except upon the written
permission of Dr. Burgess. Nor shall any
person from the shore visit any vessels of
the line, except upon such permission. This
regulation shall likewise apply to Key West
should the necessity arise.
4. The agents of this line at Havana will
require from every person desiring to take
passage, as a prerequisite to obtaining such
passage, a certificate from Dr. Burgess stat
ing that such person has given satisfactory
evidence of having had yellow fever or be
ing acclimated to the Island of Cuba or
neighboring islands, also that such person
comes from a healthy locality.
5. Should any case of fevdr develop on
any vessel of the line after leaving Havana,
it shall be the duty of the Captain to
promptly report the same to the health
officer or the port next reached, i. e. Key
West or Tampa. Such case shall bo consid
ered yellow fever until disproved. All con
taminated bedding and clothes shall be con
sidered infections and subject to such orders
as the health officer may direct.
fi. After leaving poll, the hatches shall be
openedas soon as practicable, and a wind-sail
set that the ship's interior nmv be thor
oughly ventilated. The United States
mans and all baggage to be fumigated in
air tight compartments as directed by Drs.
Burgess, Porter and Wall.
7. The vessels shall be thoroughly
cleansed twice a week as Tampa. All bilge
water shall be removed by pumping and
sponging. The bilge space after being thor
oughly cleansed, shall rx> treated alternately
with bl-ehlorido of mercury and chloride of
lime. Particular attention shall be given
water closets and waste pipes of all kinds
that no offensive odors shall exist.
8. Drs. Burgess and Wall will make a per
sonal inspection of everv portion of each
vessel upon its arrival at Havana or Tampa.
Likewise an Inspection of passengers, offi
cers and crew.
'•*. The bill of health of each vessel on
each trip, shall state clearly and distinctly
whether or not the above requirements have
been complied with.
Having heard these regulations, two
questions are naturally suggested. 1. Are
these niles sufficiently effective and can
they be carried out? ‘A Will they
lie carried out? After a careful inves
tigation we are assured of the practical
working of the above regulations. To those
unacquainted with the facte there might)
seem to be some exceptions, e. g. might not
yellow fever develop on ship-board? As
every passenger has eitheir had the fever oi
ls acclimated, the danger is almost nil.
Bhould such an accident occur, however, the
regulations easily and safely dispose ot the
case. You may ask, as we did. can the
ship lo cleansed and kept so I We solved
the question by making a personal inspection
of the steamer Mascotte, under the guid
ance of Capt. Hanlon. Clad in overhauls
and jumpers, we carefully examined the
entire shin. We found the bilge waterclear
find sweet. No offensive odor was any
where Mroeptible. In fact, the ship was
scrupulously clean and we took pleasure in
congratulating Capt. Hanlon niton her con
dition. It is then an established fact that
tlii-se vessels at least, can lie made clean. It
is a comparatively easy matter, as we saw,
ko keen them so. In Act, Capt. McKay,
now or the Olivette, but formerly of the
Mascotte, said that the only unpleasant
odors about the steamers were those made
the doctors when they fumigated.
I he moat difficult problem as it npjx’arod
jo ua, vyas that regarding the Luggage. Of
purse its fumigation, oven in a closed room,
is unsatisfactory at best. The authorities
must and do, therefore, place restriction*
u pon luggage. Dr. Burgess is instructed to
mow none irom any infected locality to bo
lent on board, and, furthermore, no beds or
bedding of any description whatever will,
nder any circumstances, be received.
.Veil may perceive, still leaves opou an
ivenuoof danger. We must acknowledge
“bo truth of the objection, still, as the doc
ztr Ims unusual facilities for locsting infec
ioum material, we may say that the danger
* r °duced to a minimum. Everything cion-
Ufierad believe that these regulations
all that, sanitary scionce, at present,
am suggest. Under somewhat similar,
itiough Ira* effective rules, < ommorce was
Y" Iwo .Years maintained. However per*
w-t may be nny system of sanitation, that
imi m worthies-, unless conscientiously
m careful ly carried out in its entirety,
ni, loads us to our second inquiry. Will

wo answer, yes.

mi.*}® *9* boon actuated by no feeling* of
"trairtt w philanthropy', but. by purely

This the officials of tue linn fully
tguijco mid realize for Mr. Biant ouid to
“We are not only willing but anxious to
make any improvement which sanitary
science can suggest.”
In discussing the matter with Col. Haines,
he said: .
“These ships were constructed with espe
cial reference to u thorough sanitation and
we shall see that the regulations adopted
shall be carried out to the letter.”
Capt. Fitzgerald remarked:
“When a Captain neglects these rules he
knows we are expecting his resignation.
This is dead sure."
So much for the officials. As regards the
physicians, we al! know them personally or
by reputation. Dr. D. M. Burgess, of Ha
vana, has long been a trusted officer of the
United States Marine Hospital Service, a
man of exceptional ability, and undoubted
good judgement, and withal a conscientious
man. He is our sheet anchor. Drs. J. P.
Wall and J, Y. Porter complete the medi
cal triumvirate. In the former we see a
an ex-President, in the latter the President
of the State Medical Association. Their
names are sufficient guarantee that what
ever work is entrusted to them will be faith
fully performed.
In consideration of these facts we believe
that commerce with the West Indies is not
only posssible, but may be, with safety,
maintained during the summer, without
the restrictions of the old system of quaran
tine*
YARNS ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE.
It Saved Lep Harney’s Life and Did a
Lucky Gambler a Good Turm
From the New York Sun.
Benson, Am., May 16. —Stories of the
earthquake have been coming in during the
last few days In great numbers. Yesterday
morning Lep Harney arrived here with un
account of how- the earthquake saved his
life. Lep had been in this region for many
year*, and while he is well liked by the ma
jority of the Mexicans, he has some inveter
ate enemies among that element. It so hap
pened that on the day of the first shock Lep
was over in the Whetstone mountains when
he encountered Jose Viiliza, a big Mexican,
with whom lie had more than once quarrel.
“I wasn’t armed for greasers,” Lep said.
“I didn’t have any knife, and the only gun
I had was a small affair that was no good
except on a white man. As soon as that
feller put eyos on me he came for me. We
were well up the mountain, and on one side
of us was a pool of w-ater about 100 feet
across and I don’t know- how deep. The
greaser had a gun and a knife, and as he
moved tip I fired once or twice wdth no
effect. Believing that my time had come I
began to say my prayers, when he grabbed
me round the waist, and after dancing me
up and down for a minute until he could get
a good swing, he lifted me high in the air
and over the bluff into the water.
“I’ll bet I sank 150 feet, but by the time I
struck bottom there wasn’t a drop of water
to lie seen. As I went dow-n I could feel a
sort of shiver, but I didn't know for several
days after what caused it. You see I struck
the pond just as the earthquake began, and
by some mysterious process all the water in
that pond was drained off as slick as though
there never had been any there. As I
couldn’t swim, this was a great thing for
me, and if I was inclined to be conceited I
might say that the earthquake came along
on purpose to save me. That greaser would
have drowned me like a rat in a hole. He
intended to fire at me as I was floating
around, but he never got a chance. When
I struck bottom he was skipping for the
level eounti-y with his hftt flying behind
him. It took me the best part of a day to
climb out of that hole, but I made it after a
while. I’m down here now to buy a gun
that’ll carry a slug as big as a tobacco box,
and then I’m going calling.”
Seventy-five miles east of here two
ranches join each other at a place where an
abundance of w-ater has been had from
several springs. For miles in every direc
tion from this spot no water was to bo found.
After the earthquake it was discovered that
the springs had dried up, and there was
groat sorrow on the part of the owners of
the ranches until one of them found that the
waters had broken through on his land
about three-quarters of a mile from the lino
of the other ranch. The man who had the
water wanted more than the other could
afford to pay. While they were arguing,
another shock came along, and the waters
again disappeared, breaking out this time
on the other man’s property at about the
same distance from the old spring. Then he
wanted too much money, and a fight was
about to Itegiij when the flow ceased, and
for a week neither had any water. Now
the old springs have been revived.
Joe Berrageman asserts that the quake
saved him 8 <•>(). He whs in a big game of
poker which had been running for twenty
hours, and as he was a winner he had been
trying to draw but for some time, always at
his peril. Whenever he Intimated his wish
in this respect he was given to understand
that there would be trouble if he did not
hold on a little longer. At length about
3:30 o'clock, when he had just lost about
$l5O on a jack pot, he announced hit* deter
nation of pulling out on the plea that he was
sleepy ana hungry. One of the players was
In a particularly ugly mood, ami as Joe was
putting his roll in "his pocket the other
raised a revolver on him and cried ‘'Halt!”
It was Joe's business to halt, or to pull a
gun and open the fight as well ft* he could
under the circumstances, but in the instant
that he was revolving the matter in his
mind came the rumble and roar of the
earthquake, and the shabby board house in
which they were sitting came down with a
thump that upset more plans than one. As
soon as Joe could get his breath he found
that he was not hurt much, and that while
the others wore floundering around he could
fet away. Ho did so, with his money in
is pocket, and lie is now tolerably well sat
isfied w-ith his experience.
Religious services were in progress last
night at Mine Run when a few rustlers from
the saloons agreed to get up mi earthquake
shock of their own. One of them procured
a tin boiler, and the others loaded them
selves with tomato and oyster cans. Then
marching quietly to the little meeting house,
they waited until everything was still in
side and threw their tinware against the
side of the building There was a rattle
and crash that might, have bean heard a
mile, and the church was empty in less time
than it takes to tell it. It so happened that
one of the biggi*st and toughest men In the
congregation came out through a window
and fell in the crowd of rnsflers, one of
whom lie hit in the neck with su.ih violence
that he cannot turn his head around even
yet without running his tongue out. The
others got away. The service was not re
sumed. the parson delivering the benedic
tion from the front step.
Salvation Lasses.
From the Sydney Bulletin.
English papers are beginning to comment
on the disappearance of bright blooming girls
who used to decorate the Salvation Army.
The spring chickens of that holy band are
almost all gone now and their place is taken
by an assortment of the tougnc.it and st ring
iest old hens on record. This is evidently
tlw beginning of the end. The attractive
hallelujah lasses have been worried out by
the uncouth love-making of such saints ns
Ash Barrel Jimmy and Dead Cat Thomas,
and now these apostles amuse themselves In
a dreary, listless way by mantling the elderly
vellow "girls who remain true to tho cause.
The elderly gil ls enjoy this, but to the
apostles tlirm.se] ve* it is as insipid us odd
soup when compared with the gorgeous fun
of the good old days, and many of them are
dropping off and going on the hustle again.

soys Juvenal, and we think he knew. How
