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 , rule* ho oarrie*l out! In ail human wo answer, yes. - o, I’' the establishment of this Jin*' Mr. mi.*}® *9* boon actuated by no feeling* of "trairtt w philanthropy', but. by purely motive*. The auroraa of the un tnrtx ’’ ** not proportionate to its safety tui .a dependent upon an absolute sanitary 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.
