his failures, and from success gath

from failure wisdom and strength
to avoid error and surmount diffi
culties, ho is hut illy prepared to
continue the combat with his more
prudent fellow man, and when the
balance sheet of life is struck the
chances are that his debits will ex
ceed his credits. All this is true
with man ns an individual, in how
much greater degree does it apply
to us ns an official body. Our fel
low citizens, through their chosen
representatives, the Mayor and
Council, have entrusted to us the
lives of themselves and families, a
responsibilitiv not to be lightly as
sumed or carelessly neglected. To
us has been assigned the duty of
keeping watch and ward over the
sanitary condition of the city. We
sixteen are of interest in connection
with the inspection of vessels. The
first epidemic occurred in Havana
in 1761, and yellow fever has pre
vailed in Cuba from then until the
present time. From the records of
the military hospitals at different
ports of entry, the Commission
have established the following facts:
1. Baraeoa—there were cases of
yellow fever iu the military hospi
tal every year since 1865, except
from February, 1873, to May, 1876.
2. Cuibarien, au insigiuficent
village,and the seaport of Remedios,
about five miles distant—yellow fe
ver occurred in the hospital of Rem
edios every year since 1867, except
in 1873.
3. Cardenas—the records extend
only from 1833 until 1871; yellow
fever occurred iu every year, except
people, who require frequent adrno-j infected during the past season, and hi 1856. Other evidence proves
nition. For the ensuing year I one vessel lost a portion of her
ccr was required to inspect all ves
sels coining into the ]>ort of Bruns
wick, and within this time thirty-
eight vessels arrived from porta
within the United States. This
would show a total of ninety-three
sailing vessels which have passed
under the supervision of the Health
Officer. For a portion of the year
all steamships and steamboats ar

Gt.NTLtMKN—Amidst the kindly
greetings of the new year, it be
hooves us to take a retrospective
glance. “History frequently re
peats itself,' 1 and it is from the les
sons of history that we must learn
to foretell the future. It is from
teachings of the past that man
must gather wisdom to guide his
footstejw in time to come. In

necessity for economy, the Board tions. It will be observed that a

I then for only a few months. The South American and West Indian
These, of course, have a pe-
would recoir mend that an inspec

work by the first of May. I have
been much gratified by the cheer
ful compliance with the sanitary
rules and regulations by all classes
of our |>eople. It is true that some
have been quite careless, but this
has been an exception to the gener
al rule. Much has been and can
be accomplished by the education
of the people to the necessity for
cleanliness in the interest of
health.
As evidence of the healthfulness
of the city, I now present the mor
tuary report for the year 1879, as
follows:

All vessels from foreign ports
were required to be in a cleanly
and healthful condition before a
permit could be granted to proceed
to the city, and those from infected
ports were kept under observation
until thorough cleansing and dis
infection was accomplished, some
of them being detained at quaran
tine from ten to twenty days. I
am gratified to report that there
was not a single case of sickness at
the Quarantine Station during the
year, and that no contagious or in
fectious disease was communicated
to the city from vessels after pass-

duty of guarding the outposts, to
watch that the white-winged mes

our people,did not bring upon them

The United States took from Cu
ba $58,885,162 of its exports (or, de
ducting “specie,” $36,901,332 of Cu
ban products) and exported to Cu
ba, exclusive of “coin and bullion,"
$11,365,013 “merchandise.” Thus,
the total trade with Cuba in 1878,
not the profits of this trwle, which must
necessarily have been much less,
consisted in tlie interchange of
proiluets and merchandise, of which
the total value is only $70,250,125,
while tlie annual average for the
isist ten years has not been more
than about $80,000,000.
So many intricate problems en
ter into tlie calculation of the prof
its derived from commerce, that
even commercial exports would
find it difficult to estimate the val
ue to this country of its trade with
Cuba, and still more difficult to es
timate tlie much smaller profits

It is an established (set that yel
lolv fever is endemic in all the ports
of entry of Cuba. Will the disease
ever he eradicated or controlled to
such an extent that the United
States will not he endangerd by
commercial intercourse with Cuba?
A single glance at tho enormous
sum to remedy somefew of the most
glaring insanitary evils iu Havana
alone, is a sufficient answer to tlie
query. As there is very little hope
that the disease will ever cense to
exist in Cuba, an international sys
tem of quarantine should he agreed
upon by which the United States
can exercise strict surveilance over
all vessels, both domestic nnd for
eign, in the ports of Cuba, destined
for ports in the United States.—
This, together with a rigid quaran
tine at nil ports in the U. 8., upon
vessels sailing from Cuba, at all
seasons of the year, would render
commercial intercourse much safer
than it is nt present. Tlie time
may eome when the people of tlie
Uunitcd States will demand that
there lie a siuqiension of inter
course with Cuba, from tlie first of
June to the first of October of each
year. This, with a rigid inspec
tion of vessels nt all oilier seasons,
would render commercial inter
course comparatively safe, and
would force the trade with Culm
into the other months of the year
without very greatly injuring its
value to the United Slates. Such
interdiction of intercourse, by only
a few ports in the United States,
