two others and then make good

, I UNHEALTHFUL HAVANA.
»I
With due allowance for exag-
- geratiou, Havana may be truth-
- i fully pronounced a very dirty
■ and unheilthfnl city. Consider
r iug its size and fonauaercial im
’ portanoe, it is probably the dir
' i tieet and most unsanitary city
in the Wtateru Hemisphere.
Capt. Davis, who was appoint
ed by Geu. Greene some time
, ago t® make a thorough inspec
tion cf the iity , has nearly com
pleted his and pronounces
Havana the most unsanitary
} place, under existing conditions,
or. the Western side of the At
lantic.
Vienna, with a million and
halt population, he says, aver
ages only 25 death® to the thou
sand and it i® called the pesthole
lof Europe, wliile Have.ua, with
one-sixth as many people, shows
i a larger death rat® in 11 mon’h®
than Vienahas In 12. He eeti
iiiates that the deaths in Havana
this year will outnumber those
of Chicago, which is seven times
as populous by 5,000, aud will
exceed the total® of Boston, St,
Louis, San Francisco and Bal-
• timore combined.
These comparisons show the
imperative necessity for subject
ing Havana to the most rigot
ous system of sanitation it is
posible te establish with the;
means at hand.
