CUBA'S FOREIGN TRADE.
The f uMoma officials at Havana re
port that for the three months of July
August September the Imports Into
Cuba from the United States were val
ued at $5,361,795 In a total Importation
for the rwrlnil valued at il4Sl?T
That is a gratifying showing at" first
sight. Cuba bought very much more
from us than from any other country.
Still, of her total foreign purchases
aha took considerably less than half
from the country whose government
set her free only 3S percent, while she
bought 61 percent of her foreign good
from other countries.
These purchases were -widely dis
tributed. From Spain the people of
Cuba took 17 percent, IS percent from
England,, percent from France and
S percent from Germany. ' From coun
tries in the western hemisphere other
than the United States the Imports
were 18 percent, other countries In Eu
rope 1 percent and from elsewhere
percent. In these figures are clearly-
shown the force of habit and trade tra
dttion; Cuba still goes to Spain for a
good bit of her foreign goods 17 per
cent in that three months' period and
the reason is, in large measure, because
Spain knows exactly what sort of wares
the Cubans like and will buy freely.
On the other hand, Spain herself took
only 3 percent of the exports from Cu
ba during these three months. Possib
ly, Spain wouldn't buy a single dollar's
worth, if she could help it. To the Unit
ed States went 82 percent of these Cu
ban exports, 7 percent to England,
percent to Germany and 1 percent to
France.
To summarize, the people of the Unit
ed States are buying 82 percent of what
Cuba exports; the Cubans are buying
of the United States only 39 percent of
what they import. We are doing vastly
better by them than they are by us. If
the ratification of the Cuban treaty
would help' to equalize this trade and
It is quite generally agreed that it
would congress shouldn't hold that in
strument up another day.
An excellent recommendation was
made by the committee on hygiene of
the Ftate Medical society In Its report
on tuberculosis to the convention at
Albany this week, says the New fork
Commercial. It was that of compul
sory registration in the proper office by
every physician of evry case of tuber
culosis, and that in case of death the
house be thoroughly disinfected by the
ptoper health officers. This Is an In
telligent and common sense view of a
most deadly disease and of the pre
cautions necessary to check its spread,
to stamp it out and help the afflict
ed. The committee recommended a
receiving hospital In every city, and
county seat in thinly settled districts,
to which should be sent every case of
tuberculosis among the poor. From
there incipient cases would be sent to
the state sanitarium for the poor. The
physicians take the position that cures
ai-e possible in almost every stage of
the disease under favorable conditions.
Persons suffering from tuberculosis,
surrounded by unfavorable conditions,
as they are bound to be in the crowded
tenements, are certain to die; not only
that, but they are a source of contagion
and others who occupy their rooms and
beds Invariably contract the dlseaf-e.
That Is why it has spread so In the
last few years. If we recognize the
danger and take the proper course to
meet it, ns the physicians reeommnd in
the) ' convention, It is only a question
of time w hen the disfnse will be eradicated-,
resides, those of the poor al
ready afflicted would receive better
attention than ihey possibly could get
at their homes, and there would be the
additional chance of working a cure
There are many plagues that cause us

mattof of health precautionary meas
ures. Says that Journal: "Not only
the profession but also the public is
awaking to the fact that the present
condition ot sanatary administration,
or, rather, anarchy, in Oregon is no
longer tolerable. The fact seems to N?
dawning upon us that Oreron is one of
the only three states in the Union
which are not provided with a state
board of health, and several of the semi
civllUed territories are ahead of her in
this respect. What makes the sltua- '
tion worse la that the only authorities j
having any power of dealing with cases
of infectious disease are the city physl-'
clans and the county physicians, and !
i
that many counties in the state do not
even appoint a county physician. So
that the situation has presented itself
time nd again of cases and epidemics
of Infectious diseases upon the very
edge of Ihe city limits of a town pour
ing their contagion across the lmagln-;
ary boundary continually, and yet tit-,
terly beyond the control of any legally ;
i
constituted authority. It Is not exag- j
geration to say in fact, it has beenj
proven most painfully by repeated in-!
stances within the past two years that
cases of diphtheria, of smallpox and of
scarlet fever may occur In the outly
ing districts of the town, just over the
city line, and be utterly beyond any
quarantine regulations whatever, ex
cept what they may choose to submit
to themselves. The only recourse that
the municipality has is the ancient and
barbaric method of establishing a cor
don of police and preventing by force of
arms the members of the Infected fam
ily from entering the town.
