*0 THE HEALTH OF HAVANA. REPORTS THAT IT IS DETERIORATING DENIED BY DR. FINLAY |r*o- A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TBIBCXE.I Havana. Aug. 15.-The Tribune correspondent to oav called on Dr. Carlos Finlay, who succeeded Major W. C. Gorgas at th close of the government of intervention as chief sanitary officer In charge of the sanitation of Havana, in reference to the charges which have been made in Northern papers of sanitary deterioration in Havana and other cities of the island since the Americans went away. The charges, which have been made in the United States and which received the greatest publicity, were those made by Major George XL Barbour. late sani tary officer at Santiago de Cuba. Dr. Finlay paid that he could answer for no other city than Havana, but that, in hi? opinion, any assertion that the ser vice was not being kept up to the high standard f ft by Major Gorgas was unjust, and not borne out by the figures of the department. The statement has been made that the cities, and especially Havana, were falling into the old condition of filth from which the latter was saved at the appearance of the military government. Dr. Finlay showed the statistics of the forces employed by the sanitary de partment to-day, and proved that there had been practically no change lr. the course which had been observed by the old regime. Dr. Finlay said: In ir.v report which I shall make to the Secretary of Government within a few days I will lay be. ore him these facts: The mortality during the «ion:h of July just past has been BW. or IS.S3 a day. which is equivalent to an annual death rate of twenty-five a thousand Compared with that of the preceding thirty-one days from May 31 to June &.». both dates inclusive, the report of this last month shows «n Increase of twer.ty-four deaths. Almost all of these. however, are due to typhoid fever, tuberculosis, cancer, diarrhoea or enteritis in children under two years of age. On the other hand, there has been a decrease in deaths from nervous diseases and cf the respiratory system, as well as those due to con genital and senile debility. The numbers have not varied so tae diseases of the circulatory system nor In deaths from external causes. The report shows an Increase of .44 in the group of general diseases, which is remarkable, in view of the fact that there have been no deaths nor cases, imported or otherwise, of yellow fever or smallpox, and that the deaths from malaria have decreased to six. from nine the previous month. There were twenty-three deaths from typhoid fever in July, or 1 per cent for every twelve thousand in habitants, which may not be considered an alarm ing :":cure, but the wide area over which the cases have been distributed great Increases the chances for an epidemic, even in a locality like Havana, in ■which the disease does not commonly prevail to any great extent. It is not Improbable, also, that the excess in the mortality among tuberculous and can cerous patients may have been, in a measure, due to secondary infections of the same nature. As pointed out* in previous reports, the use of raw vegetables, which were grown by Chinamen, and which had h^n watered with bad water, was prob ably responsible for sporadic cases of typho d fever ■which have beer occurring since the beginning 01 the year, but it is principally since the breakage in the main pipe of the water supply, near the slaughter house, on June 10. that the disease has assumed a m.ire threatening aspect. During the time that the canal was broken, a period covering •early seven days, the people of Havana were without water, and were forced to pet water where they could. Thus they dipped it from the canals, which were impure, and from wells, cisterns ana springs lying In the subsoil, and neglected to boil it. with the result that they took into their systems impurities that many were not able to purge. Some tlm. ago in company with several others of the Sanitary Department and the government bacteriol ogist, visited the source of our water supply to see If there weie any disease germs therein. Only the presence of non-virulent varieties of the colon bacillus could be found, which did not appear to be m. serious menace to the public health. The department is issuing cautions to the people on the way to prevent contracting typhoid fever The influence of the water supply on the quality or mi'k must especially be borne in mind, inasmuch as "there is danger of its contamination not only tbroagn the fraudulent mixture of Impure water by unscrupulous milkmen, but also by the u=e of con taminated water for the purpose of warning pans, cups or turn rs Into which the milk is poured. For this reason, the people are urged during the summer months to boil their milk every six or eight hours. . .. On the whole, the present report shows a satis factory state of things, so far as the most dreaded diseases are concerned, with the only drawback of a threatened increase of typh.oid fever, which will, it is hoped, be brought under control if the public will heed our warnings. A society for the prevention of cruelty to animals •was farmed here to-day. The society has for its • honorary president General Maximo Gomez, and for its first honorary vice-president Minister Squiers. The organization of the society is due to the efforts of Mrs. Squiers. the wife of the American Minister to Cuba. She has taken a great interest in the work and her connection with the work has en listed the help of the most exclusive and Influential society of the Cuban capital. Mrs. William E. Mason, wife of the Senator from Illinois, is one of the contributors to the fund of the organization. THE BLUEBERRY CROP IX MAINE. Rajjgor. M<=., Aug. 15 (Special).— Long trains of covered wagons, like the caravans of gypsies, are now trailing over the roads leading to the great blueberry plains of Eastern Maine, and soon the harvest of black blue and juicy fruit from the stunted little bushes on the fens and boglands will be in progress. The growth of new blueberry pprouts from the annual spring burning, which took place in April, has been vigorous this year, and the crop is heavy. Each year sees an increase In the blueberry canning industry, and the acreage oevoted to the crop is constantly widening. Wash ington County blueberries are known and liked ■wherever canned goods go. and the demand Is gen erally in excess of the supply. Hancock County, also, produces large crops. Lands burned over one year •will bear a heavy crop cf blueberries in the following summer; after that, the crop decrease?, and to secure a good yield the lands are burned over .-very second or third year. Seventy-five bushels of berries to the acre is not an uncommon crop wh6re the bushes are fairly thick I as: year one Cherryfleld man har vested 1.000 bushels. The factories have nearly all been fitted with mod ern machinery, and some of them have a canning capacity of from ON to MO bushels of blueberries a day. The harvesting season begins about August 10. and continues six or eight weeks, and during tnat period the plains look iike the camping ground of an army, with The many white tents of the pickers scattered for miles over the level expanse. V.'hole families, from near by and from distant pans of the State as well, leave their homes in the picking season and camp out on the plain?, having a Jolly time and earning considerable sums of money. Small children often earn from }" to Si a day. while m*"n who are experts with the twenty three pronged rake make as much as $•"• or S." a day. The blueberry lands were formely used for graz ing purposes, and were then worth about $1 an acre; now the owners lease the lands to the berry pickers, receiving a royalty of one cent a quart en the crop, and in that way they get an income of about pa an acre, annually. One landowner's revenue from this source, last season was JloO a. day during the harvest time. PERU AND THE PANAMA CANAL. The latest papers at hand from South America publish enthusiastic articles and communications applauding the action of the United States Congress in regard to the Panama Canal. They express their action, quite natural after all, at knowing that the Nicaragua project has been set aside, and they foresee immense advantages, political and commercial, from the opening of the canal at Pan ama. A former President of the Argentine Re public, who was also Minister of Finances, and •whose practical manner of looking at future events is a proverb in South America, shows In a leader of his own paper. "El Pals," of Buenos Ayres. that the Panama Canal will greatly increase the im portance of the Peruvian port of CaKao. while It •will diminish considerably that of Montevideo, and cause the complete disappearance of the impor tance of the Chilian port of Valparaiso, a per spective which is calculated not to displease an Argentine patriot. But nowhere as in Peru, which has so often proved that it is the most sincere friend of the United States in Latin America, has the vote of Congress been received with deeper enthusiasm and gratitude. "Th«? signing by President Roose velt," says "El Comerclo." of Lima, "amounts to the signing of the definitive supremacy of Peru In the South Pacific, though people may not have been perfectly consciou* of that result. Dreams are often realized. Bolivar was the first to have dre«med in regard to the Panama Canal. And who doubts now that its opening wlil be to our advan tage? . . . The victory of that canal at Washing- I ton is the victory of Peru In all the Southern Pa cific." And. after having detailed how the Peru vians will be enabled to develop the Immense nat ural riches of their country', 'he writer exclaims "Then, on the lips of our patriotic orators will sound the names of Senator Hanna and of Presi dent Roosevelt."

FREE SEEDS FOR FARMERS. CONGRESS MEMBERS' CHANCE TO IN CREASE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.] Washington. Aug. 2] — Disregarding the numerous protests filed by seedsmen and agricultural socie ties. Congress, at the last session, appropriated $270,000 for the annual seed distribution and practi cally instructed the Secretary of Agriculture to In vest that amount in seeds to be sent out on the orders of Individual members of Congress. Secre tary Wilson has now turned his attention to the perfecting of a system whereby the distribution wight be made of the utmost utility to agriculture, to the members of Congress, and beneficial to some extent to American seed dealers. Abrogating the custom of awarding a contract for the total sum to such seed dealers as might submit the lowest bid the Secretary has intrusted the purchase of the seeds to the bureau of plant Industry, and it will be carried into effect by experts. The most im proved machinery has been purchased and will soon be installed In the buildings of the depart ment. By its use manual labor will be reduced to a minimum, the seed being weighed, inclosed in envelopes, and five of the smaller envelopes Inclosed in a larger one by a single machine. Another ma chine will attach to the larger envelope the ad dressed labels of franks furnished by the Congress- eeeds, plants, etc.. to be sent out will be di vided Into three principal classes (novelty seeds and plant.) sent to the public schools and he ordinary garden seed such as has been distributed in the last years. As the seed business of the country has developed It has become "wtomary for retail seedsmen to procure their seed from growers who are specialists confining their efforts to one or a few vegetables or flowers. These spe cialists are constantly producing new varieties -snorts.- as they are known technically: novel ties" a- they are listed in the catalogues. The arrangements for this year's distribution provide that the allotment made to each member of Con ere«s shall contain 5"0 packages, each containing five" packets of "novelties." These packets will be accompanied by directions for growing and the name of the grower, with the statement that If the recipients find after a trial the novelty is worthy of further attention he can obtain more seed from the grower. By this means It is believed that an extensive trial will be obtained for each novelty and ma-- : benefit will accrue to the grower or to the retail seedsman who contracts for his product. Dr. Galloway, chief of the bureau, under whose special direction the seed distribution will be mode, states that by next year the depart ment will be able to secure a sufficient number of novelties to permit of the allotment of 1.508 pack ages to each member of Congress. MORE CHANCES FOR CROPS. A sub-division under th« head of novelties will include the seed for a number of new varieties of farm crops which the department desires to bring to the attention of farmers. In this class will be included sugar beets, tobacco, cotton, wheat, rice and forage crops. The sugar beet seed will be American grown, from beets which have produced 21 per cent of sugar. Heretofore practically all sugar beet seed has been imported, the total Im ports of that commodity amounting last year to J500.000L If equal cr better seed can be grown at home the saving to American farmers will prove material. The cotton seed Will be from plants bred under the direction of the scientists of the department. They are a cross between the Sea Inland and the upland cottons, and combine the long staple of the former with the thriftiness of the Vhe tobacco seed will be selected in the light of the success attained by the department experts In Connecticut, and will be sent with the special hope of locating soils which will produce satisfactory fillers to use with the Connecticut grown Sumatra wrappers. The wheat will be known as the macaroni va riety which has already been introduced to some extent in the Northwest, and has yielded excep tional profits to the growers. The rice will be of Improved varieties. especially adapted to the con ditions in the rice growing States. The forag* crop seeds will include the velvet bean for th» Southern States, sorghum for the Middle States, with Turkestan alfalfa, to procure which Professor Ernest Bessy, of the department, is now in Turk estan for the northwest. The seed of the varie ties mentioned will bo distributed only in small mia^tities and the farmers will be referred to Smen for further supplies, by which means It te hoped to make the distribution a benefit to the Be f dneve?osmentd n eve?osment of the distribution which 1* in line both with Secretary Wilson's desire that at least the elementary principles of agriculture tl made a Dart of the common school course and wit "the trowing : favor with which "nature study" iV regarded by leading educators consists of the distribution to school.- To each member of Con *reßs will be allotted special packages or seeds for presentation to the schools of his State or dls trlCt" SELECTION OF SEEDS. - The^e seeds will be selected with a view to their adaptability to growth in window boxes or small gardens. It is believed by the secretary that the growing plants can be made the baste of teaching the first principles of agriculture, and that they will afford the greatest assistance to teachers in the popular nature study. From the germination of the sown seed to maturing a constant series of practical object lessons will be afforded, and the use of the living plant will serve to nx in the pupil's memory a vast amount of information, while the care of the little gardens will train the power of observation. In this connection a small number of tiny trees have been set aside for donation to the schools, both with a view to affording a means of educating the pupils and to some extent of beautifying the school grounds. ' _ Of course, it will fall to the members of Congress to sanction this feature of the programme ar ranged by Secretary Wilson, as to them is left the designation of the recipients of the seeds trees, etc ; but. speaking from a practical Knowledge of politics the Secretary asserts that every Senator and Representative wilj quickly recognise th.: ad vantages to be gained by making friends of the children Mr. Wilson also anticipates that thin feature of the distribution will prove extremely popular with the teachers, and will in that way re flert favorably upon toe Congressman who remem bers the schools of his district. One other feature of the seed distribution, as re organized this year, consists of the arbitrary divi sion of the country into seven districts, to each of which will be sent only seeds suitable to that locality By this means the sending of cotton seed to Maine or of tobacco to North Dakota, one of the errors of former years which have made the seed distribution ridiculous and unpopular, will bo avoided. MRS. BALVB COMPLAINT STANDS. JUSTICE STOVER OVERRULES DEMURRER INTER POSED BT ADMINISTRATORS OF ESTATE OF GEORGE P. GILMAN. Justice Stover, in the Supreme Court yesterday, overruled the demurrer interposed by the defend ants in the suit brought by Mrs. Helen Potter Hall against Theophllus Oilman and Edward T. Norton, the administrators of the estate of George F. Oilman, the wealthy tea merchant, and a number of other defendants, including the relatives and next of kin of Mr. Oilman. Mrs. Hall declared that .Mr. Gllman had adopted her as his daughter and had entered Into a contract verbally with her that If she would care for him during his life as a daughter should a father he would leave her all his property upon his death. He did not do so. and she brought her action to re cover possession of all his estate, both real and personal, under the agreement. The defendants demurred to the complaint on the ground that It did not give facts sufficient to con stitute a cause of action, and also that two causes of action, one affecting the real and the other the personal estate of Mr. Oilman, were improperly Joined. Justice Stover overrules the demurrer Having that the complaint sets forth a cause of action, and that all the Interests of both the plain tiff and the defendants In the property can be fully determined on the trial of the suit.

The shoot ing occurred at Coleman's home on Wednusday night, and Johnson, who is also colored, died early yesterday mo'rnlng. The two men quarrelled over Coleman's wife, with whom Johnson formerly lived. She was arrested as a witness. NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. AUGUST 22. 1902. COROX ATION D FESTIVITIES IN* HONOR OF THE OCCASION*— ST. CROIX PEOPLE FOLD THEIR HANDS IN DESPAIR AT THE DELAY IN THE TRANSFER. rFtom an Occasional Correspondent of The- Tribune.) St. Thomas. Danish West Indies, August 9. A coronation service was held at the Episcopal church this morning at 9 a. m. by the Yen. Archdeacon Eyare Hutson. M. A. K. D., British Consular Chaplain. There was a goodly gathering of government officials, members of the Colonial Council, foreign consuls and leading citizens, and the church was filled with a large congregation. An illuminated address to his Majesty King Ed ward and Queen Alexandra was signed in the vestry room after the service was over. From early morn the town put on a festive ap pearance, nearly every dwelling of consequence displaying a flag of some nationality, most of them being Danish, American and English. Many of the stores were decorated. One of them attracted considerable attention, flags, streamers, garlands, flowers, devices of "God Save the King" and "God Save the Queen." with large portraits of their majesties, being prominent. Lines of cabs, carrying tiny flags, rosettes and flowers, paraded the streets. Nearly every second person had on a medal. Crowds wended their way to the parade ground, where a coronation cricket match was being played. All the principal stores were closed. One would have thought it was a Danish king being crowned. Only the fact that a Danish princess was being made queen of one of the greatest empires history has known might have been urged as a reason for such a celebration. But St. Thomas is a place to which many come from the neighboring British Islands to earn their daily bread, and maybe these were loudest in their expressions of loyalty to his Majesty King Ed ward. They did not forget Alexandra as revered by the St. Thomlans, and each vied with the other in celebrating the Joyful occasion. So tor one day, at least, the people here managed to forget some of their cares and anxieties, espe cially those in connection with the sale of these islands. News from St. Croix is peculiarly dis tressing, the laborers now getting only three days" work a week and several planters who were man agers are working on overseer's pay. There re main only two anti-sale planters in the field. The one has gone to Copenhagen, and the other, who is etlll on the Island, and anti-sale, It is said, on the surface, would be glad if the islands were under "Old Glory" to-day. As to the rest of the inhabi tants, from the planter to the storekeeper, they have sunk Into a state of apathy, in view of their present misfortunes. An attempt to get up another appeal to the Ministry failed, not from unwilling ness on the part of those to whom the idea was suggested, but because they believe it la no use to ask anything from those who have so shamefully left them to future poverty a.nd distress. Discouraged and disheartened, the best part of them refused even to meet and discuss the advisa bility of such a step. Chat his excel] the Governor realizes the gravity or the situation ia evident. He is a man who has the interest of these Islands at heart. Compelled to be neutral, he still sees the necessity for something being done, and that promptly, to save St. Croix from irretrievable ruin. It is known that he has questioned one of the largest owners and merchants as to the truth of his having curtailed expenses by discharging managers aad reducing the number of days of labor on the estates. He desired the information direct, so it is said, as he was about to write a strong letter on the subject to the home govern ment In order to convince them of the serious con dition of affairs and how impossible It was for BL Croix to go on under present conditions. Even the people of St Thomas, who I ■■'■■ always believed that St. Croix never would have been bo great a sufferer through the delay in the transfer, can hardly realize the depth of ruin into whicn that beautiful and once prosperous Island Is fast plnk- In* That St. Thomas will be a sufferer, also, by and by. through business relations in connection with St. Croix is not doubted.
