Colonel Whiteside has had the co-opcrn-tlon
of the city authorities, wuo have made
It n misdemeanor, punlshnblo with 11 tip or
Imprisonment, to resist this Inspection, or
to fall to carry out tho resulting orders.
Whero poverty prevents compliances with
orders to clean tip tho work Is done at the
public expense, but public or private, thu
work has to bo done. Kvcry house where
yellow fever occurred last year has bien
disinfected threo times, nighty-flvo miles
of streets In Santiago liao been swept dully
nnd 25,000 cubic yards of snccplngs have
been hauled out of tho elty during tho year.
Unit hundred ttud eighty thottsnnds ruble
yards of garbage have been removed, In the
destruction of which 35,000 gallons of erudi
pctroloum hn"o been used. l-'our thousand
gallons of carbolic arid and 11,000 pounds
of chlorldo of llmo luivo nlfo been employed
In tho work. .No street engineering work
entailing excavation hail been permitted.
A census of nonimmune, persons was
mndo, every Individual liable to tin attneU
of fever being located, with occupation nnd
phieu of residence, nnd nil could have been
hurried to tho country within ten hours had
tho fever appeared. Under penalty of lines
for noncompliance, boarding houses and ho
tels report all arrivals every twenty-four
hours to tho chief surgeon. Under similar
penalties for neglect all cases of sickness
arc reported within twenty-four hours by
any keeper of a public house In which It
may occur, or by any physlclnn having
knowledgo of It. Tho result of this work
la thut there has been no fever In tho city
alnco last December. Had fever como In
splto of nil that was dono everything was
organized to take raro of It. Tho yellow
fever hospital Ih located on tlio Islnnd of
Haul, n full mile from the city. It has Itn
own whnrf, n launch and light nnd tole
phnno connections with the city. The whole
establishment, happily In enforced Idleness
for a year. Is ready at any moment to meet
the crisis should It come.
Thero are no soldiers stationed within
tho city. No troops lu tho stations that
encircle, tho city am allowed to enter, ex
cept between 8 o'clock In tho morning nnd
G In the afternoon, nnd then only on busi
ness. Tho yellow fever baccllll never fol
lows a man down tint street nnd attacks
him in the sunlight, so that ono may go
about a fever-Infested city whllo tho sun
shines with comparative Impunity.
Tho banishment of yellow fever from this
city, Its favorlto habitation for 300 or 100
years, has been accomplished by American
cleanliness nnd energy Intelligently di
rected by the military authorities and Us
absonco has been no freak or accident.

DKNVKH', Colo,. Nov. 17. "Well no
other parents will suffer from thut brute's
crimes." Theso wuru tho words of Mrs,
Frost today, when asked for an expression
on thu punishment of the negro who con
fessed that ho was the murderer of her
child. "Of lourse, I was not consulted as
to tho punishment to be meted out, nnd I
did not know what futo awaited him," she
continued. "I did nut care, just eo he was
tcmoved from tho fuce of thu earth. "Noth
ing can ntotio for tho death of my baby, and
I did not have the feeling of revenge, which
fo many people snld ought to possess me.
My only thought Was to save others tho
pain wo sulfered. Whutevcr was dono with
that bruto was right, no matter what, Cer
tainly ho did not surfer what I.oulio did, and
sho was innocent, whllo ho was guilty. Mny
bo I would have some pity were 1 not her
mother. No one, but a parent of nn out
raged nnd murdered child can know Just
how I feel."
Tho murdered child's father, Robert V.
Frost, returned to Denver todny from tho
scene of thu lynching. "A great load has
been Uitud off us, tald he, "and as for mo,
I don't caro who condemns me for start
ing tho blaze. No other father will havu
to do what I did on account of that nig
ger, nnd, as I said before, If the brtlto had
been lynched for his first offense lu Kan
sns, baby would bo alive toduy and our
hearts would not bo broken."

WASHINOTON, Nov. 17. The tests of tho
nuw 12-luch naval gun within the last throa
days havo resulted in some remarkable
performances, entitling the gun to rank
ahead of any of thu other 12-Inch guus
thus far made, In this country or abrond.
It was known that tho tests had bceu most
successful, but It wns not until Admiral
O'Noll received today from Lieutenant
Straus, commandant of tho Indian Head
proving ground, tho detailed report of the
tests that It was known that tho monster
weupon had eclipsed all former records
for oloclty and power. With a charge of
SCO pounds of Binokclcss power, giving a
pressure ot sixteen and n half tons per
squaro Inch, the gun gave a muzzle velocity
of 2.S34 feet. Prof. Alger, tho naval expert,
snys this Is the highest over attained by a
12-Inch gun, tho record thus far ranging
from 2,C0O to 2,600 feet. With nn 850-pound
steel tipped projectile the big gun would
