Surgeon General Williams of the Marino
hospital service toilay strongly commended
. the visit of the joint subcommittee of the
house and senate immigration committee tu
Cuba , and thinks they will gather some
J-valnublo Information. Havana harbor , he
nays , is closed , and is the receptacle for
sowagoof the militia and other hospitals at
which . \ellowfever and other diseases are
treated , and , in consequence , is always dan
gerous , especially In the .summer season.
'Ilie harbor , ho says , has frequently been
Investigated and reported upon by sanitary
exports from this country , and Its
unlfcalthy condition established. The
danger from disease in the harbor , ho says ,
is so great that the Plant line of hteamcrs ,
plying between Cuba nnd Florida , are
prohibited from casting anchor in the har
bor by the Florida laws , and are required to
tie to mooring buoys , as It is considered dan-
Kerens to. hoist an anchor aboard which has
been imbedded in the mud of Havana har
bor.
bor.Taliapcdra wharf , in the harbor , ho says ,
is so infected with disease that yellow fevci
'invariably breaks out among the crows ol
the vessels that tie .up there unless the
crows are thoroughly acclimated or have
had yellow fever before. The sanitary con
dition of the harbor , ho says , could hi
Kfcatly improved by an additional outlet
which would relieve it of much refuse mat
tor. Hc.sides the poor sanitary condition o !
Havana harbor the danger from imporliiij.
contagious disease from Cuba is greatly In
creased from its close and immediate inter
course with Spanish and other ports.

Mr. Blaine. although very sick , is under
stood to be at , least no worse today than he
has been for some lime past. Karly callers
at his house today were told that Mr. Hlnino
was doing very well indeed , and that after
a comfortable night he seemed to be very
much better this morning. The doctors ,
when they called later , found nothing in the
sick man's condition to occasion any imme
diate apprehension and their report to the
family was : i fairly satisfactory one. At ( i
o'clock this evening Or. Johnson said Mr.
Hlnine hail passed an uneventful day and
that he did not , expect to make another call
at the house tonight.

her head broke her neck , dying Instantly. A
servant in the house escaped.
It is believed that the lire originated from
escaping natural gas. Mrs. Kendall's room
was neated by a natural gas stove , and It is
thought that the gas asphyxiated Mrs.
Kendall , her baby and her sister baforo it
Ignited. This theory is strengthened by the
fact tb.it no screams or groans were hoard
from the victims of the ( lames. The money
loss is small.

T..ONKON. Dec. 1S. ! The newspaper which
contained the story mentioned in yesterday's
dispatches of a duel at Monte Carlo , between
nu American named Hrocklon and a Knsshin ,
known as the Count Peter UonianolT , was
the Vienna Tagehlatt , and not the Derlln
Tngeblatt , as at first reported. A dispatch
today says the American en'ja ed in the
duel was Jay Hrockton and he was not from
Brooklyn , as before stated.
The American and Ilouuiuoff quarreled at
the gambling tables , as before slated ,
Romanoff beinsj the aggressor. The Ameri
can sharply resented an insulting remark on
the part of the count and an immediate chal
lenge was the result. The duel came off In
the grounds of a private villa and evidently
meant a duel to the death. Tim conditions
were twenty-live paces , with liberty to ad
vance within two paces of each other and to
keep on tiring until one or the other should
fall.

Uoth American and Unssian came calmly
to the mark and at tin- word being given
they fired with deadly intent , at tlio same
time btnrting to advance. A bullet from
Hrockton's pistol struck HoinanolV Just above
the heart. The count reeled and fell and in
a few moments expired
Considerable mystery exists as to the
identity ofCount Peter UomunofT. His name ,
real orassumed , has suggested some connec
tion with the imperial family of Ursula. A
newspaper suggests that Count Peter Roman
off may or may not be the traveling incognito
of the Grand Duke Peter Nicolaievitch , who
is the second son of the Grand Dako Is'icoli
Nicolaievitch , who is the/ewir's uncle. The
Brand duke. Peter , was born at 'St. Peters-
bnrg.in ] 8H ( , is aide-do cam ) ) to the emperor ,
cnptiifnof the Lanoiors regiment of the"Tiii-
pcrial guard , and married in IS-S'J at Petorhof
the princess Milite , the oldest daughter of
the prince of Montenegro.
Further particulars'of the duel were re
ceived this evening. Tlio quarrel out of
which the duel grew appears to have been
duo to a misunderstanding on the part of the
count. It seems that Brockton had been
winning heavily nt the gambling tables and
hail tossed a "pour boiro1' to the croupier ,
which tlio count supposed was intended for
him. The count accused Hrocklon of insult-
in ; , ' him by throwing him the coin. Hrockton
denied the charge ami rcl'us"d to explain
that the coin was for the croupier. When
the count asserted that Hrocklon had In
sulted hiiii Hrockton gave him the lie direct ,
and a challenge ensued. Brockton had hocn
hero six weeks and had played at the tables
almost daily. Ho was quite popular.

regarded with suspicion from certain quar
ters.
There are also not. Inching persons who
openly express the belief that UiirondeHeln-

the contrary does not shako their belief.
They argue that underpreseiitclrcinnstances
it is the safer plan for the ininhtre do autop-

explanation for the death , rather than to
seek out these who , these persons claim , are
responsible for the baron's taking off.
Against all these , however , stands the
reputation of Dr. Hrommicl. Tiiusu who
know him declare that nothing the govern
ment could olTcr him would imluco him to
attach his name to a false report , and if such
n reiiort was secretly decided upon , ho would
not in any way bo n party to it.
This report is eagerly discussed , and in
government circles Is taken to end forever
the question ns to the baron's death. The
do ICcinach family , It in supposed , will ac
cept the report ns final , as it routovca from
the baron the stigma ot suicide.
