Secretary Alger has received a long letter from Generalc Leonard Wood , military governor of Sanr | tlago. It Is personal to a great extent , but ' deals with many questions of Interest to thu < 1 public and Secretary Alger has allowed some extracts to bo published. General Wood sa > s In part : I have hml n very difficult position from I a sanltaiy point of view , and not altogether I an easy ono fiom a military and civil stand-I I point , \\hen wo came Into the city the I sanitary situation was something frightful. There were a great many unburlcd dead In the houses , between 2,000 and 3,000 Spanish wounded and sick , and a great horde of balf-famlsbed and sick people , nearly 20,000 in number , who had Just returned from Cl Coney , where they had gone during the siege. The water supply of the city had I been cut off ; there was no water to be ob- talncd except from cisterns and a few wells 1 nnd the streets were lull of dead animals and all sorts of Illtliy materials. I had to ' etart in from the bottom and lepulr the | water works. Then came the removal of the dead. Some of these were burned , be-1 cuuso the number WUH so great nnd decompo sition had advanced to such an extent they could not bo burled. Burning is not un commonly practiced here during the cpl-1 denilc season. Wa have yellow fever all around us , and about twenty cases in the Spanish mili tary hospital. The civil hospital was full of dying people , and public buildings were being used us hospitals. On the whole , It was an extremely dlfllcult task , requiring hard work. I have been working syste matically with every means at hand to Improve the sanitary condition of the city. It 18 In this department that a vast amount of work has been done. I ha\o a force of 170 men constantly cmplo > cd , nnd at many I times have had nearlv double this force | i working day nnd night to remove the vast accumulations of Indescribable tilth which | I has accumulated In the outhouses and vards , as well tin the streets of the cltv. which li , reputed to bo ono of the most unhealthy and I dirty In the world. The death-rate has dropped steadily since wo came in nnd Is. 1 now about one-fourth of what it wax In I July. The water system has been put In I order and a great many repairs made to It and the supply , although insufficient , Is utilized to the greatest advantage. It has long been the custom In this town to depend upon heavy rains and the rushing Hoods through the ttreets to sweep awaj the accumulated tilth of the dry eeasxin. All I this has been swept down to the water front , ' where It has been collected for years , chok i ing the drain so that when the tide goes 1 i out masses of dumping material nro exposed 1 to the intense rays of the sun and furnish i frightful cause of disease. Later thin year , > when the epidemic season shall have passed , it is my intention , it I ant granted funds 1 and authority , to have the shallow places i dredged out , to that at least a thin layer , of water will cover them at low tide and prevent the present condition of affairs. The great expert on yellow fever , Dr. Guiterns. assured mo In July that an epi [ demic of yellow fever of great severity was absolutely unavoidable and that wo were ) destined to lose a largo proportion ot our people here. Thug far It has been avoided , i and not only avoided , but today I don't I know of nn authentic case of genuine yellow fever In Santiago tie Cuba proper nnd every day Increases our chances of escape General Wood communlci'es ' the gratify ing intelligence that all indication : ) now ' point to the speedy dl bucdlng of the Cuban army. Ho soys the feel rs of the better class of Cubaut toward the Americans Is very kind and they appreciate what the United States is trjliig to do. The general le very hopeful that nvt'i-ythlng will coma out all right. No ono can toll , ho says , tow long ' It will take 'c to cstnbisn a stable gov ernment , but ho thinks It will bo qulto a period of time.

General J. B. Gordon , commnuder-lu-chlef of the United Confederate Veterans , is at his plantation ' near here , resting and at Intervals pursuing - suing his literary work. When shown the Associated Press story In which Miss Lucy Hill claims ito have had 'tho ' title "Daugu- i tcr of the Confederacy" conferred on her by her southern friends since the death of Wlnnlo Davis , General Gordon was asked if the title could bo thus conferred and replied with earnestness : "Empbati- cally no. Miss Wlnnlo was the only daughter - ter of President Davis born in the confcde- rate white house during the life of the confederacy. As Jefferson Davis was the only president of the confederate govern ment , , no daughter of any other official could truly represent the confederacy. For that icason it would not be appropriate to call < > veu the daughter of General Jtobert E. Lee the "Daughter of the Confederacy. " To designate any one else as 'Daughter of the Confederacy' would not only bo Inappro- prlato aud meaningless , but would ileprhe. the title of all Its \alue. "In the very nature of the case no one except Miss Wlnnlo Davis Is entitled to bo called the 'Daughter of the Confederacy. ' i { That title was unique and peculiarly her j 1 own , and is very properly 'to be placed on her tomb. To , designate any one clso by that title would be almost sacrilege. j ' "As with Jefferson Davis passed the title of president of the confederacy , so with Miss Winnie has passed that of 'Daughter of the Confederacy.

The condi tion of the Catholic church throughout the country will bu considered at the annual meeting of the archbishops of the United States , which will bo held at the Catholic university , beginning October 11. A full attendance - tondanco j of the leading figures of the church Is expected , including Archbishop Kcane j , who has como from Homo to at- tend j the annual gathering. The directors I of the university hold their annual meet- | Ing | at the same time. It is understood that the j archbishops will deal with llttlo outf side routine affairs of the church , as thcro are , no large questions pending. It Is said that the meeting will not deal with the questions of Catholic authority In Cuba , , I'aKo Klco and the Philippines. So . far as Cuba and Porto Rico are concerned , they ( are under an established Catholic archbishopric ( , which will not bo disturbed In , any way. The church authority Is centered ! tered at Santiago , that being the old capi tal of tbo Island , and the archbishop of Santiago has two suffragans , ono at Ha vana and another in Porto Rico. The bishops at the two latter points as well as ' Cho archbishop of Santiago will remain In control of Catholic affairs. The purpose IB to mold upheavals such as would result from a sudden change In the governing powers of the church In these quarters , so that no changes will be made until they come about naturally by death or retire ment. The Catholic authorities are expecting early word from Rome as to the new arch bishop of Santa Fe , who takes the place of Archbishop Chapelle , now at Now Orleans. The nominations for the Santa Fe arch bishopric have been sent to Rome , al though the name selected may bo outside of those in the nominating list. The rfccnt death of the bishop of Harrlsburg leaves a vacancy in that post , which , however , will not be filled for Eomo time. ron wnyrnux SnrvUoi-N of ri ll AVnr Itciiirinlicrril hj' the ( icncril !

HAY PAYS TRIBUTE TO BAYARD Chnriu-trr Which I.uft nn IinproMH on llln Time AVIilfh Will hnr- il\c HIM Death. WASHINGTON , Sept. 30. The following tribute to Thomas F. Bayard was written by Secretory of State John Hay : The news of Mr. Bayard's fatal illness followed so swiftly by the tidings of his lamented j death came upon his many friends with a singular shock. Ono of the elements of the lemarkablo charm which. distinguished him was his persistent youth- fulnees. ' His handsome face was always young , ho bad the voice and the bearing of buojant youth ; his enthusiasms and quick emotions were those of a mirc-mlndcd and ' high-spirited 1 boy. Ills scorn of everything mean or base ; his disregard of consequences quences in the pursuit of what ho thought right ; his frank expectation of that sympa thy which he was so ready to gl\e ; his be lief in the sincerity of others , being him self absolutely sincere ; all of these quali ties , e\en more than his good looks and . gallant bearing , gave the Impression not I I only of a young man , but of one who would i always bo young. It is hard to think that I ' the rigid limit of three score and ten years should be the term of fao much activity and energy. IJut the fine vitality and power of such a character will survive his death. In the affection of those who knew him : as a mcdel and example to those who admired him , ho will live long as nn endurlnc memory and a wholesome Inspiration. rhronlc UlnrrlifuMi curort.

Narrow guipure over black velvet follows the line of the double shaped rullle , the latter appearing as a continuation of the bodice , while over the shoulders Is a circular bretelle Tbo jacket part beneath Is cut In a sharp point abe > o the waist line , disclosing a vent and belt of velvet in the new tone of ruby red. This little walatcoat opens over a. chemisette of Irish lare. Tha bretelle broadens at the shoulder , rendering more graceful the top of the plain clouo sleeve , then is divided at the back below the high straight collar. The skirt , very smooth over the hips , has no pleat or ehlrrlngs at the waist linn , the back breadths being sloped outward It ) fan effect , and falling Into natural folds. Tbo width of the skirt at the foot Is four yards. The proper cut of this gown can bo obtained only by use of the cut paper patterns furnliihed by Harper's Bazar , wboro tbo gown appears , In many French gowns the stiffening in skirts Is now replaced by overlapping ruflles on the upper and under sides of a shaped tlounco of the foundation skirt , and soft wool linings are sometimes substituted for the silk or natln.
