Sir : I have the honor to inform you that 88 deaths have been reported for the week ended February 5. Of these, 3 were from tuberculosis, 6 from dysentery, 5 from enteritis, 4 from typhomalaria, 9 from per- nicious and 7 from remittent fevers, 12 from anaemia and dropsy ; the rest from common diseases of noncontagious or noninfectious character. I am happy to inform you that the death rate has somewhat diminished, and the fact is owing to the use of quinine in large quantities which the United States consul, aided by commissions of charitable ladies, has distributed among the poor who can' t afford to pay for it. The announced arrival of a lot of provisions will help us greatly in our humane work and will improve the general sanitary condition of Santiago de Cuba. Respectfully, Dr. H. S.
