Havnna’s'iConditlon Dreadful. Health Officer Alvuh H. Doty, who has just returned from Havana on the steamship Orizaba, said he found the Cuban capital in a frightful sunitary condition. lie appointed resident physicians at Ilav&nn, Santiago and Cienfugos, who will see that the laws of the port of New York in regard to passengers from fever-i()fec-ted places ara.enforeed nt the po(nt o? emoiu'kajtigu. Dr. Doty .gpuld not fin,d, the health officer or the health office jn Havana. “Within the last two weeks lir&cc-ding my departure,”'Dr. Doty said, “there were 300 eases of yellow fever'' there. No attempt has been made to sewer the city properly. By simply cutting through a narrow strip of land and dredging a channel the city's refuse might be carried into the Gulf stream and far out to sea. With proper sanitary precautions Havana would be a remarkably fine city. The Spanish soldiers get sick on their wityto Havana in the transports. When they land some 6f them are half-deud from the' effects of the fever.” Dr. Doty had a talk with Consul General Lee, who, the Doctor says, is awakened at all hours of the night by people who want him to stop the execution of friends or relatives. If there is a chance to save them, Gen. Lee, the Doctor says, immediately tries to do so.

Plot for Freedom. An official dispatch received in Madrid from Manila announces the discovery in the Philippine Islands of a separatist conspiracy, the object being to secure independence from Spain. According to the official advices, twenty-one persons linve already been arrested. The news lias caused great excitement in Madrid and the police in consequence to-night raided the Hispano Philippine Club and seized a large quantity of papers. Madrid papers during the week contained frequent expressions indicating that a revolt in the Philippine Islands might be expected in the near future. It was even suggested by the papers that Japan was endeavoring to foment trouble in that part of the Spanish possessions for the purpose of extending the jurisdiction of her island empire over the Philippine Islnnds. The Philippine Islands lie only about 1150 miles south newly acquired Japanese possessions of Formosa, a uumber of small islands intervening. Spain's army in the Philippine Islands is estimated at seven regiments of infantry and one of artillery, with a-squadron of cavalry, the' total effective force being BtM officers and about 110,000 men.

i,WI!KKLI REVIEW OF TRADE. Political Events Seem to Have Little Effect Upon the Markets. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: Political events of the week had no definite influence ui>on business prospects, for the phenomenal variations in sterling exchange and the beginning of im[xirts of gold may be fairly attributed to the accumulating excess of merchandise exports over imports, exports from New York for the last two weeks having been 20 per cent, larger and imports here 21 per cent, smaller than last year. The rapid movement of grain aud the unusually early marketing of cotton tend strongly to aid the banking syndicate which has undertaken to regulate foreign exchange. Speculation lias advanced exchange. Speculation has advanced wheat over 1 cent during the week, corn a small fraction and cotton % cents, the principal motive power being reports of injury to growiug crops. The unfavorable accounts respecting wheat are iu some measure discredited by the continued heavy movement from the farms. Western receipts having been 10,01)7,137 bushels in the two \ygpks, against 0,759.363 bushels last year. With prices 8 cents lower than last year, such a movement cannot be interpreted ns a sign of dctU eient yield. The Atlantic exports for the same weeks have been (flour included) 4,892,000 bushels, against 2,995,233 bushels last year, and while the increase U encouraging, it scarcely corresponds with j urrent accounts of deficient yield in some foreign countries. The movement of corn continued heavy, although the price is still so low <hat one wonders why the product is put intoconi instead of into hogs. The iron- and steel manufacture is tile "only continued depression to report, and Bessemer pig has sold at $10.40 at Pittsburg, whiles Southern (run is offered at prices equivalent to $lO at New Y,c)j4j.
