month elapses without several eases coming from Inc
warm countries. Tie epidemic now raging In Havana Is
pusuaIly vi nlep which is due, without doubt to the
condition OF the weather in CnbL The absence OF
nortbers and frOss during the past WINTER ana the
prevailing moist and condition OF tie atmosphere

yellow fever and while the percentage OF death
in previous seasons has been about 80 or CO. this year IL
has been between 80 90 Up to the present ume'
however there have been only four fatal cases at this
port
Dr. yanderpoel said that there was no danger OF the
disease spreading here for several reasons; tho dry
weather that had prevailed this country would tend 10
prevent the spread of the disease, and there was very
little probability Of its reaching he city, and even should
IL do so il would be contiacd 70 the water 'front.'.
There are now four patients lying in the lower hospital
who however, are in a conyaIescent condition. Ne"
cases arrive frequently from sailing vessels tAan
