Yellow Jack is plainly not the terror
it used to be, as is shown by the re-
markedly small death rate in the hos
pitfalls near Santiago. Many hundreds
of our soldiers have fallen sick, but
very few have died or are likely to.
1t shows that what was the greatest
danger to our troops. even before
Santiago surrendered, has been largely
removed, and that the dread disease, if
not absolutely conquered. has no far
yielded to sanitary measures and medi-
cal skill that its further spread into
epidemic form may be set down as
highly improbable. The surgical staff
at Santiago is to be credited with
prompt and effective work in checking
so promptly the disease.

The Increase in Savings.

country. There we find the evidence of

one person in about every 10 has money
deposited at interest, truly remark

use Of "larboard" was discontinued and

\ correspondent of this journal has
made the point that the former term has
been in use in the English language from
a remote period. occurring in Anglo-SaX-
on as "stcarboard." and in middle Eng
lish as ".sterehoard." while In later times
it was written "sterboard.' from which

Pig iron production for the first half

passed all previous records. reaching
the grand total of 500, 103 gross tons.
The fact that this output has barely
met the demand, in the face of a state
of war, will not prove encouraging to
those Europeans who have been hoping
for the time when our cost of produc-
ton would again prohibit US exporting
iron and steel to their domains. AL
ready Germany has been driven to the
strictest economy by the use of by
product coke ovens and Great Britain
is endeavoring to find ways and means
for utilizing the gases from its blast
furnaces, while the United States ex-
travaSantly permits gas ammonia and
tar to waste. These are reserves for the
American manufacturer to fall back
upon. When Europe has advanced its
methods of economy SO it may meet
the daring, high-pressure practice Of
this country. then the American fur
naces will begin TO avail themselves If

themselves for that destiny. But the
Americans do not want destiny Of

United States are fated to have on the
destiny of the world will be in the
direction of building up and civliZng.
The conquests thrust on us in the

American ambition aims to crush are
not peoples, but false and tyrannicaI

The Porto Rico Campaign.

The public isn't getting great
the Porto Rico campaign. The cor
respondents are doing the best they
can with what they know of the situa-
ton and plans, but it is evident that in
this campaign we shall get the news
after the events happen and not in adj
vance. Last week General Miles and
the advance guard of the invading
army sailed from Cuba, and transports
loaded with over 10000 fresh and en-
thusiastic reinforcements have fol-
lowed him from our shores. The point
of landing is unknown, but it is likely
that debarkation has been made be-
fore this time and that the American
flag is waving over Porto Rico soil
There are those who believe it will
never be hauled down. and certainly
there are many things to justify this
belief and hope. Porto Rico is likely
to be a part of the American Union.
General Miles will take plenty Of time
in Porto Rico, and will have not only
plenty of infantry but also an ample
artillery force at his command. He
has carried his point in this, as he has
regarding the naval convoy for the
troopships. He will also establish a
good base of supplies, and have fire.
