Terry, M. D., surgeon general of the
state of New York:
My Dear Doctor-Your letter of April
27 just received. I shall send you an
interview published some time ago and
add few minor facts not touched
upon in that article.
Up to five years ago I spent nv sum-
mers. from May to September, on OUT
plantation in the province of Matanzas,
and 1 can positively state this, that the
country districts in the provinces of
Matanzas- and Havana are as a rule
healthy, even in the summer But the
climate is exceedingly damp and the
rainfall in these months is enormous,
although the sun shines the greater
part of the time through an atmosphere
surcharged with moisture, and the
thermometer in the shade registers be-
tween 80 and 95 degrees-but never
higher. The nights are cool, due to
the trade winds which blow continu-
ously across the island, but the tenn
perature never gets below 70 degrees
or thereabouts. I should say, in a few
words, that sultry, warm weather daily
thunder showers and passable nights
is the prevailing state of the weather

sert that the country in the western
part of the island is not more unhealthy
than Delaware or Chester counties in
Pennsylvania.
But not so In the cities, or through
out the extreme southern apart Of the
lS!and, which is SWampy and low. In
the former we have (and certainly in

low fever and typhoid as endemic dis
eases. Another fact which is not gen
orally commented upon is that tubercu
losis is very prevalent in the cities of
Cuba, and 1 have been informed that
many of the Spanish soldiers die from
this disease, and not as much from yell
low fever and dysentery as has been
reported.
If Americans but know what bad
treatment the Spanish soldiers (raw
recruits) receive from their government
and how dirty and filthy these people
are in their habits, they would agree
with some of us who know the facts
and have lived on the island that Cuba,
far from being an unhealthy place, is
quite the contrary. That they can live
as they do and not all die has been the
wonder to me.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-What will
the coming sea fight show to be TIE
most formidable style of warship Of
all the armed vessels upon which tie
nation pins it's faith? This is the gu S :
ton to which the whole world awaits a
practical answer. To obtain the answ r
1t will be necessary to spill much blood
and send millions cf dollars worth OF
property to the bottom of the sea, but
no practical lesson in warfare was ever
letaned without an expenditure Of tn S
kind, and, anyhow, as the blood-shed-
ding is inevitable, the most might as
we'll be gotten out of it.
The designers of fighting ships have
theorized beautifully. They have had
so many years of peace in which to
plan and scheme that it is nat
ural that they should believe that
the art of designing and building
floating fighting machines has been
brought to perfection. They have graded
the strength of the naval craft from tn :
big hattleship to the saucy little tor
pedo boat according to all the best
teachings OF the art of war, which in
clude such apparently unwarlike max
inns as that there are times when the
right thing to do is to run away and
keep running until you are out Of the
enemy's reach.
Those who fight and run away will
v2ive to fight another day." is an adage
that has been improved upon by our
naval designers. Their revised version
of the proverb, the revision of which
dates from the birth of the ironclad
fighting craft, Is chose who run away
without fighting will live to make some
other craft fight or run away"
1t would be folly for a cruiser to at
tack battleship. for the reason that
the battleship is supposed to be in
vulnerable to the attack of the guns
that cruiser usually carries. On the
other hand 1t would be absurd for a
battleship to chase cruiser that was
beyond gunshot distance, for the cruiser
would walk away from the battleshin
in trial of speed. This is the nrin-
ciple upon which modern vessels of war
are built. When armor is lacking. sneed
