As to Yellow Fever.
Correspondence New York Evening Pc

Correspondence New York Evening Post.
Some fever must be expected around San
uago. am informed by those of long resi-
dence there that the place called Aguadores,
to which frequent reference has been made
In recent reports, is a hot-bed for yellow
fever germs. The same condition obtains
in number of spots in the vicinity of San
tioga. But there are also many sections
where there is little or no danger All these
differing local conditions will be learned by
the army now operating there, and due adj
vantage taken of those which are favorable.
while all possible effort will be made to
avoid those which are unfavorable. After
the immediate struggle is over. and the
question becomes more that of occupation
than of battle, this will be easily possible.
Consul Hyatt, whose residence at Santiago
covers some five years, informs me as a
practicing physician of many years expert
ence that, while there is naturally some
risk of fever there, Santiago is not spe-
cially hazardous spot, and that 1t is easily
possible to take precautions which will re-
duce the risk to minimum
1t is wholly useless to entertain any undue
anxiety about either Key West or Santiago,
but it is equally useless to be wholly blind
to the possibilities. 1t is quite certain that
the world has never yet seen a war in which
so vigilant a regard has been manifested
for the maintenance of health and the pres
ervation of life as that displayed in the
present conflict, and those who are engaged
in it will be as carefully guarded from fever
as they are from Spanish bullets.

THE LATE WAR WITH SPAIN"
The Purpose Mr.. walker Had In View
in Writing the Story.

An editorial in the Sunday issue Of the
Journal discussed briefly the wide diverg-
ence of the present war in actual progress
from the same war depicted in a serial that
appeared some months ago, when the gen.
eral public had no anticipation that war
would ensue. The editorial has brought
out the story Of the story-the purpose of
it's publication at that particular time. IL.
B. Jeffries, manager of the Indianapolis
branch of the Columbia Press Association,
who speaks as though he knows thoroughly
what he is talking about, discussed the edl-
torial and said to a reporter OF the journal:
"'Our Late War with Spain published
as a serial in the Cosmopolitan, was not
written as q prophecy of the present war,
but as prophetic of the future of war if the
humanity and craftsmanship of the civilized
nations do not unite to abolish war and adj
just international issues by some system of
arbitration. The inspiration of the story
vas a desire to impress the horrors and
means abate the warlike inclination to de-
stroy life that remained with man when he
emerged from savagery as 1t animated saw
age man when evolution transformed him
from the brute 1t is not man. the individ-
Ual, but man in the aggregate that Moves
war and has pleasure in carnage. The ag-
gregate rejoiceS and gloatS where the indt-
vidual regrets and grieves. and only by re-
forming the savage that remains in the in
dividual can the aggregate be restrained
from war.
1.-The story was written by John Brisbin
Walker, the owner and editor of the Cosmo-
politan. Mr.. Walker is a gentleman of deep
humanity, a scholar, keen and philosophic.
He is a graduate of West Point, and takes
a great and intelligent interest in military.
questions, having kept himself In touch
with the science Of war all his life. He pro-
duced the story, "Our Late War with
Spain," at the time he did because, as he
stated to a friend, there existed then a de-
termined purpose upon the part of a few to
precipitate a war with Spain at any hazard,
and at that time it was quite possible, by
cooperation to that end by both peoples. TO
avoid a war: and anything that would tend
to further humane aversion to war was,
therefore, timely. Mr.. Walker is ardently
patriotic; no man is more loyal to our Re
public than he, and his purpose was not TO
oppose the war that was to come but to
deprecate war and escape it If escape were
possible.
II entirely concur in the spirit Of the
Journals editorial on Humility in Tri-
umph.' War is a terrible wrong to human
ity, yet there is necessity for its enamel
patton from ignorance and opp ,ession, of
which Spain is an example that shames the
age. No doubt we are the chosen nstru-
ment OF Providence to carry liberty and
open broad avenues TO enlightenment to
Spain's oppressed and repressed colonies.
This war will be justified for US by its re-
suits, not by it's cause.

GA GREAT FLOW OF WATER.
Unusual Strike ON Mcfarland Farm,
Southwest of Town.

remarkable flow of water was struck
Friday afternoon on the Mcfarland farm,
six miles southwest of the city. A two
inch well was being driven, and when at
thirty-two feet the water burst forth in
great volume. overlooking the ground for
many feet around, necessitating the dig
ging of deep trench to convey the water
TO the creek some distance below. The first
impression was that this great supply of
water would exhaust the famous spring on
the place, which has been in constant use
since 1921, when Demas Mcfarland first
bought the land, but it showed only tenn
porary loss, recovering its usual flow in
short time.
The output of the well is S6,4OO gallons
every twenty-four hours. The spring which
has been used for so long is quite noted for
the excellence of the water, and Professor
Cox, when state geologist, commented upon
Its virtues in one of his annual reports. At
the present time the farm is occupied by
the Misses Duzan, granddaughter of De-
mas Mcfarland, one of the first settlers Of
