The fever situation at Santiago is such
as to cause uneasiness. our dispatches
yesterday stated there were 1924 cases of
fever among the troops there. OF this
number 639 were new cases. IT was not
stated how many of the cases were yell
low fever The presumption is that a large
percentage Of them is Of that kind. In
the death list given yesterday. several of
the deaths We're credited TO that fever.
The fever only lately made its appear
ance among the troops at Santiago. I'm
less it is checked promptly the probabilities
are that there will be a serious epidemic.
The month Of August IS the one in which
the fever may be expected 10 become viru-
lent. Thus far the fever has appeared in
only a mild form, but there is nothing TO
justify the hope that it viii continue mild.
As a rule, the fever first appears in
mild form. sometimes remaining undetect-
ed for several weeks.
We do not know what steps the authori-
ties at Washington have taken to fight
the fever. but there are reports that prac-
tically nothing has been done. DR.. Dab
ney d well known yellow fever expert OF
W
ment a day or two ago, expresses the opjn-
ion that the surgeon general of the army
has as yet done practically nothing to-
ward preparing for an epidemic of yellow
fever
There are very few yellow fever experts
at Santiago and scarcely any of the ar
ucles necessary for the proper treatment
of that disease. Among these necessary
articles are yichy and champagne, in pint
hotties. DR.. Dabney says that at is about
impossible to treat yellow fever success
fully without them.
There ought to be no delay in preparing
for the disease in its worst form. There
may be no epidemic of a serious charac-
ter. il is to be hoped there viii not be-
but there should be the same preparations
as if one were expected.

Reconstruction in Cuba.
From the Baltimore sun (Dem.).

1t follows that CUBA viii be for time
occupied by United states troops, and con-
trolod in every district for time after
the war much after the manner in which
the South was occupied after the civil
war, during the period OF so-calied recon
strucuon." Cuba will be given self-gov-
eminent, no doubt, but the loyal and rebel
clements viii need to be KEEP from each
others throats while orderly representa-
tive government IS being established This
need not involve a repetition Of the tyran-
MES of federal officials in the South after
the civil war, nor the saturnalia of cor
rupuon that prevailed there during the
carpet-bag regime. The animosities of the
reconstruction era do not exist as between
Americans and Spanish i'm Cuba, so that
Our government IS IN position TO hold
the balance even between the Spanish on
the one hand and the 1hbusters and nc.
groes on the other.

Credit of Southern States.
From the Houston Post (Dem).

one of the most encouraging and sig
niheant facts OF recent occurrence to the
South is the growing evidence of improv-
ed Southern public credit. Not only are
state bonds of most Southern states now
readily taken bearing a low rae of inter
est but they command a dattering pre-
MUM in many instances.
This was strikngly demonstrated only
the other day when a big batch of new
Louisiana As was disposed of al good fig
IRE above par. County bonds in Texas
bearing per cent. and even per cent
interest are now sold easily.
This fact indicates that the South and
Southern conditions are becoming better
known than formerly in outside moneyed
circles

learn that they had gone until a portion
of their army made an assault upon the

disgust, captured only the Quaker cannon

The sickness n Cuba is proving far
more dangerous to Skaters soldiers than
Spanish builets We're. When troops sus-
tain losses Of ~ per cent in killed and
wounded under fire they are said to be
decimated and in Europe it is the ordiua-
ry thing for troops TO retreat under a dec
imanng fire. The number of Skaters
sick is now in the neighborhood Of 1900
considerable more than 10 per cent. of his
force. The sooner the army can be or
dered to retreat from the enemy disease.
when it cannot meet on even terms, the
better it will be.

New England firm a few days ago
made application to the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum for such information as it
might have relative TO Porto Rico as
country adapted 20 tie growing and man
ufacturing Of cotton. In the reply which
the museum Forwarded It was stated that
Porto Rico in both soil and climate is web
adapted to cotton growing, while tempera-
ture and humidity are suited to the manu-
facture Of cotton fabrics. The cotton IN
dustry, however. has never been tried in
the island. If the New England firm in
question contemp,ates moving its mills to
a more favorable section, why does it not
at once come South, where the problems
OF cotton growing and manufacturing have
already been worked out and where profits
are certain? Only an actual test would
demonstrate what could be done in Porto
Rico. and while the experiment was being
made there, the investment if placed here
would be earning returns.

Dawey's Remarks.

From the letter of Manila cor
respondent we extract the follow
ing quotation from an utterapce by
Admiral Dewey, the hero who has
accomplished so much and said SC
little:
Standing on the quarterback o.
the Baltimore, yesterday, and gaz
ing at the American flag over Fort
Santiago within the walled city,
Admiral Dewey said:
II hope 1t floats there forever, for
ever. 1t is strange that we have
wrested an empire from those peo-
pie and that with the loss OF only
few men. Our navy did most re-
markable work. If I were a relig
ious man and I hope am, I should
say that it was the hand of God. /
remember, when we engaged the
fleet, seeing shells fred directly at
US, and do not understand under
heaven why we escaped.
"Then we came up here in the
Olympia and sent them an ultima
tum. In three letters that were
written by Consul Williams I told
them if they fired another shot I
would destroy their city. de-
handed the surrender of some
small vessels that scurried into
Pasig, and which, I believe, were
torpedo boats and I asked the joint
use of the cable. We were close
in and alone, but they did not fire,
and we never did.
81 am proud of these men under
me and proud to be their leader.
They are all efficient. l gave up
the Olympia and sent her to Hong
Kong and came on the Baltimore.
Here find everything as efficient
as on the Olympia. L am sending
all of the squadron up to be cleaned
and have asked for a battleship and
armored cruiser. 1 do not intend
to go home unless it is absolutely
necessary, for there is much work
still to be- done here. l do not want
to 60 until it is all over"

succumbed to neglect, due to the
shameful Encouragement OF Ger
tain branches of the department
over which Secretary Alger pre-
sides.
And the pity of it all is that the
people of the United States, who
are only too eager to assist the re-
turning troops, are helpless in the
matter. Where anxious relatives
and friends are only able to find
the particular subjects of their
search after disease or neglect has
done its fatal work, the public
stands in helpless indignation, and
asks itself how much longer such
CHASTITY comedies as that which re-
Gently prevailed at Montauk Point
are going to last.
Ore thing is certain-there is a
growing feeling Throughout the
country that the time is ripe for an
official investigation. A great
wrong has been done, the response,
bility for which rests directly upon
the shoulders of Secretary Alger, OF
upon one or more of the heads OF
departments, that serve under him.
If at the first, instead of showing
such feverish haste to WhltewaSh
his department, the secretary had
issued bona fde investigation, he
would have perhaps escaped the
public resentment which is now un-
mistakably aroused.
The time is certainly ripe for Our
President to order an investigation
of the whole conduct of the war as
tar as it came under Mr.. Ayers
Administration. Nothing short OF
this will satisfy the country or
serve to vindicate those officials in
the war department who have per
formed their duties with zeal and
efficiency. The scandal has now
grown too big to be overlooked,
and the country is naturally await
ing some action on the part of the
President; looking to a searching
and exhaustive inquiry.-Scientifc
