YELLOW FEVER.
rne Glorious Opportunity to DsscsI
1t Now being Opened 70
Americana.

The expected has happened, and yell
low fever has attacked our troops at
Santiago. The first reports that were
permitted to reach the public were
dated July IL, on which day there were
IA new cases. Within three or four
DAYS after that the total number OF
cases to date was admitted to have
been upward Of 400, SO thatit IS certain
that the disease has been among tho
troops for some time, probably having
attacked them almost Immediately.
after the landing vas made.
The policy of concealment was
wholly justitiable at that time, for
confession of the truth would have
served no purpose in protecting the
home ports, and would simply have en-
conraged the Spaniards to delay sur
render, and would have caused unavail-
ing anxiety and encouragement at
home.
All the accounts OF the epidemic
agree that the disease is in an unusual
ly mild form, by far the greater num-
Der of those attacked recovering after
the normal period of not very great
suffering. Among the sufferers were
very many of the Red Cross surgeons
and nurses, all of whom, so far as is
known, have entirely recovered or are
convalesccnt. Many immune surgeons
and nurses are on the way now to San
tiago, and will be assigned to the fever
hospitals Immediately upon their ar
rival.
Now that there is no human enemy
in our way, our sanitary officers in the
conquered province have an excellent
opportunity to give to the world an
object lesson in cleanliness. And we
are perfectly confident that, with the
filth of Santiago destroyed the houses
cleaned and .dixinfected, the infectad
huts burned, and our camps removed
to the hills as far as that may be pos
sible. Gen. Vomito Negro will follow
| the lend of Gen. TOral and WELD to the
inevitable.
We have always believed that the
chief reward to our country for un-
| dertaking this modern crusade against
| the Saraoen, and one that will fully
| compensate us for expenditure OF
blood and money, will be the liberia
ton of our southern states from the
constant menace Of yellow fever. We
are fighting not only for the freedom
OF Cuba from Spanish tyranny. but Tor
the freedom sof America from Spanish
disease. The accomplishment OF the
first object is almost realized, and tfhat
of the second is plainly in sight.
1t is not expected, however, that this
glorious victory can be won without
a struggle, and we therefore welcome
the battle which is now on, fearful in
deed that the loss may be heavy, yet
with no misgiving as to the outcome OF
the contest.-Medical Record.
