HAVANA's SANITATION.
Would 1t De Possible to Stamp Out
the yellow Feyers

Surgeon General George NJ. Sternberg, Of
the United States army, has an article in
the August Century on 1.-THE Sanitary Re.
generation Of Havana" DR.. Sternberg
says:
Probably the only reason why yellow fe-
yer has not established itself permanently
at any one of our Southern seaport cities Is
because the winter temperature Is too low
to preserve the vitality and favor the null
tiplicaton of the germ. 1t therefore dies
out during the winter, or, according to the
popular idea. is killed by the first frost,
Ihis being the case, we must not be too
ready to assume that If we had possession
Of Havana this pestilental malady would
DO promptly stamped out by the sanitary
improvements which we would make. For.
as matter Of fact, we have not accom-
plshed this in our own cities on the Gulf
coast. When yellow fever is introduced
into one of these cities during the season
favorable for it's prevalence, history shows
that 1t extends, with more or less rapidity.
until the epidemic is terminated by the
COOL weather OF autumn; and all efforts to
arrest Its progress by sanitation have here
tofore been attended with very unsatis-
Factory degree of success. Why, then, should
we expect to be more successful in Havana
II the task were thrown upon us Of effectlng
the sanitary regeneration of that CITY to
such an extent as to make it immune from
the disease under consideration? Two
questions present themselves: 1. Could the
government Of the United States effect the
sanitary regeneration Of Havana if we had
possession of that city? 2. Would the con-
gress Of the United States appropriate the
money necessary to accomplish this result?
Without attempting to answer the second
question, l may remark that congress has
not heretofore appropriated money for the
sanitary improvement of cities within tho
limits of the United States, and each munl-
cipality has had unlimited authority to be
as dirty as 1t pleased. Questions relating
to water supply, disposal Of sewage, paving
of streets, etc. are disposed Of by each clty
according to Its own good pleasure, and it
would be new departure for the genera!
government to appropriate large sums Of
money for these purposes.
Ihat 1t Is practicable to put the city Of
Havana in such sanitary condition tina.
1t would be exempt from yellow fever I
iully believe. But that this Is an undertake
ing of considerable magnitude involving the
expenditure of large sums of money. and
requiring much time. will be apparent when
we have taken account of the nature Of the
sanitary improvements necessary for the &C.
compl'shment of the desired result
