than the island of Cuba, and tbe f.- tuity of the Spaniards in placing e, many such soldiers in the infected
 military on the shore of the stagnant arm of the bay of Havana is a mel ancholy spectacle of incompetent ad- ministration. Even at Mariana. hut
 a few miles from Havana, 1t is well known that yellow fever in infreouent
 and it is vastly more healthy than the city. The mountain range of Cuba extends along the whole island commencing with the sharp peak Pico Turquino, S,240 feet high, and extend ing as a backbone along the island. The hills near Matanzas rise to an el- ovation of nearly 1900 to 1900 feet
 and there is no question that the in terior of the island of Cuba is as healthy as any country in the tropics
 If proper precautions be taken there is no question but immunity from vel low fever can be secured by the rigid observation of sanitary regulations and prompt isolation of any infected case among the troops that may arise through carelessness or faulty hygiene

READY FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
A Company, N. G. A.. to Be Mustered
 in Tonight.

Company A, national guard of Ari- zona, will be mustered into the ser vice of the territory this evening at 8 o'clock. The affair will take place at the city hall under the supervision of F. G. Russell. The list is about full, but owing to the absence of some of the men from the city the mastering officer may decide to replace them with new men. Those who wish to enlist should be on hand.
 Owing to the fact that the govern ment is considering the proposition of sending volunteer troops from the Pacific coast to the Philippine islands there have been numerous applica- tions for enlistment. After the muster the election of officers will probably take place. The only candidates SC far heard from are: For captain Sergeant Will Hill; first lieutenant Sergeant French, and for second lieu tenant, Corporal Dunn. all of whom ii is understood are well drilled and thoroughly competent to fill the placef to which they aspire.

MASSACHUSETTS AND ARIZONA
The First State and Territory to Re
 spond to the Call.

Washington, May 3.-According to advices received heretofore by Ad- jutan1- General Corbin, the mastering of soldiers of the volunteer army was begun in most of the states today. As sDon as this formality is accomp- 1ished they become regular United States troops available for any service which the president may call upon them to perform Up to the close Of office hours, however, reports on that subject had been received only from Massachusetts and Arizona
 With the limited force in charge Of this work at the various rendezvous ing points, the mastering in neces- sarily will take from two days to ten or more according to the size of the states' quota One regiment day fs considered very fair progress. Officials are now giving their atten- tion to the questions of mobilization, transportation and subsistence and by the time the soldiers are ready to move these questions will have been settled.

Some Timely Suggestions on the Sub.
 feet of Yellow Fever.

Washington, May 2-The all-ab- sorbing topic of the week among all classes of people is the question Of war Naturally the physicians are as much interested as any particular class, and much speculation is being indulged in, especially by medical of- ficers of the national guard, as to the climate of Cuba with reference to ser vice on that island.
 In regard to the danger from yellow fever, it is proper to say that the sur geon general of the army, Surgeon General Sternberg, is probably as fla miliar with the conditions as any one in the United States, and it is safe It is, however, not cut of place to state, that the island is mountain ous one, and if the troops are kept out of the cities as far as possible there will be but little danger of con- tracting yellow fever.
