or IsIpoRTANcE TO THE SOUTH.

Those OF US who live in the gulf coast
country have an interest in seeing the
island OF Cuba pass out OF the hands Of,
Spain that no other section Of the coun-
try has. The complete success Of the
American campaign and the placing OF
Havana. uader American domination, will
mean moro TO the gulf coast OF the South
than many stop to estimate.
We all wildly remember the yellow fever
scares Of the past, and particularly OF
last summer. II this war should continue
for a year 1t would not cause the business
stagnatlon and losses that were suffered
within period Of ninety days last year In
this section! But for nearly century
our gulf coasts have been menaced In this
way by the yellow fever, whose habitat
was Havana. The continuance OF Spanish
government In the island would mean the
continuance of this danger to us.
An Alabama paper very properly remarks
that as soon as the Spanlard Is disposed OF
1t VIII be necessary to begin at once the
scientific sanitation campaign both in the
city OF Havana and In It's very foul and
bnut-lH naTD0r.
1t Is almost impossible to estimate the
value to the South OF the final disappear
ance of yellow fever In Cuba and Porto
Rico. Thousands of lives have been lost by |
us In the past, millions OF money have |
been expended and immigration and bust
ness expansion checked because OF the |
filthy and lndolent Spanlard's rule ia the |
West Indies. For the world to feel that the |
danger from yellow fever had been prac-
tically removed from the gulf States would |
be Of incalcuable advantage to us--worth |
In the next ten years the money cost of
this war!
That this dread foe can be stamped out
undor good sanitation and by energetic |
measures, even In such place as Havana. |
has bsen demonstrated In the history of
Vera Cruz. Mexico. That city was once
the con@ant abiding place of the fever. |
The locality reeked with filth and the |
fever germs were never killed during Ahe |
year Tho epidemic, as In Havana, broke |
CUT atreSh each summer, without any i'm
portaton Of cases Now Vera Cruz is ms |
tree from the fever as Nav Orleans and
Havana can soon be made equally safe.
To the Southern States, therefor, there
VIII be double satisfaction and a speci1l
