possible to protect from Ii bodies of men

latter part Is important because in the
district most likely to be attacked by
the fever the government has been as
sembling large bodies of troops. During
the civil war there was an outbreak of
yellow fever on board the United States
steamer Relief at the navy yard, Pensa-
Ship island for more than a year and
she was not even subjected to quarantine
regulations on her arrival at Pensacola.
The disease spread to the navy yard and
thence to the bomb fleet which had Just
come from the Mississippi river. A large
body of troops was encamped at Barran-
cas-. To protect these troops a gordon
sanitare was established between the
camp and the navy yard and the camp
was 'policed" or cleaned daily i'm the
most thorough manner As a result Of
these precautions not one of the sold ers
caught the fever.
AT this time. and i'm fact through all the
civil war. there was a rigid military quar-
antine. The military authorities also
adopted rigid sanitary regulations, and

ALMOST AS DEADLY AS SPANISH BULLETS
Careful Arrangements Made to Fight yellow Fever and Prevent 1t From Obtaining a
Fodhod OF the Warshbs ind in the Camps

A greater enemy than Spain threatens
the United States in a war which would
mean the invasion of Cuba. Yellow fever
may not have killed more people han the
Spaniards have in all their wars. but IL IT
gains a foothold on the southern coast
of the United States during the trouble
over Cuba, II will kill more good Ameri-
cans than will dies from Spanish shells or
bullets. The marine hospital. through its
surgeon general. DIR. Walter Wyman, is
already making plans to keep yellow
binary conditions which may threaten
thisc country.
Modern quarantine Methods have con-
fined the disease almost wholly 70 the
Southern states but upon the relaxation
of the rigid quarantine regulations which
are expected II would threaten Northern
eaports.
The first step toward relaxing the vigil
lance of the quarantine system was taken
when President Mckinley ordered the
regulations suspended for the first refu-
gees from Cuba. These were not required
to obtain certificates of health i'm Havana.
but were hurried away from that city and
afterward were inspected and held in
quarantine for five days on our coast.
In case of open intercourse between
Cuba and the United States the shipment
of troops to Cuba and the possible land
ing of Spanish troops from Cuba on our
coast, this quarantine would not be prac-
ticable. A ship of war whose marines
have been ashore five days in Cuba can
not wait five days in quarantine when
