YELLOW FEVER.
The Glorious Opportunity TO Destroy
1t Now Being Opened to Us.
From the Medical Record

The expected has happened, and yellow
fever has attacked our troops at Santiago
The first reports that were permitted 20
reach the public We're dated July Y, on
which day there were fourteen new cases
Within three or four days after that the
total number of cases to date was adj
nitted to have been upward of three hun
dTed, so that 1t is certain that the disease
has been among the troops for some time,
probably having attacked them almost I'M
mediately after the landing was made.
The policy of conceaiment was wholly
justihaLle at the time. for a confession Of
the truth would have served no purpose
in protecting the home ports, and would
simply have encouraged the Spaniards to
delay surrender ana would have caused
unavailing anxiety and discouragement at
home.
All the accounts of the epidemic agree
that the disease is IN an unusually mild
form, by far the greater number of those
attacked recovering after the normal pc
Rod of not very great suffering. Among
The sufferers were many of the Red Cross
surgeons and nurses, ell of whom. 50 far
as is known, have entirely recovered or
are conValescent Many immune surgeons
and nurses are on the way now to SantI-
ago, and VIII be assigned TO the fever hos
pitfalls Immediately on their arrival
Now that there is no human enemy IN
our way, our sanitary officers in the con
quered province have an excellent opp0r-
tunty to give to the world an object les
son in cleanliness. And we are perfectly
confident that with the filth Of Santiago
destroyed, the houses cleaned and d!siu-
fected, the infected huts burned, and our
camps removed 10 the hills as far as they
may be possible Gen. Vomito Negro will
follow the lead of Gen. Toral and yield to
the Inevitable.
We have always believed that the chief
reward to our country for undertaking. this
modern crusade against the Saracen, and
one that will fully compensate las for eN-
penditure of blood and money, VIII be the
liberation Of our Southern states from the
constant menace Of yellow fever. We are
lighting not only for the freedom of cuba.
from Spanish tyranny, but for the freedom
of American from Spanish disease. The
accomplishment OF The first object is all
most realized aud that of the second is
plainly in sight.
il 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 indeed that
the loss may be heavy, yet with no misgN-
ing as to the outcome of the contest.

GETTING THE WAR NEWS.
1t Entails AN Enormous OutIay-Ad-
VertiSers Miss an Opportunity.
From the ICour+h Estate


From the Fourth Estate.
The cost of the war with Spain fell al
most as heavily on the newspapers as it
did on the government. The return has,
of course, been small. Increased circula-
ton has not meant more advertising, but,
on the contrary less.
This was largely due of course to the
fear that the business world would be de-
moralZed by war, and then, too, the adj
vertisers alleged that they were being
forced 10 pay more than their share. There
are some things the advertiser should re-
member, and 1t may be Of value TO call his
attention TO them. If he needs newspaper
publicity. as he certainly does, then he
should realize that the cost Of getting out
the PAYERS has been and continues TO be
enormous.
1t is interesting 90 note the cost of ca
bic dispatches From st. Thomas, via
Hayti, the rate is 81 46 a word from Kings
ton. via Hayti- Martinique 81 -; from Bar
BADGES, s2.04; from Santiago de Cuba, %
cents; from Havana 50 cents; from Cape
Hayden, 81 AS; from Porto Rico, So cents,
and from Mole st. Nicholas, 52iz cents
This is the amount simply for cables, and
II should be remembered that there are
the dispa tch-boats, with their crews and
high-prlcod reporters. Then there are all
sorts Of additional expenses until the cost
Of the war services has amounted 10 amaz-
ing figures.
The public, however. had TO have the
news II was the business Of the press to
furnish stories Of the struggle, and II has
done SO without regard to expense. Some
thinking advertisers have seen their chance
in the increased Calculations. Many have
been unfortunate in not realizing the SIT
