The prevalence Of yellow fever at
Santiago among the brave troops is
causing great apprehension. The
number being taken with this disease
is increasing every day. and it will
not be long before the majority OF
the troops are down with it. 1t is
said that the cause of the mild attack
OF the fever is the cleanliness OF the
soldiers, and that with the skill OF
yellow fever physicians and nurses it
is to be hoped that the fatality will
not be so heavy as it would other
wise be.
