Merrimac's History Recalled.
A suit now before Judge Truax is des-
tined to perpetuate the name of the Merri-
mac now resting on the bottom of San
tiago harbor, In court records Charles 1.
Russell, a ship broker, has sued l. Hogan
& Sons Of No. Broadway for $4,000 for
breach of contract. This amount, he says,
is due him for securing an American regis
try for the Merrimac. When, as the Nor
wegian tramp steamship, she was reclaim
ed from the waters of Newport News har-
Dor and named the Merrimac, the board of
assessors valued her at only SAC, 000 which
is 81, 600 below the minimum value at which
she could have obtained American registry.
Russell says that Mr.. Hogan came to him
and that he, by reason of certain influence
which he possessed at Washington, had a
second board appointed and the value
raised $4,000. The vessel was sold to the
government for 1000. Mr. Russell then
asked a fee of $4,000. The defendants
lawyers say in their answer that the infiu-
ence exerted by the plaintiff was of such
a nature that it's exercise will be contrary
to good morals, and that the contract be-
tween plaintiff and defendant, if any, was
for the exercise of an improper influence,
and therefore void.

GEN STERNBERG'S VIEWS
Condition of Troops in the Cuban Camps
Good.
Considerable Increase in Illness
Looked for When the Unhealthy
Season Comes.

Surgeon Gen. Sternberg of the army has
just returned 10 this city from a visit of
inspection TO the principal camps of Cuba.
In conversation with a Star reporter he
summarized the results of his observations
as follows:
Il find the sanitary condition of troops
now stationed in and near Havana, Matan-
zas and PInar del Rio to be very good at
present.
There is very little serious sickness, but
medical officers generally apprehend that
there will be very considerable increase
in the amount of sickness as the unhealthy
season approaches, and strenuous efforts
are being made to prepare for a large num-
Der of sick in case the military situation
makes it necessary to retain considerable
body of troops in Cuba during the summer
months
AT Havana orders have been given for
the preparation of the Spanish military
hospital Alfonso XIII. which has capacity
of 1000 beds; also for an officers hospital
at the Nedado. and for another hospital for
infections diseases
AT Matanzas the military hospital and
barracks, which are substantial stone
buildings well adapted to the climate, are
being thoroughly diSinfected and prepared
for the use of the troops. In the mean
time a suburban villa admirably adapted
to the purpose is being prepared for
a hospital The troops in the vicinity of
MatanZas are encamped on high ground
overlooking the bay. in a location which
l consider quite favorable from a sanitary
point of view. The camps a Marinao are
well located and every effort is being made
to preserve the health of the troops.
I'm Havana Gen. Ludlow is exhibiting
great energy in organizing the civil gov
eminent and in preparing to carry out
necessary sanitary measures. The sani-
tary regeneration of Havana is. however
difficult problem. and one which will re-
quire time as well as money and energy.
I consider it entirely impracticable to place
this city in such condition that it will
be safe for non acclImated persons to re-
main there during the coming summer
without serious risk. especially if they fire.
quont the more unhealthy parts of the
city.
Occasional cases of yellow fever occur N
this city throughout the winter months, but
the epidemic prevalence of this disease does
not usually commence before the month of
May. and the extent of an epidemic de-
ponds entirely upon the number of unac-
ciimated strangers exposed in the infected
localities during the unhealthy season.
Yellow fever Is epidemic at Havana. Ma
taHzas, card mas. Cienfuesos, Trinidad and
various other seaport cities. 1t OCCASION
ally prevails at Puerto Principe. Holguin,
Pinar del Rio. Remedies and several other
interior towns
