General Woods Sanitary Triumph

General Leonard Wood has added
another triumph to his already remark
able record by checking the yellow
fever epidemic at Santiago in an in
credibly short time, and at the same
time so reducing the mortality in San
tiago that it is now less than One-half
the monthly death rate during the
Spanish regime.
Yellow fever broke out in Santiago
on June 18th, but it was not until the
Goth that the cases were numerous
enough to excite alarm. At that time
General Wood was in this country. and
did not return to Cuaa until after the
fever had been epidemic for a fortnight
and more
What with the works of sanitation
already carried out by the United
States officials in the army and the Ma
rine Hospital Service, when General
Wood arrived things were ripe for his
decided measures, which have borne
such favorable results in very brief
time.
1t is by such successes as these thai
