Washington, January l6-Surgeon
General Sternberg has Just returned to
Washington from visit of inspection OF
the United States military camps in
Cuba. His purpose was to see that every
arrangement is made for the protection Of
the health of our troops garrisoning the
island before the expiration of the present
dry season. He summed up the results of
his trip as follows:
II find the sanitary condition of the
troops now stationed in and near Havana,
Matanza zas and Pinar del Rio to be very
good at present. There Is very little
serious sickness, but medical officers gen.
orally apprehend that there will be a very
considerable increase In the amount Of
sickness as the unhealthy season ap.
proaches, and strenuous efforts are being
made to prepare for a long number of sick
In case the military situation make 1t
necessary to retain considerable body
OF troops in Cuba during the summer. At
Havana orders have been given for the
preparation of the Spanish military
hospital Alfonso Kill. which has a
capacity OF two thousand beds; also for
an officers hospital at the Vedsdo and
for another hospital for infectious
diseases, At Mabanzas the military
hospital and barracks arc being thorough

The troops near Mstanzas are encainped
on high ground overlooking the bay, In =
location which l consider quite favorable
from sanitary point OF view. The camps
at Maraianao are we'll located.
SIN Havana General Ludlow is exhibit
ing great energy in organizing the civil
government aud In preparing to carry
out necessary sanitary measures. The
sanitary regeneration of Havana Is. how
ever, difficult problem and one which
will require time, as well as money and
energy. consider 1t entirely impracti-
cable to place this city In such condition
that 1t will be safe for non-acclimated
persons to remain there during the com
ing summer without serious risk, especial
ly II they frequent the more unhealty
parts of the city. Occasional cases of yell
low fever occur in thir city throughout
the winter. but the epidemic prevalence
OF this disease does not usually commence
before May and the extent OF an epidemic
depends entirely upon the number of un.
acclimated strangers exposed In the in
footed localities during the unhealthy sea-
on. Yellow fever is epidemic at Havana,
Matanzas, Cardenas. Glen uegos, Trinidad
and various other seaports cities. 1t oo-
cssionally prevails at Puerto Principe,
HoIguin, Pinar del kio, Remedis and
several other interior towns"
