THE HEALTH OF CUBA
Bad Climate Almost a Thing of
 .,.. the Past. ..
Sanitary observanees Have wrouxAt
 . Wonderful Change in 2
 che Islana Army @. Ese, AothOds. ..... -.

People who knew Cuba in the days before the Spanish war, when there was yellow fever on the island at all times of the year, and when there were few places there where people from the north could live comfortably in the summer months, were pleasant ly surprised to see the members of fhe Eighth looking hale and robust, much as they would have looked after & camp tour at Peekskill, and showing none of the signs of the deadliness of the Cuban climate. Inquiry among the officers and men demonstrated that the bad climate of Cuba is, to a great extent, matter of the past. It is just ss warm there as it ever was, but many of the causes of disease have been removed or lessened to such an extent that they have been rendered practically harmless, says the New York Tribune. ~., ..e a..
 Dr. W. P. Lawrence, assistant sur geon, who returned with the troops, said: The improvements in the sani- tary conditions have produced the great change for the better Drain
 age systems and cleanliness have changed the places in Cuba to an ex- tent that is remarkable. In the town of Sancti Spiritus, which has popu- lation of about 12,So0, the death rate was 450 6 month last year, and now it is about 30. The troops enjoyed good health in the place. and we rarely had more than one per. cent, On che, sick roll There are occasional yellow fever cases, but they are sporadic, and not epidemic, and the dread 'of,the dis. ease has passed away" .
 Dr. L. s. Hughes, who was stationed 1t Caibarien, and Dr. Shelly whose work was at Matanzas, made similar reports, but all agreed that the facts that the troops from Cuba looked we'll and that the rate of mortality isl low do not indicate that Cuba is desir- able place as 2 permanent residence for people from the north With proper care and attention to the rules of diet and mode of life laid down. by the army surgeons, they say, men may thrive in Cuba for year or two, but after that time they will&hecome thin blooded and malarlal and ii will be- come more difficult for them ro throw of the native levers. For that reason nearly all physicians advocate thessys. tenn by which troops may be returned to the north after being on the island l3 or 1s months, having their places taken by men fresh from more tenn perats climate. fa't'
 In proof of the assertion that army methods do much to avert disease at the Cuban military stations, surgeons point to the fact that at ali the posts the rate of mortality among the ns- lives is much in excess of that among the soldiers, and wherever apost has been eetablishd the general health be comes improved.
