April Opens without Case of yellow
Fever In Havana

Fever In iInyann.
Havana, April 4.-For the first time
in the history Of Havana the month of
April begins without Il single case of
yellow fever in the city. Major w. C.
Gorgas, chief sanitary officer Is conf
dent that with the sanitary measures
now being enforced and the valuable
information gained during the recent
investiga tons of the yellow fever COM
mission there will he but few cases
during the coming season. The marine
hospital service is also taking precau-
tons against the bringing of infection
to Havana from Mexico on other ports.
DIR. Glennon. chief surgeon. has issued
orders for quarantine against these
ports beginning Apri Is.
1t is thought that many cases in Ha-
Nana last year We're brought from Vera
Cruz, which is only two days sail from
Havana. Passengers from Vera Cruz
will be obliged to remain in quarantine
three days. Comfortable quarters are
being fitted UP near the Immigrant sta
ton at Cabanpss. The immigrant sta
ton is used only as temporary quarters
for Immigrants who have no employ
ment on arriving here. Under the old
arrangement they We're retained in Ha-
vana, and, not being immune, they com
tracted yellow fever and frequently
spread 1t. Immigrants are kept isolated
until employment is secured for them
and they are shipped direct into the
country. The number of yellow fever
cases in Havana has decreased Won
derfully since these precautions We're
taken.
a regular quarantine station was
built by the spaniards at Mariel. 1t is
considered one Of the best in the ma
rine hospital service. and will be re-
tanned under the clause of the platf
