ON THE WRONG TRACK.
C,,d,s. Yellow Fever Theory Falls to
stand Tests.

Havana. Sept. 1.-Major Harvard,
chief surgeon, says that as the yellow
fever commission regards the expert
ments with the Caldas serum as dem
onstrations of it's usefulness, the COM
mission has definitely severed connec-
ton with the Brazilian expert and will
nor supervise any further experiments
conducted by him.
"Dr. Caldas has all along maintained
that he had found the yellow fever
germ in the intestine" remarked Major
Harvard, whereas, all the experiments
conducted here prove that the germ of
the disease is in the blood, people hav-
ing been directly inoculated by blood
infection from q person suffering with
yellow fever"
Major Gorgas, chief sanitary officer,
made the following statements:
Some confusion has arisen regarding
the precise position Of the sanitary de-
partment in regard 10 the yellow fever
expert. In March Of this year the sani-
tary department established an inocu-
laton station at Las Animas for the
purpose of inoculating non-immunes.
that is to say, giving them yellow fever
in order to make them immune. This
was not an experimental station and is
not such, the sole object being to eff
feet immuniZatiOn.
The sanitary department has moth
ing to do with the recent experiments
conducted by the yellow fever commits
sion or with those connected by the Of
ficials sent by the war department to
investigate the origin and propagation
of yellow fever, although it did supply
the Carroll commission with mos
quitoes.
THE sanitary department stands
ready to immuniZe any one who de-
sires to undergo the treatment after
the risk has been successfully ex-
planned. 1t accepts the work Of Sur
geon Major Reed and his colleagues of
the army commission as final, and does
not desire to make further experiments
in this direction. No amount Of evil
dence could make more positive the
conclusion that yellow fever can be
conveyed by the mosquito. The person
who submits to mosquito infection,
however, stands a better chance Of re-
covery than one who contracts the dis
ease accidentally, as the former has care
from the beginning"
