The yellow fever which has broken

patriotic fever" said Mr.. Baehr last
night
The reason for this is that it never

the Americans and Spaniards. There has
been very little OF it in Cuba since the
American occupation. and the cases now
extant constitute the greatest number

AT that time, Cienfuegos was in ex-

II has, however, become a pretty filthy

not die of the fever, the Cubans do not
take much interest in keeping things
clean.
