 Quarantine

The United States was

 of the island was excellent. There were 

 no yellow fever cases anywhere last Oc- 

 tober, none in November, two in Decem- 

 ber and none in January or February.

"In view of the sanitary conditions 

 now obtaining in Cuba you are inforrned 

 that there will be no quarantine im- 

 posed against the ports of that island

 sels arriving from Cuban ports should, 

 however, be made."
