GLoomY BRITISH TRooPs.
They are Dying on Fast at suakin-Bit,
tor CompInint Of a Sergeant.

ter Complaint Of a Sergeant
LONDON, July 1G.-Very gloomy let
ters are received from the British troops
quartered at suakin. The soldiers express
the belief that this remnant or Gen. Gra-
ham's forces has been forgotten by the
War Office now that the Guards and
Australians have been withdrawn, or
else that they have been purposely left to
die OF disease. They say they are serving
no military purpose whatever, their sole
efforts being concentrated In trying to
escape death, not at the hands OF
the enemy, but from the effects
Of the climate. The hot desert wind is 7
now blowing continuously. 1t is simply
impossible for Europeans 10 live away
from shelter during the middle of the
day. Their uniforms are wholly insult
able for the conditions under which they
are trying 10 exist, and officers and men
20 about naked. The heat averages no
deg. in the shade. Water is abundant,
but fresh food 10 scarce, and the diet OF
canned meats and vegetables, together
with the intense heat, makes ent0ric dis
eases very prevalent. There are no proper
accommodations for the sick In the field.
The gunDOats in the harbOr are simply
floating hospitals, and are already SO
crowded with patients that there is no
chance for others % obtain admission.
The percentage OF mortality among the
sIck in the inland field hospitals is fright
ful. The Sergeant bitterly says:
eve are dying of like the sheep with
the murrain. II they want Osman
whipped In the fall we won't be alive TO
do it. Better send the pets back TO get the
glory again, We are good enough 20 rob

Two Sulklng Senators.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The situation
in the house does not promise to be as SEN
satiOnal as in the senate, where the Re-
publican senators are preparing for parti-
san warfare upon every case where single
point can be made. 1t is unreasonable to
suppose thai the Republican senators have
hearts which are fountains of human kind
ness. They are simply politicians, and
when they talk of standing by the president
it is, of course, with the one idea of divid-
ing as much as possible the Democratic
party. Malone is the most bitter of Re-
publican senators. He is one of the few
senators who is in favor of fight
ing all appointments. His past dis
appointments in Virginia are at the bottom
of his ugly fighting mood. He has given
up all talk of moving out Of Virginia, how
ever. He is very moody and nervous of
late. He rarely sits at his desk in the SEN
ate and rarely concentrates himself long
enough to read anything. He is great
friend of Don Cameron, although the latter
is no talker. Malone and Cameron will
sit close by each other, hardly exchanging
word for an hour at time, in the senate
chamber. Cameron will gaze off moodily
and steadily in one direction, while Malone
will glare in another direction, twisting his
long gray beard into vicious point. They
are the two most sulking senators in the SEN
ate, and naturally have close affinity for
each other

A MURDERER BURNED.
A Georgia Mob Cremates the Negro
Who Killed Miss Boyer.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 29.-Details of the
burning of the negro murderer Reed by a
mob near Gainestown yesterday show it to
have been most horrible affair. Reed was
arrested and placed in jail Saturday, charged
with the murder of Miss Boyer, whose
body was found, horribly mutilated, lying
on the road Friday. Sunday he confessed
the crime, saying he did not intend to kill
her, but that his gun went off accidentally
and wounded her. and he then, fearing that
she would inform on him before dying, beat
out her brains with the stock of his gun.
Yesterday afternoon crowd of 500 per-
sons, white and black, took the prisoner out
on the road near the spot where the murder
had been committed and chained him to
tree. Blacks and whites piled light wood
pile was breast high one among them ap-
piled the torch. As the flames shot upward
the negro gave shrek of agony. The
crowd, seeing the smoke and flames envel
oping him, did not wish him to die so easily.
They scattered the brands and the man was
seen writhing' in agony. Once more pile
of light wood was constructed and the
flames sprang up briskly, scorching the ne
gro terribly. Before they became fatal,
however, they were again subdued, and
again the doomed and wretched man was
seen convulsed with terror and pain. The
third time the pile was lighted it was al
lowed to do its work, and the body of Reed
was completely reduced to ashes. The
crowd then dispersed to their homes. This
is the second incident of the kind at the
same place.
