Shocking Condition Of French
Soldiers in Madagascar.
HOSPITALS OVERCROWDED
Hundreds of Patients Lying on the
Ground, Groaning and Suffering for
Lack of Medicine, While Filth Is
AnAround Them-Bad COmmissary
Service and Climate Frustrating.

Paris, Sept. 21.-Mail advices received
here from Madagascar reveal a deplorable
condition of affairs in that island. In
hospitals calculated for the accommodation
of 25O men are crowded 600 sick French
soldiers, lying upon improvised hunks and
but insufficently attended by doctors and
nurses.
In each hospital hundreds of patients are
lying groaning upon the bare ground and
suffering from lack of medicine and food,
while the filtbiness that prevails every
where about them is indescribable. Tbs
doctors are doing the best they caR for
the alienation of the sufferings of the
sick and the mortality is surprisingly small
when the existing conditions are taken into
consideration.
Very few of the patients, however, re-
cover completely, most of those attacked
with sickness being so oreduced with anaemia
and SO subject to strange hallucinations as
to be quite incapacitated for further service
in the field.
Inmanycases thebodies ofFrenchs soldiers
have been devoured by dogs before they
could be buried. In a letter to the minister
of war, Gen. Duchene openly admits that
the hardships of the march, and bad COM
missary service have sent 5000 soldiers to
hospital, and that the bad climate is pros
trating the troops.
