Hospital Horrors az Manila.

~ Red Cross nurse who has been
n n duty at Manila arrived In
SAN Francisco yesterday and
tells a remarkable story Of suffering IN
the Manila hospitals. Scores Of our
soldiers. she says. are dying in these
hospitals for want of proper nourish-
ment." The attendance is as inadequate
as the proper food:
oh. the utter woo of the hospitals, the
helplessness of the men, az bright and
noble as God ever made, giving up 10

Iieve the despair that comes upon them.

cheer. to write friends. to soothe aching,
brows or moisten parehed lips. 81 by

OF vitality they do get better. there is
before them nothing hut a still more
cherries period of eonvalescence with a
probability of relapse, and the old wear
iness Of despair 20 he suffered again. No
wonder there are six or seven funerals
daily. No wonder the dead house is never
empty.
II this account is true. and there Is
no reason TO doubt II. the friends Of
the Montana volunteers will find II i'm
possible 20 suppress serious misglv-
ings and alarm. The extreme distance
Of Manila from San Francisco renders
Immediate help and succor from this
country impossible. inc all that can be
done here is to hope n pray for an al
deviation of the suffering and a speedy
improvement in the care and treatment
given the sufferers.
1t was hoped and believed hat the
Manila hospitals would escape the mer-
tied and terrible criticisms provoked by
the wicked state of affairs that pre-
vailed in the military hospitals in this
country and at Santiago during the
summer and early fall. But geograph-
;cally and every other way the effects
of the gross incompetancy of the medi-
cal department are far reaching. Cur

~HE startling announcement has
been made that Speaker Reed

The fact is accepted by some close po-
litical students as indicating that Reed

all presidents smooth-faced. clean

try a Resort of Criminals.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Unless the UNI
expected happens the United States
n Mexico Will be without an extradi-
ton treaty on the 18th of next month.
The situation promises to be one of
gravity and the Mexican border is like
ly to be a paradise for fugitives from
justice and criminals OF every descrip-
tion until a new treaty, because our
government refused to deliver up on
extradition proceedings certain Mexi-
rams who had escaped across the line
and were accused by their own govern
ment Of various offenses of a criminal
character. but who. IL is asserted, were
really wanted for political reasons. The
case of Guerra, who was involved in
one of the periodical raids across the
border OF New Mexico, organized by
the leader. Cara, caused the break.
Mr.. Clayton, United States minister to
Mexico. is en~deavoring to make a new
treaty. but with the serious difference

A Trip TO St. Marks.

The editor Of the BREEZE, accompan.
/ led by Mr.. Fred Farley, visited ST
Marks, Sunday, and took In the many
sights Of that historical old town.
st, Marks is the terminus of the st,
Marks x. r., which is the oldest rail
road in Florida, and third Oldest in { he
world. We arrived there at about II
o'clock in the forenoon, and immediate
~ procured boat and went down the
river TO the old Spanish Fort
This old fort il situated at the conflu-
ence of the st Marks and Wakula riv-
ers, and commands fine view of the
surrounding country, rs well rs the
mouth of the river.
Only the plastered brick walls
Of this fine old building are now left
standing, although the breastworks are
as solid rs they were three quarters Of
century ago, and the grounds are car
peted with II rich growth of meadow
grass, and shaded by beautiful little
grove of cedar trees.
The place where the powder magn-
zine was situated, has been filled in,
making a large mound, on top of which
md shaded by splendid cedar, some
SHERMAN with a romantic turn Of
mind has built little cottage of pal
metto leaves.
Beneath the shadow Of the walls Of
the now delapidated old fort, we ate
our lunch, after which we returned
to IT. Marks, and strollng up to the
nosptable home of Mr., w. II, Harrell,
jpent the balance Of the evening very
pleasantly with that gentleman and his
family.
St. Marks was once rated sn,dng the
principal ports of the United States,
but has dwindled down until the GUS
toms examiner has been removed, and
it has become simply n landing place
f)r fishing sniacks and starting
point for Cuban filibusters.
There are only two stores and shin
gle factory there now, but ST. Marks
will always be a paradise for fishermen,
hunters and sight-seers.
