The report Of the number of deaths
from diseases in the Spanish hospitals
in Cuba, as compiled from the official
records by DIR. Bruner of the United
States Marine Hospital service, pre-
sents some shocking statistics. During
last year alone the deaths in military
hospitals from all causes We're: From
yellow fever, 6,034; enteric fever, $500;
enteritis and dysentery, $4,000; malarial
fever, 1000; other diseases, 5000. Total,
1884. This, the report says, does not
include hundreds CT deaths among
troops sent back to Spain every month
in the last stages of disease. Fully 10
per cent. of the 10000 men sent home,
the report says, were destined to death.
Dr. Bruner says that the Spanish troops
were not properly fed, clothed or cared
for when sick. With proper food and
medical treatment, the death rate could
have been lowered so per cent, and he
opines that troops could be protected
with proper care from such a high rate.

There was story, jest and horse-play then

to breakfast when he was approached by a
fellow, a stranger, who said: Come ahead
and have breakfast with me- The invita-.

into the dining room and ate heartily, for
Kewens jokes are apt to be appetizing and
spicy. After breakfast the Angeleno
thought he would pay his bill, and SO, bid

bill. There it was, dinner room and two
