almost beyond credence. Within the

this subject has reached the president

liable. During 1897 the Spanish SOL

80, 900 Spanish soldiers were sent back
to Spain invalided. 1t is stated that
at least 5000 of them were in a hope
less condition, and either died en-
route or soon after they landed in
Spain. This information, furnished
to the president through the United
States marine hospital service, has
had much to do with fixing the
determination that the volunteers
