hospitals in Havana. of which the largest,
called Alfonzo XIII, a wooden building
with room for 1920 beds, stands OF an
eminence In the outskirts Of the city.
The equipment of this hospital, which
was built by a Spanish engineer with an
American education. is very nearly per-
feet. The surface drainage Is complete,
and there are ample facilities. DR.. Brun-
er says. for caring for yellow fever and
smallpox patients.
The Hospital Quartet de MADEIRA. in
Jesus Maria parish, DR. Bruner says, Is
poorly constructed building with room
for 1000 beds which could only be used
for smallpox and yellow fever cases.
The Beneficial Hospital, "a stone building
with 1900 beds, Is even worse and the
report says it would be unwise 10 mse II
