There were about 1900 men sick when

THE fighting that night had not been

was so trying, after they had fought the
brought us all we could do. A good many
of the boys came to the hospital to see
the sick or to speak to US, and they al
ways told us good-by. 1t was usually
with a joke, but they all knew it might
be that only their bodies would come
back or they would be crippled forever.
They always told us to not forget the
folks at home and to make the news as
easy as we could if we We're left to do the
writing.
When the battle was at it's height we
could not care for the boys as fast as
they were brought in. The men went out
to the firing lines and picked up the
wounded, for it was boiling hot. 1t was
during these days when the Hospital
Corps forgot they were tired or that they
might be shot. They were shot often
They carried water and bandages out to
the lines and worked like heros at the
front and in the trenches. In the hospital
they would wash the wounds of the men,
give stimulants or morphine, and get
them ready for the doctors Every doctor
was busy operating. and some of the
nurses were assisting. The boys were
so brave and every one thought more of

some one at home who would suffer than
they did of their own pain, even when
they knew they were dying.
Almost always they sank into uncon-
sciousness and passed away without pain
and with everything done for them which
loved ones at home could have done.
THE officers wives and daughters
worked, too. General Miller's daughters
worked just as hard as any of us and
sewed and cooked food and washed dishes
and did what was hardest of all-wrote
letters home to tell that the soldier had
died who had been a husband or son, or
brother. So many of the boys had run
away, and these letters were the first
news.
II was moved to Corregidor Island soon
after the first battle and with one other
woman was in charge of the GONZALES
cents there. Corregidor is a beautiful
place, and the hospital is all tents under
the palm trees and having a cool, bracing
sea breeze. It is a much more healthy
place than Manila. Manila itself is vast
ly improved since the Americans have
been there. They have cleaned up the
place. It would be better to notice what
has been done than to criticize what has
not. We had all the milk and eggs we
wanted, and ice, too, though the officers
did not fare so we'll
eat Corregidor the boys were all con-
valescing and some got well fast. They
talked a great deal about the injustice OF
fighting the Filipinos. They did not like
it, They said they went out to fight
Spaniards and not Filipinos. There was a
village of the Filipinos near us. They had
been very friendly. but all around the
natives were joining the insurgents, and
we did not know how soon the nearby

There are now about forty women
nursing at Manila. They are the onlv
white women left, for the officers wives
have been sent home. man cannot
fight and be at the front and look after
his men and worry about his wife, who is
left in a dangerous place. None of the
older warriors took their wives out. 1t
was only the younger men and those who
were newly married.
Miss Annie Garcia was one of the sew
enteen nurses left at Honolulu to nurse
the soldiers when the epidemic of typhoid
fever broke out there.
About 800 men were i'll and Major Wood
in charge of the hospital, realized that
the regular hospital staff could not nurse
the fever patients. He made the first re-
quest for women nurses, and asked for
thirty.
Miss Garcia said: Il have had all the

management of the officers at Honolulu.

PROFITS OF
MONTE CARLO

TT is computed that now, at the
| height of the season, the bank is MAX
| ing on an average of $50, 900 a day Its
l yearly income is $4000,0OO; but out of
- this 1t pays the Prince of Monaco
subsidy of $40O 900 yearly. All national
tiles meet here; but there is always a
preponderance of Jews and the great
demi-mondaines of Paris bring the rich
est Russian and French noblemen in
their train.
, Now and then a table has to be replen-
ished when some well-known punter is
playing in luck; but in the end it is al
ways the bank that wins; and at night,
when the rooms close, it is an interest
ing and instructive sight to watch the
officials packing up their rolls of notes
, and gold.
AT each table there is a group of eight
or ten men gathered around the IRON
bound oak box, all alert and keen to de-
tect an attempt to rob the authorities or
cheat. Four officials lock the box with
their own keys and seal it with their
, special seals; but they are in their turn
watched by detectives, who see them
deposit the treasure in a cellar below.
and are present when they superintend
the counting of the gains by clerks next
day.

had all clean linen and his hair combed
and he crossed his hands and lay there
for the next two days, fairly beaming and
reveling in his cleanliness.
For weeks the hospital for the sick
was all we had to look after Then
trouble came. We had been listening to
every signal for days, expecting the call
to arms. It came about $50 o'clock at
night on February 4. Only part of the
boys went out at first We listened to the
firing, which was so near that stray bull
lets came into the hospital With the
first call the doctors and ambulances and
men nurses went out to the fighting line.
The men were excited and anxious to get
into the thick of it. We women stayed
al home and got everything ready. We
heard the enemy crying. 'Manana, Ma
nilar and less than a mile away We
knew 'Manana, Manila! meant the
looting of the town, but forgot all about
everything even the firing when the am
balances began to come in with the
wounded. They brought four in an am
bulance at a time and other wounded
came struggling along by themselves.
Some were carried in the arms and on
the backs of others
Then our training stood us in good
stead for we were all used to meeting
