THE CONGO.
The Congoese African Red Cross, after twenty years of existence as a separate society with headquarters in Brussels, has, upon the annexation of the Congo by Belgium, given up its existence. Its hospitals at Banana and Leopoldville and its sanitarium at Banana, with its remaining funds, amounting to some seventeen thousand dollars, have been accepted by the Belgian Government, which, in its turn, has agreed to maintain these institutions with their personnel.
