To Starve Cuba Out.
Weyler staying cattle and destroying crops.

KEY WEST, Dec. =. Weylers threat
that he would starve Cuba out seems
likely to be carried out, as from all reports
from Mariel, near where Captain General
Weyler is now, the work of destruction is
being carried out fully. The Spanish
army sweeps everything before it. Killing
beeves that it cannot use, burning cane
fields and small stores with their provi-
sions and leaving a wide waste Of ruin and
desolation in its wake.
People vainly implore Weyler to leave
them provisions to keep them alive, but
his brutal officers refuse with oaths and
insulting words, if not worse. Over 300
refugees have come into Marel since Wey
Ter went out this last time. all giving the
same story of raping, plumber and murder
of Cubans. A Spanish guerilla captain
named Colzeazo is accused Of numbering
over 100 persons in the valleys 100 miles
south of Marel, during the latter part of
November.
In one instance he is accused of combining
a number of women and girls in church.
and after they had been repeatedly abused
and maltreated by his men, burned the
building with them in it. Many other out
RACES, all as horrible, are charged to him.

ness has it been of benefit to some of my
family.
Il have heard Of many from this locali-
ty who have derived benefit from its use
My son was in large school when a fire

disastrous, which excited him and unset

used Dr.. Greene Nervura blood and nerve

''We are glad Of this opportunity to

troubles.
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve

Another Year of Church Entertain
mentS.

For monumental godlessness made en-
durable by no saving grace of humor, for
simian imbecility, for supreme and mimi
table folly, unmarried by the slightest sug-
gestion either of common decency or Or
binary self-respect, for grovelling basen ess
and depraved vulgarity, The Trilby Par
ty, otherw Sc the Foot Social, otherwise
the Ankle Auction, stands at the head of
church entertainments of the year. While
others are trudging along the weary plains

Methodist Episcopal Church of Sutfern,
New DIRK and st. Johns Protestant Epis-
copal Church of New Brunswick, New

ease with which it lends itself to the worse
than dubious; and l have no doubt that
the press accounts of the scenes which at
tended the bidding are, in both cases,
| highly colored, though the most literal
truth would certainly be exciting enough
The Boston Sunday Journal illustrated
one of these events with half page pic

in other papers, describe show which,

The Navy's Sea Duty.
In One Year over 100000 Miles were Covered.

In OUe year over ZoU,UUV MhoS WIZ eVVOTCus
Secretary Herbert forthcoming annual
report will show that the navy during the
1tast wear has steamed tritle over 25O, 600
miles in accomplishing the varied purposes
of that service. Some Of the ships have
steamed less than thousand miles, the
smallest distance covered by any one ship
being the forty-four miles OF the Terror,
when the battery OF that ship was tested.
The ship with the best record for dis
lance is the apprentice training ship Es-
sex in command OF Commander Louis
Kingsley. Within the period covered by
the record this ship went on European
cruise, returned to the United States and
made another cruise in European waters,
sailing a distance of 16,903 miles. The
longest single trip made by the ship in
the year was from Funchal, Madeira, to
Sag Harbor, Long Island, 3,643 miles. A
few months previously the Essex had sail
ed from Newport to Southampton, dis
lance of 3,533; miles.
Notable single trips were those of the
Concord, from Yokohama to. Honolulu,
1924 miles; of the Boston from San
Francisco to Honolulu, 8, $50 miles; of the
Monongahela, from Funchal to Annapolis,
o.9 Z9 miles: or the CnarleSloH, IIom hOUe
to Yokohama, 3, 39S miles; of the Olympia
from Honolulu to Yokohama, 3, 400 miles,
and of the Baltimore, from Yokohama to
Honolulu, 8, 400 miles, and then within a
few days leaving for San Francisco, dis
ance of 2,095 miles.
The longest single trip made by any
ship was from Newport to Funchal, by the
Lancaster, a distance of 1924 miles. The
ship proceeded thence to the Cape Verde
Islands, whence it was assigned to the
South Atlantic station, and sailed for
Montevideo, distance Of 1924 miles, a
total of 10, 900 miles in six months.
| A great deal Of sea travelling by our
naval ships has been for such work as
target practice, squadron drills and tacti-
cal drills. Distances covered in this pur-
suit by some. of the vessels are $50 miles
| by the New 7 ork, 300 miles by the Col
umbia, POI miles by the Maine, ISL miles
| by the Monterey, and All, III, 1,5lO and
I 1920 miles successfully by the Boston.
/ Among the largest records, next to that
Of the Essex, We're those Of the Minneap
oils. l., 97S miles. The best records for
distance among the first class ships were
