CAMPAIGN or THE TORCH.

Key West, Fla. July zo.-Ine
situation in Cuba is even worse, nc
cording to advices received here.
The insurgents are daily destroying
trains by dynamite and burning
sugar estates, while Spaniards con-
tinue to burn the homes Of Cuban
peasants. According to the Official
reports the Spaniards burned nearly
5000 houses last week. In many
cases these houses were only Occu-
pied by women, the men being in the
iusurgent army. Where women
were found alone they were fire.
quently forced to Submit to the
outrages from the soldiers.
The campaign Of the torch which
Weyler has inauguratcd is forcing
the country people into the cities,
where they are dying by scores, Of
hunger and disease. Many OF the
refugees die by exhaustion before
they reach the cities.
The Fernandez family. consisting
OF father and mother aud six little
children, were driven from their
home BY Spani.ris last week and
the house burned. The family
started for Matanzas on foot. They
were five days on the way. and
for three DAYS we're without food.
Four OF the children died OF hunger
and exhaustion and the parents
carried the little corpses In their
arms. On the fifth day, when
about six miles from Aatanzas, the
father, mother and other two chil-
dreu succumbed and dropped by
the roadside, dead, save the father,
who lived only long enough to tell
the story.
At the parched breast OF the
mother was . babe only few weeks
old.
Many similar stories reach
Havana, but the above 10 sufficient
TO show what horrors result from
WeyIeI's policy Of burning the
homes OF the Cubans. Driven 10
to clues, the men are compelled
to enter the Spanish army. while
the women become the sport Of the
troops. Weakened By lack Of food,
these refugees become easy victims
Ut yellow fever.
Ii the hospitals OF Matanzas.
Havana and Santiago it is estimated
that there are IL, 600 yellow fever
and smallpox patients. OF these
about 1000 are Spanish soldiers.
The exodus from the island con
tinues, every steamer being crowd
ed. Official reports show that near
" 1000 persons have left Caba
since Weyler arrived. but these 6g-
ures do not cover the exodus, for
hundreds Too poor to pay passage
have taken refuge on the little keys
adjoining Cuba. where they are
snbsisting on fruit and Dish.

about Willis J. Abbot, the Journals

weeks before the Chicago conven.

suggestion, wa publishing signed
articles by prominent men ON each

seems that among the names Ut
men from whom articles were de-
sired Mr.. Abbot submitted to
Mr.. Hearst, the Journals propri-
etor, that of Mr.. William J. Bryan,
OF Nebraska, whom he had known
and admired for years. Mr. Bryan's
fame. however. had not then reach
ed Mr.. Hearst, and. strange 70 say,
the name Of the man who was .
month later the Democratic nomi-
nee Tor President was the only one
crossed OF the list. ''But he may
be nominated for President said

Mr.. Hearst ironically, ''but not this
