Put to Death.

New York, July pa Herald
special from Key West, Fla, says:
Private letters from Matanzas,
Cuba, to responsible merchants in
this city give shocking details con
nected with the capture Of rebel
hospitals by the Spanish, located
respectively at Isabel and Magdale
IA, in that province. Drs. Roig and
Izquierdo, surgeons of the Cuban
army, in charge, with their assist
ants and corps of nurses, were all, 1t
is alleged, put to the machete, while
the helpless, and wounded were
assassinated in their cots and the
buildings then burned over their
heads to conceal the crime.
Small insurgent detachments
guarding the hospital made des-
perate but vain defense against over
whelming forces.

Bryant, widow, and two children
They lived in fat along Benson

houses were washed away before the
occupants knew their danger. Many
people living in Benson valley left
their houses and waded out through

Travelling Men in Politics,

An auspicious indication of VIC
torious democratic campaign is the
prompt organization Of a democratic
travelling mems clubs. Within three
days after the nomination of Bryan
these clubs began to organize. One
was organized in ST. Louis Monday
night with an initial membership Of
sixty.
Travelling business men are in
close touch with the business world.
They know its condition and its
needs. Better than any other class
Of men they are able to realize the
extent OF the depression now exist
ing. They have been able to trace
the effect to its cause. Nearly every
travelling man in the west ia for sill
yer and against the gold standard.
They will admit this in private con.
VerSatlon, ana Wnlle not all OF tne
republicans among them will join
Bryan clubs, they will be none the
less devoted to the great principle
for which Bryan stands.
These men exert tremendous in.
fuence il politics. They are intel
ligent, well-equipped for discussion
By information and the ready ex-
preston which gees with their
calling. and earnest workers for
every cause that will promote bust
ness prosperity. Young, active and
tireless, they Will make themselves
felt in this campaign.-Ex.

: Rev. Sam Small. besides being a
great revlvalist, can talk good polit
ical sense, as we'll He remarked to
a Kansas City reporter the other
day:
We have fair example of what
the gold standard will do for a
country in the present internal con.
dition If England l, has built up
the financial classes, the banking g
classes. and the aristocracy at the
expense Of TIE common people. A
bill is now pending in parliamen. to
pay bounty to the farmers of En-
gland il order to enable them to
live. tell you. sir, when they have
to pay bounties and subsidies to the
agricultural classes there is some
thing radically wrong Yet they
must either DO this or have farming
driven out OF England. They have
ruined their farming classes by the
gold standard Now it is only a
question between giving these peo
pie bounty on what they produce
or having them emigrate to America.
Land has become SO high, and the
price of their products so low, that
it does not pay to farm it. The
81 -aithy class are buying the land
up for parks and landed estates in
which their children can play"
They tell us that the United
States cannot maintain the double
standard against the world. England
maintained the single gold standard
from 1916 to 1873 without help
from other nations, and finally forced
most OF them to adopt it. The
United State is much better able to
force the bimetallic standard on the
world to-day than England was to
force the gold standard, especially
as all of them except England want
the double standard.

BUT FEW NPEOP[ELT CHURCH
Washington Ministers Spoke
to Slim Congregations.
WEATHER WAS TOO HOT
At Dumbarton Avenue Services for
the Evening Were Dispensed with.
Visiting Dfvines Filled "A Number
of Local Pulpits-Some Interesting
Subjects Handled.

In the summer season church going
is usually at ebb tide, and during this
heated spell the houses or worship look
like school rooms on u semi-holiday oc-
cAsion.
The more wealthy congregations fall
off appreciably at the approach Of the
heated term and during July and August
such large percentage have hied thehl-
selves away to mountain and seaside sum-
mer resorts that the session or vestry
usually close the doors until the return Of
couI weather. Many of the large churches,
though, ure not closed while preacher and
people are rus.icating. The churches which
are still holding services have their pulpits
supplied, in the majority Of cases, by
visiting ministers, who officiate in the
absence of the regular pastor. These
clergymen preach to almost empty benches.
Those who remain in the city are 10th to
brave the heat of the day and generally
succuInb to the seductive temptation to re-
main where negligee and cooling draughts
bring some relief when bell and chime
peal forth from beifry and tower calling
the congregation to meditation and prayer.
It required great physical effort and en-
thusasm in his subject for minister to
get his small band OF hearers interested in
his subject yesterday, and II by supreme
effort lie did so the effect Of the strain
was plainly seen i'll his exhausted and worr-
out Condition. In one case large au-
dience was secured at sacred celebra-
ton. because OF the notableness OF the
occasion, but the numbers attending did
not reach the estimate.
