present, aside from the slaughter OF defence

has been the destruction OF the banana

has destroyed all Of these productive trees.
Details Of the outrageS committed by the
Spanish troops In WeYler's march to the east
have been learned here. Every day brings
fresh reports Of Spanish cruelty. Despite
all the official denials and the mild state
ments given at the press censor's bureau In

is that neither sex nor age has been re-
spected by Weyler's soldiers. The rural non
escape the weapons Of the Spanish soldiery,
and there they bear living testimony to their
sufferings. In many towns the poor have
committed suicide by the dozen rather than
die of starvation after being deprived of all
their means ofsupport.

of this war cannot fail to recall the slaughter
OF the Indians In the early years OF the

A fair criterion of condition OF the people
is found in the poorhouses which. In ad-
dition to beegars are crowded with laborers
reduced to skeletons. The stomachs OF some
Of them are hollow and the skin is hanging
In large folds. Others have swollen stomachs,
the sign of acute privation. The cattlemen
and the ryots, or f1eld-workers, usually stall
wart men, are unable to do anything, and
the women are In the same condition.
The better classes among the people Of
india are beginning to feel the pinch Of the
famine Many are selling furniture and Or
naments at ruinous prices. In the Deccan
district even the farmers are applying to the
Government for aid. People OF the lower
caste. 1t is asserted, are at the present time
living on the "fat Of the land" The explain
,tion is made that they are gorging them
selves upon the carcasses OF cattle, which
are dying by the thousand.
One woman, lately mother, has been at
.acked with rheumatism, caused by exposure.
and fs paralyzed. Her babe is horrible to
look at. Its legs are about the size OF pipe
stems and its sunken eyes have piteous
look. No provisions has been made for these
,ases, and the minimum dole OF food Is only
enough to keep body and soul together.
II is useless to try to send the natives to
hospitals. They prefer to die. Some horri-
ole sights we're witnessed. A man. with
