lhe World shows that one of the best
places where the country people were con-

owned by the American citizen Perfecto
oacoste. The actual figures of the death
rate there show an almost unbelievable
state OF affairs. When the estate was for
tined Sacoste allowed only the vigorous
men whom he could use during the sugar
season to remain. With their families
there were 1000 persons. To-day there
are not 500 left. The 1900 persisted of
hunger.
There was no epidemic. Sacoste planted
vegetable gardens for their support, but

SWEPT BY FIRE.
London Scourged by a Visitation Of
Flames.


One of the most disastrous fires in Lon
don's history since the great fire of 1865
broke out in a large block of buildings
lying eastward of Aldersgate street and
between that thoroughfare and Red Cross
street, just after / o'clock Friday after
noon. Over 100 warehouses were de-
stroyed and the loss will probably exceed
f3,0O0,00O. The flames were famed by
strong wind and were fed by highly in
fammable stocks of Christmas fancy
goods and fimsy dress materials Of all
descriptions that filled every floor Of the
six-story buildings in the old street. Con-
sequently the confagration gained head
way with surprising rapidity and was
soon far beyond the possibility Of being
checked by the few engines which We're
early on the spot.
For four hours and half the flames
had their own way, and it was only after
more than a hundred engines had worked
for an hour that the chief of the fire
brigade sent out the signal that the fire
was under control. At II o'clock at night
the fire was still the scene of great excite
ment. Fifty engines were playing upon
the ruins, and tons of water were pour
ing into the fiery debris.
Thousands of people tried to penetrate
the Gordon maintained by thousand po-
licemen, re-enforcements for whom were
hurried up when, soon after o'clock, an
increase in the outbreak led Commander
Wells to make requisition for more en-
gines upon the outlying stations. The
scene will occupy the fire brigade for
several days, especially in view of the
grave danger Of the collapse of shells Of
buildings which fall now and again with
a loud report.
Hamsell street was the scene of the out
break of the fire, which was due to an ex-
plosion in connection with a gas engine
on the premises of Walter Brown Il Co.,
mantel manufacturers at No. 80 on that
thoroughfare Their third factory was

of palm bark for coffin each miserable
skeleton has been buried a few inches
under ground.
In the small towns the misery seems
to be growing. The register Of the priest
of Artelnisa parish shows total OF o,oUo
deaths for period Of 73 years before the
war; Since Weyler's Infamous "Brando
the deaths have been 5,123.
Seventy three years of peace cost not
much more than half the lives lost in one
year of Spanish war. And the dead vic
TINS of Weyler's hate were bot rebels.
At Artemisa deaths continue eight to
ten per day. No food is being issued by
the authorities, as there is none there. In
Madruga during October 422 people died.
The town had $500 inhabitants. At
Guines there is shelter neither for the
troops nor for the non-combatants, and
both are dying fast. The ''reconcentra-
dos have absolutely nothing to eat. In
one day, Nov. 10, my informant states
that GOO persons died-all presumably
from hunger.
In oneasnall house the correspondent
found seventy persons. Two dead bodies
lay upon the earthen floor, uncovered. The
packed living ones, most of them seated
upon the mud paid no attention to the
dead. Despair and weakness made them
Indifferent.
At Trinidad the greater majority of the
inhabitants have nothing left to eat. In
Ysabel and Cuevitas it is the same. AL
most all of Guataros "reconcentrados'
are dead And in Pinar del Rio the cor
respondent of Havana official paper
states that ''little children scratch with
bloody fingers in the ground for the sm@l
roots of sweet potatoes, their mothers
holding their miserable offspring to sterile
bosoms."
Nor are the reconcentrados the only
ones who have persisted and are perish
ing in the horrible war The Spanish sol
diers have died rapidly or have become
disabled. AS nearly as can be conserva-
lively computed from official figures, little
more than half are left alive and we'll of
the 10000 vigorous peasant lads Spain
sent to Cuba The figures are:
Died in hospitals. ............. .32,UUO
Killed and died on the field. $3.50. 10000
Sent back to Spain as ''inutile'. $4,000
Now in hospitals. .12,OOO
Total .OI,oOo
OF this enormous number it is lmprob-
able that more than 5000 met death or
disability from Cuban bullets, even during
the real fighting of the invasion and the
six months thereafter. Gen. Maceo estl-
mated for the World that not more than
3. 600 Spanish soldiers had fallen in battle.
That was in August, 1896. Since then
very little fighting has been done.

MOODY AND IkGERSOll-
The Arguments of Two Lives FOR and
Against Christianity.

Against CEristianity.
A New York paper prints an argument
for Christianity "outside the Bible" by
Dwight l.. Moody on the same page with
an argument against Christianity and
the Bible by Bob lngersoll. Figures OF
the disputants stand back 10 back be-
tween. above the score of Mr.. Sankey' S
sacred song, The Ninety and Nine"
and Ingersoll's presence there is highly
suggestive Of the lost and wicked sheep.
The arguments depend for their
cogency almost entirely upon the sym
pathies of the reader. Mr.. Moody APP
peals 10 Christianity's record for good !;
lngcrsoll dwells upon the cruelties prac-
ticed in the name of churches. Moody
refers to the ennobling effect of Christs
character, deeds, ard teachings upon
men of all degrees from the wisest and
strongest to the weakest nrd most ig-
norant; Ingersoll points to what he
considers TO be the fatal contradiction
of the Scriptures and their unsound
rules of life, such, for example, rs the
doctrine of nonrcsistance. Moody
claims that civilization is the conquest
OF the Christian religion over the savag"
nature of man; Ingersoll sneers at the
miracles and intimates that man has
become civilized in spite of the Bible.
All intelligent people are acquainted
with these arguments. They have gone
over them in their own minds quite in
dependently OF either Mr.. Moody or
Pope Bob. II is rather the men brought
thus In juxtaposition than what they
have TO say that interests us. The
questions spring to our lips: rs
humanity more indebted to It's Moody
or It's Ingersoll? Which is the exemplar
OF the better, the more helpful, and in
spring faith?"
BY their deeds YOU shall know them.
You may throw all the preaching out OF
the life Of the one and you will find hirn
ever organizing and striving for the re-
lief of the suffering and the needy, and
for the uplifting Of the depraved.
Strong, helpful, philanthropic associn-
ticns of men and women in every part
of the lund acknowledged his learedship
with love and gratitude. When his la
borious life is closed thousands upon
thousands will tell OF the good that he
has done.
But the other? His deeds are his ar
guments in courts for the millonaies
and corporations that can afford to
hire him; his lectures, which men pay
to hear that he may become richer and
they learn TO scott. HIS sole contribu-
tion TO suffering humanity consists of
words, and even his sweetly-Phrcsed
bet empty and meaningless expressions
of sympathy are bought,
If mans religion is the handspring
of his life no one should hesitate lorg
between the religion of Dwight l..
Moody ard the religion of Robert ].
