Horrors of the Indian Fam

BUTCHER wEYLERs' AWFUL WORK
Emaciated and weakened by Starvation
Death Alone Can Relieve
Their Suffering.

New York, Nov. S.-A World special
from Havana says:
Weyler has goL e, but his purpose to
''extermlnate the breed" of the Cuban
patriots is being fulfilled. Starvation is
killing the "concentrados' by the tens
of thousands. Hunger is doing what
Spain's 10000 soldiers cannot accom-
plish. The frightful suffering of those
who survive cry out to the mercy of
the civilized world. The physicians of
Havana are now forbidden to give star
vation as cause of death.
A correspondent in the town Of San
Domingo writes:
ga multitude of sick fall and die in
the streets here, and lie until, after hav-
ing served as lgnominious spectaclef for
some hours, they are collected and haul
ed away in carts used for garbage to the
dumping grounds. Some of these bodies
are thrown into the field to be eaten by
birds and dogs"
The birds of which this correspondent
writes are the vultures.
Both the newspapers which supported
Weyler and those who opposed him are
now forced to tell half the truth about
the starving concentrates, Here are
some whole truths made undeDiable:
Since Weyler's proclamation driving
the country people into the towns was
issued, half the western population of
Cuba has died. Half of those who have
survived are so weak, so emaciared, that
the flickering spark of life IN them will
surely soon be extinguished. They cam
not survive, although Blanco. the gov
ernor-general, has ordered that service
rations be issued to them, rations such
as his soldiers get. The lives of the
other half of the survivors Blanco will
save.
Photographs of starving children
speak louder than any words. These
photographs are taken at Guanabacoa
within an hours travel of the palace
here. Remember that with natural af-
lection intensified by suffering the par
ents of these children have given them
every morsel they could scrape together.
The mothers of these children deny
themselves food, refuse to eat the mis-
cradle scraps of meat and bread that
they may keep life in their children.
The children's legs are like pipestems.
One could count their ribs. Their joints,
made disproporLionately large by ema.
citation, seem immense. These are not
isolated cases. There are thousands
and thousands like them.
The assistant mayor of Havana says
there are $4,000 concentrates in this
city. Ragged, thin and starving, these
people are huddled in the public build
ings. The hospitals are as full as the
graveyards. Certain not more than go
per cent of the deaths among the con.
centrados in this city are reported. But
from these official figures it is easily
learned that the death rate among the
children of the concentrates in hospit-
ais and public buildings is 80 per cent
among the adults so per cent, and the

death rate in the smaller cities and
towns is even larger.
The absolute fact is that in Havana
the conditions are FIVE times better,
more favorable than anywhere else in
Cuba. Yet the Spanish officials reports
prove that 177S persons died in Havana
during the month of September last,
and 227S during October.

TUBULAR BATHlNG DRESSES.

frill Of serge stitched at the edge with
white, or a narrow white braid makes
the frills even smarter.
A little strip Of serge forms the short
sleeve, and two frills complete this, the
top one going only half the way round,
like an epaulet. The bodice fastens
slightly to the left. and buttons and
buttonholes should be strengthened by
a strip of linen. The skirt is gored, and
there is some slight fullness on the hips,
and rather more at the back. The serge
belt, with white braid, is mounted on
cotton webbing, and the skirt is finish
ed with frill and trimmed with mar
row white braid set on in vandykes.
A second model is Of dark red serge
trimmed with black wooden braid, and
the tiny waved braid is very pretty,
used just in the same manner as the
straight braid. This bodice has simu-
lated double breasted front, fastened
with pearl buttons, and revers made ON
linen and edged braid The sleeves form
little unlined pouffs. not very full, and
there Is bell epaulet, while the skirt
Is fuller than the first model, and set
in fat plaits at intervals round the
waist, and two box plaits at the back.

Fashion Echoes.

Toques all in one color, trimmed to
give a sideway tilt in effect, are the
latest note in millinery in Paris.
Tailor made costumes have much
shorter coat than those worn last year
and are more closely fitted to the figure.
Lace, chiffon and tulle bows are
worn at the neck, carefully adjusted
and held in place with jeweled scarf
pins.
The Victorian hair bow has supplant-
ed many of the old styles of dressing the
hair--that tiresome jug handle among
them.
A new leather for shoes has made
its appearance. 1t is very soft and pill
able, in art colors-pale greens, pinks,
azures and grays.
Shirt waist sleeves are loose from
shoulder to cuff, where they are drawn
into a great many tiny tucks like those
that insure flatness at the shoulder.

The Western Saddle.

Be it known that he who has ridden

that there are things he has no knowl-
edge of when first he throws leg over
the stock saddle of the west, and when
he has seen a broncho buster ride a
bucking mustang ON its native heath he
must admit that, although the COW boy
may be neither neat nor we'll hammered,
he could yet give points on rough rid
ing to those who follow the foxhounds.
As the cowboys mode Of riding Is
distinctive, SO is his horse furniture,
and it is admirably adapted to his par
ticular needs. The stock saddle, for in
stance. is as different from the English
hunting or park saddle as a park drag
is from a trotting sulky. Yet each Is
perfectly suited to the purposes for
which it was designed. The stock sad

must be heavily built, sometimes 40
