STARVED IN THE STREETS.
Ma1treatment of an English Newspaper
Correspondent BY Spaniards.

London, October 2o.-The Daily
Chronicle this morning commenting up
on the death in Cuba last week Of W.
Hughes, correspondent of Black and
White of London, who is said to have
starved to death in the streets of Havana
after having been maltreated and robbed
by party OF Spanish guerillas, says:
II the story of his death Is true, fresh
exeoration Of Spanish action will arise
and the British government will have
something to say"
Hughes was found dead on the Prado
last Thursday night. He had recently
visited Pinar del Rio with pass from
the military government. 1t ID said that
while there a party Of Spanish guerillas,
in broad daylight and in the presence Of
Spanish officers, assaulted and robbed
him Of every thing he had except his
clothes. Hughes, it Is alleged, appealed to
the military commander for help and de-
manded the restitution of his property,
but was only laughed at. He was obliged
ITO walk the entire distance to Havana and
reached the city ragged and tsarving.
Having lost his passport he could not es-
tablish his identity or communicate with
friends in England He starved to death
In the streets. Hughes had earned an ex-
oellent reputation as war correspondent

music suffering most. The first great
service of Christianity to music was in
setting hymns to melody and its gradual
ly purified music. About 400 A. D.,
Bishop Ambrose originated the first au-
thentio form of the church chant, called
the Ambrosian Chant. This form was
in use 200 years and was succeeded in 900
by the superior Gregorian chant, still
used in Roman Catholic, ard to some
extent il the Episcopal churches. These
early chants consisted of but single tones
no harmony whatever. The ear was the

monk Huebald, improved later by Guido
All other arts outstripped music. Fran ko
of Cologne later invented signs, short
and long, which gradually developed the
sense of rhythm. One of the most inter
esting and romantic epocs in musical
history is that of the ago OF the Trouba-a
dours.
England established her first school of
music about 1900. The frame of the Eng.
lish schools rests upon their perfection Of
the madrigal and glee. The most far
reaching influence came from the Bel
gian, Flemishi or Netherland schools.
The latter part of the 10th and 18th CEN

men. To Italy we owe vast improvement
in ecclesiastical music and also the be-

1856 were born in Germany two of the
most remarkable geniuses of the world,
Bach and Handel. Haydn, Mozart and
other immortal masters were eloquently
referred to at this point. There is no
more certain evidence of the gain our art
has made in this country than tine rise of
German opera and it's increasing favor.
Now Wagner's operas are received all over
the world with such delight that the
days OF Italian opera seem to be num-
bered.
