DISTRESS IN INDIA.
People Only Saved from Starvation by
Government Relief Work.

People Only Saved from Starvation by
Government Relief Work.
B1JAPUR, Jan. 27.-The special CORE
spondent Of the Associated Press, who Is
visiting the distressed provinces Of India,
has arrived at Bijapur, about 245 miles
southeast of Bombay, and finds In this
district the keenest distress, especially
among the people of the lower castles.
They are on the verge of starvation, and
are only saved from 1t by the government
relief work, which enables them to earn
enough money to at least keep body and
soul together while awaiting the brighter
state Of affairs which the recent rains are
expected to provide later in the year.
1t Is estimated that fully one-tenth of
the cattle In this district have already per-
ished from lack of fodder, and the loss
from this cause will undoubtedly be con-
siderably increased between now and the
growing Of the new crops. In the fields
can be seen lying numbers Of carcasses of
animals being devoured by vultures.
There are many gangs of robbers engaged
In pillaging grain stores whenever an op-
portunity arises, and the prisons are full
of thieves who have been captured while
stealing grain, or in an attempt to do SO.
Among the masses there are many cases
of illness arising from lack of proper nour-
ishment and emaoiation, and it is regarded
as certain that cholera will reach this dis
trict sooner or later, owing to the careless
ness of the people, who dread being taken
to the hospitals provided for their care, be-
lieving that they are certain to die within
a fortnight if they enter hospital.
The utmost resources of the government
will be taxed before long in the efforts
which will have to be made to cope with
the steadily increasing distress.

Accident to q alaighIng Party.

ALTOONA, Pa, Jan. s7-The reports of
an accident to a sleighing party near Ty-
rome Monday night were much exagger-
ated. A party of eighteen young men
and women Of that town started In q
large sled for a nights diversion at farm
house at Eden Valley, several miles east
of Tyrone While descending an embank-
ment leading from the railroad tracks the
brakes failed to hold and the sled slipped
over the embankment, falling five feet
Miss Alice Haddon, of Washington, Pa,
and Miss Jennie Slower, Of Bollefonte,
both Of whom were visiting in Tyrone,
were picked up unconscious but not
seriously injured The party suffered
mainly from the intense cold The news
of the accident reached Tyrone In sensa-
tional form, and the railroad authorities
promptly sent to the scene relief train
with four physicians. At late hour the
party WAS returned to Tyrone, and all
were able to walk to their homes.

INSURGENTS VICTORY.
Attack on Spanish Garrison Of
Two Hundred Men.


The Report Was Sent In as Spanish VIC
tory. but the Report States That the
Troops Left the Field Before tho In
surgsnts Did,"
CINCINNATI, Jan. GA special to The
Commercial Tribune from Key West
says: News from Havana reports that
not battle was waged at Las Mangas,
Pinar del Rio province, on Thursday, be-
tween one Of Colonel San Martins de-
tachments and two troops of insurgents
commanded by the brothers Delgado.
The place has Spanish GARRISON of 200
men. The Delgados marched to attack
IT, and word was sent by Spaniards to
San Martin for aid. The insurgents pre-
pared reception for San Martins band.
On the way the column had to cross a
deep creek through narrow defile. The
Cubans undermined the bridge and hid
on the roadside beside the thick brush.
As the Spaniards ca1he upon the bridge
1t went down and precipitated thirty men
into the water. The regular formations
were broken in the attempt to rescue the
soldiers in this water Here the Cubans
poured in a destructive fire, and then
shouting Cuba libre" charged fercely
upon them with machetes The Span
1ards could not retreat, and the fight was
hot and bloody one. Major Andres the
Spanish officer was killed, with two Of
his lieutenants.
The troops suffered terribly. the Gu.
bans hewing their way through them to-
wards the colors, where more desperate
hand to hand encounter occurred, but the
Cubans captured the flag, and then the
Spaniards fed. The troopsat Las Mangas
hearing the firing, made demonstration,
and the Cubans, fearing to be caught be-
tween two fires, retreated, carrying off
their dead and wounded. The Spanish
loss is reported at over hundred, while
the Cubans did not lose over fifteen men.
At the palace in Havana the report was
sent In from Las Mangas of a Spanish
