STARVATION FIGURES.
Weyler Responsible For Nearly a
Million Deaths.

Million Deaths.
New York, Nov. pa dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
The Worlds figures of Cuba's star
walton were timidly moderate. They
showed the death of only 100000 But
every painful fact underneath tends to
prove them nearly double that num-
Der.
When the grim returns are all in it
is now almost certain that this Cuban
massacre of the innocents VIII reach
100000. And this awful number does
not include those killed in battle or
the thousands and thousands of women
and children who have died of expos
ure, disease and massacre in the
sWamps 1t now seems certain that
more than half a million people, for
the most part loyal subjects of Spain,
have been killed by Spanish war in
Cuba
A weeks trip through the provinces
of Havana, MatanZaS and Santa Clara
has tended to make moderate this ire
mendous, extreme figures. The figures
of Spanish official reports show but a
part of the mortality. They only give
the number buried in consecrated
ground-they do not give that fully
And yet. these official, ultra-Spanish
reports of burial permits issued admit
that in the province Of Santa Clara
there have died and been buried since
Weyier's fat, 71,S47 persons.
The number of people for whose ex-
istence Weyler is directly responsible
IS 155, 1872 in Santa Clara province. And
Of these he has killed S6,216, or over
one-half of them.
Santa Clara has so far been by far
the least destitute OF the provinces. 1t

population. Between it's SO per cent
