TERRlBls STORY IF TRUE.

Some New aud Startling Figures OF the
Island OF Cuba'a Starvation.
New YORK, Nov ga dispatch to
The World from Havana says: Tbs
Worlds first figures Of Cuba's starya-
tioa were timi6ly moderate. They
showed the death RI only 100000. But
a very painful fact unearthed tends to
prove that they are more nearly double
that number. According to reliable
figures it is almost certain that she
massacre of Cuban insurgents will
reach almost 100000 This fearful de-
struction does not include those killed
in battle or the tens Of thousands OF
women and children who have died Of
'.managuas" and swanps.
It now seems certain that more than
500. 900 people, for the most part loyal
subjects Of Spain, have been killed BY
the Spanish war in CuDa. 4 weeks
trip through the provinces of Havana,
Matanzas and Santa CLARA has tended
to make moderate this tremendously
extreme figure. The figures OF Spanish
Official reports show but part OF tne
mortality. They only give the numbsr
buried in copsecrased grou20-they do
not give that fully. And yet these OIL
cial ultra Spanish reports Of the burial
permits issued admit that III the pre-
vince Of Santa Clara all that have died
and been buried since Weyler's fat
number n, ,S47.
The number Of people for whose exis-
teRce Weyler is directly responsible is
155, 132 IN Santa Clara province. And
OF these he has killed SS,2ie. or over
one half of them. Santa Clara has SO
far been the least destitute Of the prov
inces. Is has many cattle and not a
shick population. But Of this there are
5S per cent dead In Pinar del Rio the
rate is so per cent and in the provinces
Of Mantansas and Havana 60 and 70
Der cent mortality respectively.

The Woman's CHUBBY invitation
of Miss M. G. Tyler, the regular meeting
of the Woman's Club was held in the
Museum last Monday afternoon. Mrs.
Belle c. Stevens presided, in the absence
of both president and first vice-president.
After the reading of the secretary's
report of the last meeting, Miss Frances
Bissell was elected director in the state
federation in place OF Mrs. Fannie w.
Parkhurst, resigned. The office of assis.
tant treasurer was created and Mrs.
Louise E. Leavitt was elected to the Office
1t was voted to give up the card
notices, substituting regular notice in
the weekly papers one week before the
meeting.
After the reading of the current events
of the month by Mrs. Jessie S. Farr, Mrs.
Belle F. Fletcher introduced Miss Tyler,
who made strong plea for our birds,
giving many iacts hitherto unknown
about their untimely destruction, that
women's bonnets might be adorned. rhe
woodman's axe, which destroys the
forests, and the sportsman's rifle just for
"fun," are responsible in part for the
almost annihilaton of certain species.
But to Dame Fashion and her sisters
belongs the most blame. II women
would refuse to buy and wear on hats
and bonnets the plumes of the Florida
egret, the wings and breasts of many
other beautiful birds, there would be no
need OF killing the soloists Of the woods
and their feathered friends. That the
plumage is most brilliant during the
nesting season is well known, and this is
the time generally chosen for killing the
parent birds, leaving the helpless young
to starve and die. The formation of
Audubon societies was recommended for
the study and protection of the birds.
The birds are useful in destroying many
insects injurious to man and plant, and
for this reason should be protected.
Mrs. Mary r. Hatch read two original
stories. Both were bright and humorous
and the plots ingenious and very enter
tanning.
The July meeting will be under the
management OF the social committee.

Base Ball.-The Academy and Village

Base Ball.-The Academy and Village
teams played 10-inning game on the
campus Saturday afternoon. Score was
II to 16 in favor of Academy. If it
hadn't been for an unlucky error in the
ninth inning, the Village team would
have left the grounds victorious. The
Academy boys started off easy with
Tinker in the box. Tinker retired after
few innings and Merrill went in. Merrill
stayed but short time and then Wash
burne was put in to win the game. The
Village team, considering it was the first
time several Of them had played ball this
season, did fairly good work. The
Academy boys played without ginger
until the last two or three innings, when
they bracedup little under the influence
of Washburne in the box.

Special Village neeting.-There wa.
another special meeting on Saturday
evening, called by those who wanted th,
vote rescinded appropriating $4,000
for central fire station. The Town Hal
was filled and excitement ran high wher
the vote was being taken.
After the meeting was called to order
by President bowman, the chairman
gave brief history of the meetings that
had been held on the subject.
Capt. Edward F. Griswold said that
inasmuch as some doubt had been
expressed as to the legality of the vote
at the last meeting the trustees were
glad to have another meeting. and he
favored an adjournment of this meeting
until the voters could talk the matter
over and get all the information possible.
He also favored having the check list
used at the adjourned meeting.
Henry c. Bates said he wanted more
time to consider this question, and
moved that the meeting adjourn for two
weeks.
In seconding this motion Alexander
Dunnett said there was some question
whether the money could be legally
appropriated unless check list was
used
Marshall Montgomery said the other
side also wanted more time and he
moved to amend the motion by making
it four weeks later instead OF two weeks.
DR.. G. B. Bullard said the motion was
miserable subteif fuge and the time to
decide the question was tonight. He
didn't think the voters needed to be edu.
Gated by hired lawyers.
This last remark brought Mr.. Bates
quickly to his feet and he denied that he
had been hired to speak on the question.
He said he was here as taxpayer and
citizen of the village.
was present as hired lawyer and said
that he never spoke in a town or village
meeting for pay.
DR.. Billiard said he had been told that
the friends Of the measure had engaged
Mr.. Bates to speak for them, but he
would apologize for his remarks.
Mr.. Dunnett said he objected to having
the meeting adjourned four weeks be.
cause that would bring it on July 4.
(Laughter.)
Mr.. Montgomery said that was the
best night in the year to have fireworks.
No one seconding Mr.. Montgomery's s
motion, the chair called Tor vote on
Mr.. Bates motion A viva voce vote
was taken but the chair could not decide
which side won. The house was divided
but the hall was so crowded that this
method was found unsatisfactory. Then
a ballot was taken and 1S2 votes were
cast for the motion and 205 against it
and the motion was lost.
Dr. Bullard then moved that the vote
OF May rs, appropriatng $4,000 for 6
central fire station. be rescinded Thi.
motion was carried. DR.. Billiard
motion to adjourn sine dine was thet
carried and the crowd dispersed.
