WEYLER DISTRESSED.

The Butcher General Hemmed Into
Havana and Threatened With Famine.
Washington, Aug. I4-The city of Ha.
vana now remains as Gen. Weyler's last
stronghold, and it is in danger of famine
by reason of the devastation of the neigh.
boring country. This is the result of the
insurgents efforts, according to the re.
port Of DR.. Brunner, the sanitary inspec.
tor of the United States marine hospitals
at that point. He says all supplies are
now received from New York, and this
shows that Havana is entirely dependen,
upon importation.
The condition of the city is terribly de-
moralized and want is most painfully
apparent There is no attempt made to
improve the sanitary condition of the
city and filth of all kinds blocks the
streets. His report abounds in dreadful
details of disease raging in consequence.
