Consul Stern Reports ON Workings or

Some valuable statistics relative to the
growth in Germany of the workingmen's
insurance system have been received at
the State Department from United states
Consul Stern at Bamberg. These socie-
ties insure against sickness, accident and
old age, and in the opinion of the Consul
have had beneficial influence upon the
economical and social position of the Ger
man working classes. He says that in
country like Germany, where low wages
allow but small fraction of the laboring
classes to put by something for u rainy
day, a great deal has been accomplished
by this system, which, he hopes, may be
extended to other countries. In ten years,
from 1885 to 1895, claims to the amount
of $296, O15, 1914 have been paid to Do
O61 $50 persons, and $500 per day is
disbursed in such benefits.

Want Preys Upon Them.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat has this
from Key West: Zone of the most promi-
nent cigarmakers here, who has just re-
turned from Havana, said, in speaking of
the distress in Cuba, that the half is not
told. One of the unavoidable results of
Weyler's cruel decree concentrating the
country population in the fortified towns
and cities, said he, is that want and
starvation have become frightful, espe-
cially in the province of Pinar del Rio,
from which authenticated details of bru-
tally and suffering among the American
residents are heart-rending. In this
province hundreds of refugees are living
in the most squalid manner, being hud-
died together like pigs in overcrowded
huts and shanties, while the native in
Sabitants look on with the most disgust
ing indifference. Between thirty and
fifty patients were huddled together in
the smallpox pest houses, their couches
being old boards laid upon the damp
ground. There are no physicians to at
tend them. while their food is both poor
and insufficient. Unless immediate as
sistance is rendered these poor creatures.
starvation Is inevitable for all who do not
die of smallpox and other scourges. The
condition Of the American refugees at
San Cristobal is very similar to the mis-
cries and starvation endured by the poor
creatures in Pinar del Rio Reliable in
formation from all of the four western
provinces is that the terrible ravages OF
starvation and disease among the recon-
centrados is beyond belief. Weyler's
policy is one of determination"
