CAN'T STOP IT NOW
EVIL THAT WBYLER DID LIVES
AFTER He Is GONE.


His Policy of discriminating the Cuban
by Concentrating Them in the Town
Has Never Slain More of Its Thousand
Than at This Day, When Dineren
Policy Is Supposed to PrevaiI-How ID

SIaughter-Spain's Soldiers May Next b

New York, Nov. ia special to TIL
World from Havana says:
-In every town in Cuba where there
are American citizens, groups Of starv
ing islanders gather every day in front
OF the houses of those Americans, beg
ging for crumbs that fall from theil
tables That Americans have anything
on their tables from which crumbs could
fall is due to the relief fund of $50. 900
voted last spring by congress. Consul
General Less has drawn, so far, about
SIS, 600 of the total amount.
There are 1,40O on the relief fund list.
OF these about go are American-born.
The others are naturalized citizens and
their families who have had their citi-
Zenship papers properly registered at
the different United States consulates
are entitled, If in distress, to the same
relief as American-born citizens.
According to a statement by Consul
Barker, VINO is stationed at Sagua, about
ten thousand people are being kept alive
in Cuba by these rations, distributed for
the support of ], 400. NeigtIoors gather
around the front door of the houses Of
American citizens and beg a snare of
the food that comes from the consulates.
Where suffering Is general, these are not
in vain, and the scant supply of rice,
jerked beef and bread is made to do
service for five instead of one.
There are no markets in any but the
bigger cities. because nothing is pro-
duced TO supply them and no one mas
money ID buy with. Misery is universal
and suffering is everywhere and the
death rate goes up higher and higher
each day.
In the town Of Ssgua. where there is
q population OF about 10000, the death
list for five years before the war WIS 500
a year. In the month Of August Of this
year GAS persons died Of starvation alone.
Consul Brice, stationed at Matanzas,
reports that since July 1, $1,000 persons
have died in his district.
General B1aRco's orders to allow the
pacificos to cultivate land outside the
military lines would diminish suffering
If the people had the strength and the
implements with which to work, but they
have neither and Wyier's scheme to ex-
terminate the Cuban people is rapidly
proving successful.
ut is generally believed here in Ha-
vana that Blanco has received orders
from Madrid to do everything possible
to prevent starvation reports from going
to the United States and that Minister
Dupuy de LONE has urged him to issue
proclamstions and orders that will con-
vey the fdea that the new regime will
take care Of the non-combatant.."
