STARVATION IN CUBA.
America's Delay Causes Terrible Suf
fering in the Island.

ferinG i'm the Island.
New York, April 15.-The New York
Evening Telegram has the following from
its Key West correspondent:
"a great wave of apprehensive horror
is running through those who know the
actual condition of affairs in Cuba, re-
garding what must be the result of de-
lay in view of the severing of diplomatic
relations.
Naval and consular representatives
who have lately been in Cuba cannot un-
derstand why President Mckinley has
not already ordered supplies to Cuba
under convoy of warships. Having gone
so far as to defy Spain, why should he
stop now.
zone explanation is that he expects to
starve the insurgents into subjection.
This view, ! am told, has been laid be-
fore the President by certain New Eng
landers, who have steadily been grinding
sugar cane in Cuba and who Sympathize
with Spain.
Il have gone to the trouble to ascertain
what is going on in Cuba now and what
responsibility will have to be assumed by
the Government if we do not strike soon
and send in relief.
My informant says that the situation
last week in the fortified towns was just
as bad as it was when Senator Proctor
made his trip.
There were fewer starving women and
children because most of them had ac-
tually starved.
But more than a week ago Consul
The times., 1898-04-16

General Lee sent his famous message to
all the consulates, The American relief
is exhausted.
This had a double meaning because it
was the signal for all consuls, relief
workers and Red Cross agents to leave
the island.
Starvation that day ceased to be com.
bated, and President Mckinley dropped
for the time being his policy of feeding
the reconcentrados.
Without attacking President Mckinley
the men who know Cuba say that if he
is seeking TO starve the insurgents into
accepting SPANS latest ''armistice'i he Is
failing. and that the only thing ne is do
ing is making all relief to the innocent
that goes in one or two weeks hence fu-
tile.
There is relief still undistributed in
Cuba-tons of it is in warehouses. Other
tons are piling up here and in New York
Here Is an instance. An American
friend of mine had a fund of $500 to
eXpend- He was ordered to leave last
Saturday and $1,000 still remained in his
hands. This was on Saturday In q
week the price of food had doubled all
over the island, and s2 now only buys
what 81 would buy then.
Il find the men who came out of Cuba
week ago unable to comprehend the
policy of the President, whose heart only
short time ago was overhowing with
tears for the recontrados. A few of
them only are unreasonable enough to
account for it on the ground that the
New England sugar grinders have the
confidence of the President in a greater
degree than the men who have Just
come out of Cuba, and have no sugar to
grind and no Spanish officials to placate
THE Herald correspondents just out of
Cuba laugh at the idea that Mckinley
can starve the insurgents into submission.
They say they are the only ones who
can't be starved out quickly. One cor
respondent, not long ago, counted thou
sands of head of cattle running on the
island far in the interior. These have
probably been driven off by the insur-
gents, where neither Spanish nor recon
centrados can reach them"

Mrs David H Langley, of Lancing. Morgan

night, sleep almost left me. and l was almost
skeleton. / did not call my doctor as had tried
the doctors twice before when / was down with
the same trouble, and my husband paid out
great deal for me. I received no lasting benefit;
/ had almost lost all hope of ever being able to
do anything MY husband had to work very
hard and could not even attend to the babies
No know the distress of nv mind as
we'll as body. DR. Picrce's Favorice Prescription
was the only medicine that seemed to do me any
good. After had taken the first bottle and
part of the second, could sleep we'll and all my
troubles began to get better. I believe I took
eight bottles and then I felt like different
person. I gave birth to another baby and my
old complaint came back. l began using the
Favorite Prescription and was soon relieved
and was able to do my work, including the
washing"
