CONDITIONS IN HAVANA
PLIGHT OF THE POOR
PEOPLE.
Price of Food has Gone Up to Famine
Rates-IIundreds are Starving-An
Insurrection Imminent.

NEW YORK. May 27.--A special to
the World from Havana, via Key
West. SAYS. Business is at stand
still. Very few mercantile transac-
tions are effected. Everybody avoids
transactions, as it is publicly an
nounced that all operations will he
considered void. Most of the business
houses on Oboho street, the main bus
mess thoroughfare of the city, are
closing up. There is talk that some
have been transferred nominally from
the present owners. who are Spaniards
to Cubans and foreign individuals, to
avoid contiscation, which is generally
expected with American occupation
and Cuban independence. Spaniards
having property are willing that the
home government should concede the
demands of the United States, but the
lower classes, who are daily instiga'ed
by Blanco, are fully prepared to meet
all emergencies, and. in fact, anxious
that American invasion should begin.
Havana has been fortified to meet
land attack and all the cavalry forces
concentrated in Havana province. Sup
plies are getting very scarce in Hava-
ma. Prices of goods are subject to
hourly rises. most articles having adj
vanced in price from $50 to 300 per
cent. Even well to do people have
been deprived of some of the necessa-
ries of life. AS for the poor they are
deprived of everything and in the
same box as the reconcentrados. These
last only pray for the return of the
guardian angel" as they term Clara
Barton. These people are dying daily
in large numbers. Rafael Fernandez
Decastro, having abandoned the Is
land with his family, has placed Mon
tero Giborja and Do!ez, his autonomist
colleagues. in very ethical situation,
and they are using all means to leave
the Island. These men have been the
supposed representatives of the Cuban
people in the autonomist party. Al
though loved and respected before,
they are now hated and despised.
The general opinion is that the eH-
listing condition of affairs cannot last
long without an uprising of the low
err classes. as the government compeIs
the troops to be supplied first. en-
hausting the food supply rapidly. If
the people today had chance to
leave fully Is per cent of the popu-
lation of Havana would take advant-
age of it. Many families are trying
to get to the coast. as they have been
told that the blockading American
ships will take them off.
