IN RAGS AND STARVING

Mobile Ala, May 9.-The American
bark John r Stantzope is in port from
Honduras. Since she left Mobile last tins
the vessel has been in Manzinillo, on The
southeast coast Of Cuba. which por

to the Associated Press representative OF
the military condition existing there, be-
ing verified by the mate. Thomas Coburn'
because of demonstrations hostile 10
Americans the officers and crew Of the
vessel did not frequent the shore, but
during their visits to the city they saw
and heard enough to convince them that
the Spanish soldiers are utterly unable
10 cope with even an inferior American
force.
A ca,zalryman who could converse in
good English told them that there are
5000 Spanish soldiers in the city and
that 600 had died during the week that
the StanElope was there. oil neglect and
want. From the same source Captain
Marshal learned that the whole troops
were 50 disconnected with their treatment
that they would willingly go over to the
insurgents. hut the relief of freedom and
sufficient food was denied them because
the insurgents distrusted them. and had
refused all overtures for such a union.
The troops were quartered in the streets
and at night slept under verandas and
in Goo-ways. They derapded accommo-
dations from the citizens but it was re-
fused them and they were powerless TO
enforce it. The rations for day con-
sisted Of barley water. a small portion of
bread ard small piece Of pork. This
was doled out by the Officers and carried
away like a plate Of unsavory soup all
in the same Tin dish. ana the soldiers
disposed Of It like ravergDus dogs. They
were ragged and dirty in appearance. IN
soldierly in bearing and discipline and
their courage had been killed by vicissi-
tudcs and Entertainment.
Mate COburn said that negro tramps
on the wharves Of Mobile looked respect
able in comparison and were infinitely
better off One night on the outskirts Of
the city he saw hundreds Of Spanish SOL
diers hud6led together like animals. on
the floor Of an old stable. The mortality
among the soldiers is the result of their
condition aud not of the climate
american troops need have no fear"
said the mate, while the terrible NOR
tality is not exaggerated in the dis
patches to this country there are more
deaths from starvation and its concomit-
ant diseases than from any climatic NAL
adies.'
From the best information obtainable
Captain Marshal is of the opinion that
the whole of the 10000 troops thrown into
Manzanillo from the province of SANTA

awaiting a favorable opportunity to re-

lost and prices as a rule We're lower
than last night. Not only in the
specialties whose weakness stopped the
advance but in the standard stocks and
those which had led the advance as
well.
At the opening the bull contingent
had to face a series of declines for
Americans in London, but the tendency
of London market after its opening
was upward, and the declined there
were ignored, prices here opened higher
all along the line.
There was a fair volume Of orders to
buy which had come to commission
houses over night as a result of the
strength displayed, yesterday, and
there was no selling for London ac-
count to amount to anything. The
Changers all showed strength but Rock

The unsettled tone of Tobacco and
the large quantity of transactions in 1t

bull campaign received an effectual
check for the day and was not renewed.
