1t is Impossible to Get Beef at
Any Price.
Even Horse Flesh Costs a Dollar a Pound
and Bread TWenty-Eight Gents
People Dying Every Day on the
Streets of Starvation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Accounts of
the condition of affairs in Havana,
Matanzas and Cardenas have been
given by passengers of the steamer
Fridtjof Nansen, which arrived to-day
from Sagua. She brought twenty-nine
refugees, most of whom We're Span
iards, who had made all sorts Of sacri-
fees to escape from the island in an
ticipation of it's being controlled by the
insurgents. Many of them We're well
supplied with funds, having turned all
their available property into cash. They
paid $3.50 for passage.
Almost all those on board being
Spanish sympathzers, a meeting was
held in the saloon, while the ship was
off Barnegat, n. j., at which a ma
jority pledged themselves to refuse to
give any information to Americans re-
garding the condition of things in Cuba.
A few, however, consented to talk but
were unwilling to permit their names
to be used.
One woman, who had reached Sagua
by rail from Havana, said that the
condition of affairs in the Capital was
deplorable, and was daily growing
worse. There is plenty of money"
she said, but of what use is it when
it will hardly purchase anything?
1T is impossible to get beef at any
price, and even horse flesh costs 81 a
pound. Bread costs % cents pound,
and is very bad at that. Eggs, which
are brought in from the country m
small quantities, cost 30 cents. each
The supply of condensed milk is prae-
tically exhausted, and the little left

starvation in the streets every day and
this takes no account of the scores

In the provinces of Havana and Ma
tanzas recently there have been several
skirmishes between Spanish forces and
bands of insurgents.
An insurgent force under the leader
ship of Camejo opened fire on Thursday
last on San Nicholas, but was seeming
ly repulsed by the garrison after short
period of fighting. The insurgents are
also announced to have attacked Ga
maraza. defended by fort, in the prov
ince of Santa Clara, for the purpose of
capturing cattle which We're pasturing
there. The Spanish version of the af-
fair says the insurgents were driven off
after an exchange of shots which last
ed ten minutes.
The free kitchens here have distrib'
uted about 1900 rations during the
last two days. 1t is estimated that
about 1900 persons are being fed
daily from charitable sources. The mu-
nicipality contributed $4,000 monthly TO
the charitable funds.
From to-day on about 10000 rations
will be distributed daily.
The "Union Constitutional" in an ed
itorial yesterday, says that the Spanish
temperament, additionally excited by
the tropical heat, scars in a moment
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm or
sinks to the most exaggerated point of
depression. In explanation, the paper
remarks that the shout of every one to
help himself will demoralize the army
here as much as the cry that every
thing is lost. Continuing, the Union
CONSTITUTIONAL advises the people not
to give way before the alarming state
ments of the pessimists, and says: IF
the United States sincerely wishes this
country to be prosperous and to enjoy
peace, it will find in Spanish sovereign
" the most satisfactory elements to
bring such a state Of affairs about
In a second editorial the Union Con-
stitucionar' calls upon the people to
resist to the utmost, saying that even
if Spain is routed here it will be @only
an accident, as well as a misfortune" I"
The paper then says: Even if Spain
is smashed here on the island of Cuba
and its inhabitants are deserted, owing
to the treason of some of the CubanS
and the immense power of the great
republic, which wants to appear hu-
name, but which is hundred times
more lnhuman and cruel than ii is eX-
tensive in territory, they will never be
| able to reduce Spain to impotence and
appear less barbarous among nations" I"

HEADQUARTERS OF THE FIRST
DIVISION OF THE FIFTH ARMY
CORPS, near Santiago de Cuba July
22.-Major General Shafter having au-
thorized the publication of the official
report of Brigadier General J. Ford
Kent, of the battle of July 1st, ID and
Sd, certified copy OF the report IS now
furnished to the Associated Press by
Major A. G. Sharpe Assistant Adju-
tant General First Division, Fifth Army
Corps.
In this report. which is dated July
1th, General Kent, after detailing the
movements which brought on the battle
of July 1st, gives the first official state
ment covering certain incidents of that
engagement.
The commander Of the Fifth Corps
had directed General Kent to make
green hill in the distance, the objective
point of his left, and to keep the right
of his division on the main road leading
to Santiago. The advance was begun
after the enemy's artillery had opened
in reply to Grimes battery. Instruc-
tions had been given to allow the cav
airy the right of way, but they moved
very slowly, the report says, causing a
delay of fully forty minutes in the gen.
eral advance.
During the advance, General Kent re-
ports, the division suffered heavy losses,
caused by the balloon near by attract
ing the enemy's fire and disclosing the
position of the division.
Describing the fighting in the vicinity
Of the main ford of the San Juan River,
the report says:
1.-The enemy's infantry fire, steadily
increasing in intensity, now came from
all directions, not only from the front
and the dense tropical thickets on our
fianks. but from sharpshooters thiekly
posted in trees in our rear and from
shrapnel, apparently aimed at the

TREATY WITH FRANCE.
The United States Would Like to
1nclude New Products

PARIS, Aug. 3.-The Temps this
afternoon says the United States has
notified the French Minister for For
eign Affairs, NJ. del Case, that she de-
sires to enlarge the reciprocity treaty
by including new products. France,
the paper adds, has accepted the sug-
gestion, and the negotiations on the
subject will be opened.
The newspapers are attacking Pre-
mier Sagasta and his colleagues. the
correspondent of the Temps" contin-
ues. They assert that the Premier
opened negotiations yesterday with
Senor Pidell, President of the Spanish
Chamber of Deputies, with the view
of returning the Conservatives to power
as soon as peace is arranged, believing
that the Conservatives are more COM
petent to reorganiZe the country. Senior
Sagasta'S partisans deny this.

attitude to be assumed by the United
states toward the Philippine insurgents
IN the event that we reach an agree
ment for the suspension of hostilities
with Spain.
1t is stipulated in our peace terms
that the United States military forces
shall occupy and establish a military
form of government over the city of
Manila and the bay, with the surround
ing territory. This involves an imme-
date surrender of the Spanish forces.
not to Aguinaldo, but to General Mer
rltt, and there is now apprehension
that the insurgents will resent this very
bitterly, and that it will be necessary
to expel them forcibly from the terri
tory described. Beyond this, it is said
in some quarters that pending the de-
cision of the peace commissioners as to
the future of the Philippines, the United
States will be morally bound to main
tain the statu quo of the island at
large.
In other words, having deprived
Spain of the means of resisting the on
slaughts of the insurgents, it has been
urged that the United States would be
bound to prevent the latter from con-
tinuing their warfare. There is lack
of information in Washington on many
important points as to the conditions in
the Philippines. For instance, ii is not
known, even approximately, how ex-
tensive the revolutionary movement has
been throughout the vast group of
l,GOO islands, and among the large pop
Glation, estimated to aggregate between
S,OOO,OOO and 10, 100000. If the revolu
tionary movement is general and ex
tends to very many of the islands. the
task presented to the United States
military and naval authorities will be
one of great magnitude, in the event
that ii is decided to be incumbent on US
not to restore Spanish sovereignty
where it has been lost, but to prevent
its overthrow in sections where it is
still supreme, and to prevent eXcesseS
and outrages at the hands of the in
surgents.

Trouble Again Breaks Out in the
Supreme Court.

MILWAUKEE CWis.), Aug. s.
Trouble has broken out again in the
ranks of the Supreme Court of the
United Order of Foresters. William
A. Stoltz, who is at the head Of the
Chicago faction, says the attorneys
representing his side were not author
lied to sign the stipulation that the
late decision of Judge Ludwig in the
Superior Court should be decisive, and
to-day secured an order from the court
citing Judge Schoonmaker, head of the
Minnesota faction, in whose favor The
decision was rendered, to show cause
why the stipulation should not be set
aside. 1t is the intention of Mr.
Stoltz to appeal to the Supreme Court
for final action. Meantime the funds
of the society are tied up in the North

EVIDENCE OF A MURDER.
Dead Body of a Woman Found on
Breakwater at Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE (Wis.), Aug. 3.-The
dead body OF woman apparently
about AZ years of age was found on
the Government breakwater to-day by
two fishermen 1t was probably
washed there by the heavy sea oe last
night. The corpse had evidently been
in the water since June Attached to
the body was a large iron chain wound
twice around the waist, at the end Cf
which hung a weight weighing about
ten pounds. The circumstance leads
the police to believe that the woman
was murdered. There are no marks
on her clothing which could lead to
her identity. Nearly all the hair nad
left the head, the little remaining show
ing an auburn tinge. There is no wo-
man missing from Milwaukee.

A Chinese Breakfast.

The ordinary Chinese, writes an
American resident of Shanghai,
whether in city or village, takes his
breakfast at the teahouse or restau-
rant. II consists almost entirely of
meat rolls or patties. They are dip
ped in vinegar, soy or a solution of
red pepper, when eaten. Sometimes
the steamed rolls, after they have
grown old, are made palatable by
being toasted on a grill over a char
coal fire. Another popular dish is
doughnut fried in oil Baking is al
most entirely unknown, but there is
a cake of the size and shape Of an
OK rib, which is baked by being
stuck on the inside of a jar shaped
furnace, in which there is a hot
charcoal fire. These cakes are some
times circular, but in every case
they are covered with the seeds of
the sesame. which add very much to
the flavor Another variety is a
large, round cake cooked on a grid
die, and which is divided into quar-
ters when offered for sale. The Mo
hammedan Chinese make a similar
cake, of which they are also very
fond, without using any pork fat.
For the better quality of native
pastry and confectionery rice -four
is used, but at the treaty ports and
the cities to which foreign influence
has extended many forms of sweet
cake and biscuit are made of Ameri-
can -four. Even for purely native
varieties of rolls and cakes the
American -four is now preferred on
account of its whiteness and whole
someness. New York Herald.

POETRY AND SCIENCE.
Poet Laureate Austin Says They Are Com
PlamentAry and Not RivAls-


Poet Laureate Austin Says they Are Com
plamentmry and Not RivA1a-
It is so commonly assumed that
poetry and science are antagonis &c
that an address delivered by tie
poet laureate, Alfred Austin, at the
opening of a new school of science
and art, deserves a wide publicity.
Macaulay, with his well known love
of antithesis, once endeavored to
show that as civilization advances
poetry almost necessarily declines,
and taking science as one of the
most important factors in the civil
lizing process the inference is that
a poet with a knowledge of scientific
facts labors under a disadvantage.
Now, however, we are able to give
a poet laureate's opinion that science
and art are complementary to one
another and not rivals. Science,
said Mr.. Austin, is exact knowledge
that and nothing more. But exact
knowledge is the foundation of all
real greatness in any of them who
did not have the firmest grasp Of
the permanent facts which underlie
them. Music, the most intangible
and fantastic of the arts, cannot
move one step or excite a single
emotion without submitting to the
severe discipline of numbers Final
ly, the matter of a poets verse il
not of much account unless il be ami
mated by the scientific spirit of
close and wide observation and of
loving accuracy.
It must be obvious to any one who
has read the "Divina Commedia"
that the greatest poet of the middle
ages, than whom there was none
greater in any age, was thorough
ly familiar with all the science or
exact knowledge of his time, and
Leonardo da Vinci, who might
have equals but had no superior
in the realm of painting, was not
more fascinated by artistic concep-
tons than by what are called scien-
tito problems, and at these he la
bored indefatigably. Alike, there
fore, by necessity and choice, art
exhibits a sympathetic kinship with
science. The scientific spirit, far
from being hostile to the artistic
spirit, is ancillary TO it, for, an Dry
den said, Genius is perfected by
science" The noblest manifesto
tions of both have always occurred
in one and the same epoch. Athens
produced Euclid as we'll as Prax-
iteles, the vigorous old age of Mi
chael Angelo overlapped the preco-
oious youth of Galilei, and Bacon
was the contemporary of Shakes
peare. And though the century
now drawing to a close has becn
pre-eminently a scientific century
the locomotive and the telephone
will not be more enduring than the
verse of Byron and Tennyson or
than the pictures of Turner and
Watts. The reasoning intellect il
the foundation alike of science and
of art, but, concluded Mr.. Austin,
while reason alone sufices to
science, art is reason uaDsfgured
by emotion.
