STARVING In MANILA.
Even the Richest People Short of Food
Selling Cattle-An Epidemic of Dis
ease Among tho Residents.

Manila, July 30.-(Nia Hong Kong, Aug.
9)-The scarcity of food now affects even
the richest class in Manila, There is no
meat, bread, or -four, except very small
reserves, chiefly laid under requisition for
the Spanish troops.
The newspapers, though rigidly censor
ed, admit that the famine and the unpre-
cedentod rains are causing an epidemic.
They pretend that the disorders are tri-
vial intestinal ailments; but | believe
most of them are dyscntery due 10
wretched food and the dangerous charac-
persons are i'll.
slaughtering horses and dogs. The news
papers admit that the military bakers are
reduced to the necessity of using rice, the
stock of which Will shortly be exhausted.
The stock Of fuel too Is exhausted and
the bakers are burning doors and window
frames. 1t Is impossible to eat uncooked
rice.
A decree has been Issued authorizing the
entry of private premises and the seizure
OF cattle and horses there for a nominal
payment Several animals belonging to
BRITISH owners have been taken though
there were plenty belonging to Spanish
owners, that had not been seized. An at
tempt was made to seize the indispensable
pony of the consular physician. and con-
siderable Indignation has been expressed.
There may possibly be some trouble over
It.

stantly Ill of late, has beeen absent for a
week; but the vice-consul Is unwearying

at Fort Mcpherson Reported
as Recovering.

Chickamauga Park, Ga, Aug S-Regi-
mental dress parade was held this after
noon. Major Estey was in command The
men appeared for the first time clad in
their new brown duck uniforms. Many
say that the parade was one OF the best
ever held by the First. The boys. in their
plue shirts and duck trousers and lcgginy
make first class showing and a ycry
pretty sight. A band would add greatly
TO the attractivencss of parade, since
music Is an essential feature of the even
ing ceremony.
The regiment was paid off TODAY. On
n was the first to receive the much loneed
for coin, and the last company did not
march away from headquarters until sew
eral hours after dinner. All the fakirs
were evidently aware of the fact that the
vermont boys were to be paid TODAY,
ior early THIS morning they began to flock
INTO camp and by the time the last com
pany had received its money there was
small army of them in quarters, and
from the business they appeared to be
doing 1t Is safe 10 say that they took
away large amount of money. A fact
noticed all along the camps is that Uncle
SANS volunteer is very lavish in the ex-
pcnditurc of his money until the last cent
has disappeared, and then he wonders
how long 1t will be until next pay day.
Con. breckenridge, who Is in command
OF the troops here in the park, Will soon
inaugurate series of long practice
marches. This news reached camp to-day
and all the boys are wondering when we
Will have orders to break camp The gem
eral has made several suggestions which.
If carried out, will greatly relieve the
monotony OF life here at the park.
Pursuant TO the order from Gen Breck-
hnridse detail Of men is sent every day
to aid In the construction of a permanent
hospital for some OF the more serious
passes in the park. The hospital will be
located about one mile southeast Of Lyle.
Lieut.. knickerbocker of Company B, who
was detailed by Col. Mimms to proceed
to Fort Mcpherson, Atlanta, and investi-

Already the troops are in constant and
