IN GREAT NEED
Commissioners Sent by Gomez
Tell Of a Very Distressing
Situation.
Cuban Army in the Province of
Santa Clara Said to Be
Starving.
Vegetables Gone and the Last
Mules and Horses Killed
For Food.
Relief Can Come Only From This
Country or by Breaking the
Armistice.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Telegrams
have been received at the Cuban lega-
tons from commissioners who arrived
at Key West, and who were sent TO
this country by General Gomez. the
Cuban insurgent leader. These tele.
grams depict the situation in the prov
ince of Santa Clara as most critical.
The Cuban army is said to be starving.
The vegetables are almost gone and the
last mules and horses have been killed
to feed the sick. The children and old
people are said to be dying by dozens
every day.
The general appeals for aid and says
his men are desperate. The Spanish
are dong all they can to make the in
surgents' situation more terrible. 1t
is feared that serious results may arise
from this and the Cubans cannot be
blamed ii they are forced to take the
necessaries of life. This they can do
by capturing a town, but the Cubans
have pledged themselves not to violate
the armistice and they therefore appeal
to the United States in order to avoid
a conflict.

Mosquitoes and whisky in the KIOn
EfIxp
From Leslie's Weekly.


We camped at Lake Marsh, and did
little but fight mosquitoes. We tried TO
keep them out of the tents, but with all
our precautions enough got in to keep us
busily occupied. Neither smoke nor fire
had any effect on them. found a splen-
did remedy in a little bottle of oil Of pen,
nyroyal. The rest of the party refused
trying it, saying that the smell was very
disagreeable to them, but l managed, by
keeping everything around me plentifully
sprinkled with this oil, TO make the trip
with a fair degree of comfort; and / say
right here, give me anything in prefer
ence TO the Alaskan mosquito. The moose
and caribou teach us all a lessOn-they
seek the hilltop to avoid the pest. From
Marsh Lake we entered the Lewes river.
This river proved to be quite stream,
and is navigable for boats of four or five
feet draught. Here we first saw the high
cut banks. These banks are of cement
and sand. Here for mile after mile we
gazed at a regular network or frieze of
martins nests. Wherever the sand de-
post occurs on these banks the martins
utilize IL for building their nests and rear
ing their young. These playful little
birds seem to live on nothing but mosqui-
toes. We all voted to pray for the mar
tins long life and that they might have
voracious appetiles To see these mar
tins defend their nests against the raven
is a very interesting sight. OF course,
we helped the martins, and used our rifles
TO throw some CONSERVATION among the
ravens.
Indians will trade you almost anything
for a drink of whisky. 1t Is no unusual
sight to see the squaws and little Indian
children Keeling and drunk as well as the
brave old warriors. So much for the in
roads of civilization. We have sent them
priests, pastors, teachers and missions:
and while we have sent them all of these
to elevate their minds and save their souls
we have also sent them that all-powerful
fire-water to degrade; so that. while our
builders are piling up, our destroyers are
pulling down. 1t is the same old story
of the decadence of the North American
Indian only repeated In shorter space
of time. AS a consequence the natives
especially of the Lower Yukon river, are
filthy and degraded, and their mortality
is so great that few short years will see
them creatures of the past, and relic
hunters will find an interesting feature
in their places of burial
