There is a custom among small
renters of cheating their landlords
by giving part Of their crops to other
tenants For instance John Jones
plants ten acres of cotton, half of the
product is to go to the owner of the
land. When the cotton begins tc

well, who was in charge of the work of
unloading, secured eight stores in the
heart Of the city and one large shed on
the dock, engaged SO stevedores and be-
gan to unload the steamer about
o'clock. She had | 400 tons of provi-
sions on board.
The distributing began at o'clock,
allowing pound and half of rations
to each citizen. When the unloading
began crowds of half starved citizens
rushed to the dock, fighting. tramphng
one another under foot, breaking open
the cases and stealing the supplies.
Finally a picket OF troops was placed on
the wharf refusing admlttance to any
one.
The entire cargo had been landed be-
fore the distribution began. Each APP
plicant was furnished with a ration
ticket supplied by the local commits
sioners, with Colonel McKibbin's en-
dorsement.
The water supply of the city, which
was cut off on July above I'll Caney by
General Garcia's troops, leaving the
town without water, will be turned on
again tonight. The ice factory resumed
work today, using the rain water sup
ply in the cisterns.
All the liquor stores, wholesale and
retail, are closed under General Shat
ter's orders, but the Spanish soldiers
have large stock of rum on hand,
which they are exchanging for our hard
tack and corned beef.
Last night the city was very quiet and
there were no disturbances, the distri-
button of the supplies from the State of
Texas being anxiously awaited, as there
was literally nothing i'll the city to eat.
Before the refugees left for Ell Caney
-four was selling at $3.50 per barrel, bar
rels of beans at 800 per 100 pounds, con-
densed milk at IS tin and bareback at
81 per piece. At Ell Caney the prices
were still higher, $25 for tin of con-
densed milk and IS for piece of hard
tack. The ruin and want in the city
are almost uncomfortable.
Twenty-Five Cubans, political prison
ers, are still in the local JAIL but re-
port has been submitted on the subject
by the Cuban residents to General Nc
Kibbin, the temporary military COVER
nor, and their release is expected.
Admiral Sampson, accompanied by
Commodore Schley aud the marine
staff, landed at o'clock this morning
from the Vixen and met the municipal
officers of Santiago.

THE REFUGEES RETURN.
Starving Crowds Made the Journey Back

From Lack of Food.

delayed in transmission.) The refu-
gees at Dl Caney received today Gen
eral Skaters permission to return to
Santiago. The starving crowds of
women and children, ignorant of the
condition prevailing at Santiago, dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of returning,
and whether they would find food
there. They asked themselves, too,
whether as Cubans they would be safe
from maltreatment at the hands of the
defeated Spaniards.
BY o'clock in the morning the most
venturesome had started on the four
mile walk to the city, and all day long
a procession of gaunt women and
emaciated children has struggled for
ward, munching mangoes and begging
for bareback. Old men, too, weak
themselves, attempted to assist their
exhausted wives and daughters. Two
weeks Of suffering in the overcrowded
and filthy town of Ell Caney had worked
sad changes in the appearance of the
refugees.
The ram that came on early in the
Afternoon was merc1fully of short dura-
ton. Women of evident refinement
and good family struggled along on foot
or mulebaek. Several carriages came
out Of the city to carry back the fami-
lies of the Spanish officers and people
who were able to pay $50 in gold for a
miles ride. \ small proportion of the
refugees returned today. Others still

IACI.
One refugee, woman, said today
that when she left Santiago IL days ago
there was a sutficiency of coarse food,
like rice, but that meat, meal, -four, POI
tatoes, onions and.bread were lacking.
She asserted also that there was then
no yellow fever or smallpox in the city,
adding that if she had tbs experience to
live over again she would face what
ever Santiago offered in the way of dis
ease and Spanish retaliation rather
than the slow starvation, misery and
suffering prevailing at FL Caney.
There were IA deaths at Ell Caney yes
terday and twice tina. number are ex-
pected today-all from illness arising
from lack Of food. There is no yellow

SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
Beams Being Placed in the West Nor
gantOWn Bridge-Travel has not and
viii not be Interfered With.

The West Morgantown Bridge COM
pany is having number of beams put
in the bridge. These were received
last fall and have been drying and
curing since that time. The beams
are the very best wood that can be
obtained and are what experience has
shown to be the most lasting. A
thousand dollars worth of the lumber
will go in and all the old beams will
be replaced
This has been going on for some
days but it has not interfered with
travel and will not be allowed to in
terfere When the work is completed
the bridge will be very much stronger
than it has been before. At the same
time it will likely make it cost the
county court more money when they
decide that the axpayers of the coun-
ty are entitled to some consideration
Of their hands.

RIPE FOR AN EPIDEMIC.
The City of Santiago In Awful Condi-
tion-Six Yellow Fever Cases.

SANTIAGO. July Is, via Kingston, ia
maica. July 30. noon.-General Shafter
has had a thorough examination made
of the sanitary condition of Santiago.
The work was done by DR.. Goodfellow,
of the generals staff, and by q civilian
physician, Dr. Orlando DIVER. They
find that although there are present but
six cases of yellow fever in the city in
addition to two suspects, the town is
ripe for an epidemic. Santiago and Rio
Janeiro are considered the greatest fever
breeding centers in the world. This
town lacks every sanitary feature at its
best, and now, after two months siege
leaving it dirty and repellant, it is a
veritable pest The awful stenches
that arise from. - streets stagger and
choke one.
There is no sewage system. The city
drainage is all from the surface into the
harbor, and the lower pa ; of the city,
through which much or the drainage
runs, especially from the poor quarter
around the bull ring to the northwest of
the city, is the seeding center of ma
larla, typhoid and other low fevers.
There are four hospitals in the city,
the civil hospital, presided over by the
Sisters of Charity, and the military,
Mercedes ana Conchas hospitals. In
these four hospitals are 1,747 patients,
which is comparatively small number
considering the lack of food and the
long siege, but it must be remembered
that the reconcentrados were never adj
mitted to the hospitals, and when the
notifications of the proposed lombard
ment by onr batteries were received,
every patient who could stagger out was
drivers into the streets.

COL. SMITH is HEARD FROM.
He Tells about the Hospital for the
West Virginia Boys ut Chickamauga
and why then Get into 1t.

In very encouraging letter from
Chickamauga Col Smith, in speaking
Of the division hospital, where the
very sick are sent, says: I'VE were up
there the other day to see some of
our boys and were struck with the
extreme neatness and quietness
which peryaded every department.
The best surgeons Of the division are
in charge and skillful nurses are en-
ployed and the sight Of clean sheets
and pillows and soft flowing night
shirts almost make a fellow wish he
would get sick SO he would be treated
at the division hospital. A few cases
of typhoid fever have developed and
the most active precautions are being
taken to prevent the spread Of the
disease. Every care is taken to pro-
mote the good health Of the men, and
if they would themselves take care of
heir own health there would be very
title sickness here. But some Of
them will act imprudently. They
will drink from any puddle and stuff
themselves upon everything that is
offered for sale about the camp. AS
long as they do this more or less sick
ness will result.

IN THE WORKHOUSE.
Founder of the International Red
Cross Society.

Founder of the International Red
Cross Society.
In the workhouse of Heiden, in the
canton of Appenzen, Henry Dunnant,
the founder of the International Red
Cross society, is passing the closing
hours of his useful life, says the New
York Tribune. His mind is impaired,
and symptoms of insanity have APP
peaFed, so that it is doubtful whether
he will ever know that it was to him
that the international medical con-
gress, held at Moscow few weeks ago,
unanimously awarded its prize as to
''the man who has done the greatest
service to humanity and medicine in
the present age" Some years ago an
announcement of Dunnant's destitute
condition aroused universal astonish-
ment and painful surprises, which were
only set at rest when a statement was
published to the effect that the dowager
empress Of Russia had settled upon him
an annuity sufficiently large to enable
him to end his days in comfort and
peace. Unfortunately, these good in
tentions of the czarina do not appear
to have materialized, or else the money
which she intended for the founder
of the Red Cross has been diverted and
misappropriated by those intrusted
with its transmission. This often hap
pens in Russia, and it is the exception
rather than the rule when gift from
any member of the imperial house
reaches its destination.
