Guantanamo Bay, July 26.-The fol-
lowing pitiful appeal has been addressed
by the starving people of Cienfuegos to
Rear Admiral Sampson: Honorable
sir-The Cubans, old men, women and
children, resident in the town Of Glen
fuegos and this neighborhOOd, are all
dying of hunger. The young men are
all in the field with the Cuban troops
and have not shoes, neither food. All
the provisions in this town are in the
hands of the Spaniards. Cubans can
not obtain piece Of bread, as it is neces-
sary to send everything to the field. The
Weyler system is in the way. The
situation is terrible. If you, honorable
sir, do not come quick with your squad
ron in our help and take possession of
this town we shall be lost. We beg you
to precipitate your operations. About
5000 old men, women and children will
die Of hunger in this poor town. Some
of these old men have four or five sons
fighting for its freedom. This is our
situation, horrible situation. If the
great people of the United States do not
come quick in our help we are lost Fol-
Gods sake come quick"
Nothing can be done for the people of
Cienfuegos until that place is captured
This will not be for some time.

Triple Tragedy.
BoyIam Shot wife. Mothtr-in-IRw and
HIMSELF.

Woonsocket, July 26.-One Of the most
vicinity transpired in Blackstone Mon
day evening, stirring that town to its
depths and causing intense excitement
in this city. Bernard f. Boylan, his
wife and his mother-in-law, Kate
Maroney, were the people concerned.
BoylsA murdered the latter, shot his
wife seriously and ended his mental
misery by suicide.
Nobody heard the sound Of the shots.
but three men who were in the front Of
the house saw the women come out, and
heard one scream, Barney shot us"
The men helped them into David H.
Gilberts store, where Mrs. Maroney
fell to the floor in an unconscious state
Her condition was at once seen to be
very serious and she was taken to the
home of James Carney, where at S:0t
she died. Mrs. Boylan was removed to
the home Of Joseph Largess where an
attempt was made TO operate on her.
The bullet was removed from the abb
domen, but the one that lodged in the
liver could not be reached, and as the
patient was in critical state, second
attempt to extricate it was delayed.
Immediately after the shooting had
been reported to the town officers, Sheriff
Nugent went to the Maroney tenement
to find Boylan. The man was found
lying on his left side, near the kitchen
stove, with the right hand slightly raised
and clenched as if he had the revolver
in his hand, although the weapon was
lying under his face, with one unused
cartridge in it. The pool Of blood in
which Boylan lay was his own lifeblood,
for as the sheriff leaned over him, it
was seen that a wound behind the ear
had been inflicted. Boylan had shot
himself, and death relieved his sufferings
in less that an hour after the time he
shot the women. He was unconscious
when found, and died without showing
any sign of intelligence.

Shafter: General Miles has returned
from San Luis and Palma Soel, where
he went four days ago to receive the sur
render of Spanish troops. The num-
Der surrendered was larger than Cen
eral Toral reported, for 1905 Spanish
troops and $50 volunteer guerillas gave
up their arms and gave parole and have
gone to work. Three thousand stands of
arms were turned in loaded on ox-carts
and started to the railroad. The Span

out by fire Monday, 200 dwellings, I'VE

started in a business block through u

the complete absence of water supply or

With few exceptions the buildings
were wooden. and a large section of the
town was closely built. At this part
the fire swept through whole blocks
with lightning rapidity, and people fed
for their rVes, losing everything. The
foreign shipping in port was slightly
damaged. The town was very little
