The following table, giving the num-
Der Of death In Cuba from starvation,
has been compiled from United States
consulor reports and Spanish state
nlcnts:
Havana Province :. .................. 1900
Santa Clara Province .............. 10000
Pinar dcl~Rio Province .............. 5000
Matanzag Province. .................... yD,eyl
Puerto Principe and Santiago Prov
ince controlled by Insurgents. 10000
Total 10000
: This sum total OF the barbarous war
fare that has been conducted in Cuba
by the Spanish government is bad
enough. Il Is alleged to be the record OF
three years OF an attempt by Spain to
suppress an instruction which 1t has
always characterized as an uprising OF
4 few bands OF brlsands." In this vain
attempt the Spanish government has
sacrificed. In addition TO the above limo
cents. the lives of more than 100000 OF
its soldiers. who have died OF disease
and in battle. and the suppression OF the
rebellion is no nearer in sight than 1t
was it the beginning.
The end Of the slaughter and the STAR
walton, however. IS in sight, and It Is
coming soon. Uncle Sam has deter
mined that It shall come. and it will.
The horrible picture will soon be wiped
out, though not from memory, and In Its
stead will be a scene Of peace and re-
stored prosperity on the devastated is
land.

1t is according to official etiquette
OF course that the President OF the
United States and the President of
Hawaii should exchange calls, but
the proceeding 10 we'll calculated to
make the average American very
tired Sanford Dole is merely the
tool in the hands of few schemers,
who have overthrown the native
government Of the Hawaiian Isl
ands aud usurped the country for
their own selfish purposes and who
now propose to deliver the stolen
goods to the United States in return
Tor the assumption OF debt OF S4,-
100000 by us. American citizenship
and protection for the looters and a
couple of seats in the Senate aud
one in the House, and few other
fat federal Offices for the ringleaders
of the plot, all without the advice
or consent of a majority OF native
Hawaiians.
This is the plain English OF Ha-
waiiau annexation, and it is to fur
ther this scheme that Dole comes in
person to this country, and is made
the guest of the nation and shown
the same official honors that would
be extended to the Gar Of Russia,
the most powerful ruler in the
world, were he to visit us. Dole's
coming, instead of being heralded
as an occasion for honor and demon
stration, deserves to be condemned
as piece Of impudence. This old
man is making the final effort to
clinch the iaiquitous plan OF Hawai-
ian annexation, and goes to Wash
ington to exert the influence OF his
presence upon the Senate.
The very fact of his hasty and
practically unannounced visit at
this time is sufficient in itself to lead
to the belief that there is something
radically wrong in the annexation
movement. The plotters evidently
know that the longer the matter
hangs fire the greater is the oppor-
tuuity afforded the American peo-
pile to see the danger and injustice
which the plan carries. They de.
sire to hasten annexation, and Dole
is sent to bring matters to climax
before it is too late. The Senate
should repudiate Hawaii and Dole
and the whole business. But will it?

The price of thing is generally
what it is worth, competition
regulates that. The higher the price,
the better the quality as a rule; but
price doesn't always guarantee
quality, the reputation OF the seller
counts.
There's great responsibility selling
groceries.
Lille and health depend on good
nutritious food.
That's the kind we sell.
Refined folks use refined foods;

LEAVE DEAD UNBURIED
The Spaniards Refuse to Take
Care of Their Slain on the
Field of Battle.

New York, July 2.-As soon as the
Panther, which is now at the Brooklyn
navy-yard, receives her armament, it is
expected that she will join the new flying
squadron of Commodore Watson, which
is being formed to harass the Spanish
coast. The Panther will carry a COM
plement Of 2S4 sailors and marines. The
battery will consists of six 5-inch and
tour rapid-ire guns. 1t was from the
Panther that the first body of troops, con-
sIstIng of 600 marines, was landed at
Guantanamo
A man on the Panther who was pres
ent when Surgeon John Blair Gibbs was
killed told the following story Of the kill
ing:
Surgeon Gibbs was shot while dress
ing a wound. The bullets were patter-
ing about like hail. Gibbs had cleaned
the wound of the man, and was dressing
1t when he was struck. The bullet a
Mauser, mushroomed 1t went in at the
left temple and came out at the right
Where it went in the hole was about
the size of a lead pencil Where it came
out it was as big around as a teacup
forward on his face. When picked up he
was dead The stories that our men
were not mutilated is wrong. | know

body was mutilated. His heart had been
cut out when we found him. He was so
chopped up that ali we could do was 10
bury him where he lay.
1.-The day of the last fight Capt. Elliott's
men closed up well that gave the Span
lards drinking water. After the fight we
found forty-seven dead Spaniards that had
tried to reach 4 stream to get water
They had dragged themselves to it and
some were on its banks when they died.

name of the Marblehead's launch-to
the city of Guantanamo under a flag of
truce and asked the Spaniards to bury
their dead. We told them they might
send men out and they would not be in
terfered with. They did not do it. We
sent them word again, but they refused
to bury their own dead. The buzaards
were about in swarms and the sight was
sickening one.
The treatment of the Spanish wound
ed is terrible. They leave them on the
field to die. There are no ambulance
corps in their army and their soldiers are
naked. Their guerrilas wear a roughly
fashioned palm leaf hat: another palm leaf
is a mask, a cartridge belt, machete,
rifle and 4 pair of shoe soles tied on like
sandals is THEN make up.
The Cubans go about in the same way
and make no prisoners. They cut the
Spaniards threats and smile We did
not think much of the Cubans at first,
but they are wonders. They go through
that brush like ia bbits, head down and
machete ready. They come back with
Spaniard's gun and equipments. Asked
where the prisoner is, they say, His
panOla,' and draw their hand across their
Threats.
There is plenty of fun in the situation
and the Cubans furnish it. We gave
them shoes. In day their feet were
blistered and some had corns. They
have cut up the shoes until there is moth
ing left but the soles, and these are tied
on their feet. When they got the shoes
they were pleased. That night many of
them came back to camp over the cactus
their backs"

SQUADRON BULLETIN.
Little Paper Published on Board the
Flagship New York Gives
News of the Fleet.

Washington, D. c., July "a second
edition of the Squadron Bulletin, published
on the flagship New York off Santiago.
has just reached the navy department. and
for tiny sheet, 4x7 inches, it abounds in
news OF its date, which is June IL Most
of the facts set out in the bulletin have
already been treated by the press CORE
spondentS with the squadron or ashCIe.
A large part of this particular issue IS
made up OF letter written by Felix Pare
ia at Guantanamo, addressed to the Span
lsh military commander al Santiago, which
was captured by the Cubans en- route
The latter gives description from the
Spanish point of view OF the attack by the
American fleet on Playa Gel Este and on
the forts in the entrance to Guantanamo
bay. The VIII er sail that as flaya de,
Este had only two muZZlelOadng guns
and sand entertainments, the detachment
could do nothing before the ships firing on
them from all sides, SO the soldiers were
obliged TO retire. The writer speaks OF
the shortage of ammunition among the
Spaniards and comments with an air of
wonder upon the serenity with which the
American squadron took possession of the
outer bay, as if for a harbor of rest"
He declares that he has no -four and is
serving out half rations and is in hard
straits generally.
A paragraph from the Bulletin announ-
ces that Garcia is on his way with 1000
men, all well armed and supplied from
the expedition from Florida. He is said
to have left behind q number of his men
to prevent any junction with the Spanish
forces at H0Iouin

STATEMENT OF PUBLIC DEB T
Decrease is Noted for the Month of
June.

Washington, D. c., July 2.-The month
ly statement Of the public debt shows
that at the close of business June so the
debt less cash in the treasury, amounted
to $1,021 ,OS5, 1872, a decrease during the
month Of $10,6SS26S. This decrease is
accounted for by a corresponding increase
in the amount of cash on hand The in
crease in the cash comes largely from the
