HOW IT WAS DONE.

He estimated at the time there were
$4,000 people in that city needing relief.
He says that 80 of the best ladies of
the city divided the city into ii dis
tricts. issuing ration tickets according
to the number of needy persons in each
house, a weeks rations being issued to
each person holding q ticket. The first
days rat.ons were issued to $40 per-
sons. and for the entire four days I'M
der consideration to 306S. He also
gave moderate quantities of the sup
plies 10 the charitable insu- ut:ons OF the
city and of the towns near by. Six or
eight policemen were required to keep
the crowds in order.
In the last communication of the
series from MIR. Hyatt, dated March y
last he SAYS:

EASTERN CUBA.

'It is" says he. beyond the power
of my pen to describe the situation in
eastern Cuba. Squalidity, starvation,
sickness and death meet one in ali
places. Beggars throng our doors and
stop US on the streets. The dead in
large numbers remain over from day to
day in the cemeteries unburied"
Mr.. Hyatt closes this letter as fol-
lows:
i do not believe that the western
continent has ever witnessed death by
starvation equalled to that which now
exists in eastern Cuba

ANNEXATION DESIRED.

strongly desire annexation, having but
little hope of a stable government IN

they view with regret the indifference

pie to such q union, and still hope that

SAVAGE INSURGENTS.

Mr. Hyatt makes reference to the
military operations in eastern Cuba in
many places, but does not attempt to
so into these in detail. In one portion
of mis- correspondence he refers to the
effort Of Mr.. Rigney, an American
planter Of Manzanillo, TO prepare
for cane grinding during the coming
season.
"A few nights since" he says, the
insurgents fired seven cannon shots
among his buildings. One ball passed
through the roof of his house Ameri-
cans were hopeful that they would be
allowed to make their crop, but the
action of the insurgents toward Mr.
Rigney may have been a personal
matter"
Sagua la Grande-John F. iowa, vice
consul at Sagua la Grande, under date
of Nov. IS. 1897. gives his view Df the
autonomists' policy promised by Blanco.
He takes strong grounds against 1t,
saying that an autOnomist party in
that district could not exist.
In the meantime recOncentrados, a
majority of whom were innocent per-
sons. who had no more aspirations than
to till their little farms. continue per-
ishing. 1t is impossible to describe the
extent and intensity of such tremen-
dous suffering of such Ubiquitous, I'M
just and sinful inquisition, TO annihi-
late thousands of women and chill
dren."

GOOD OPINION OF BLANco.

the autonomy reign on the island of

Closing this communication, Mr..
Hyatt says:

DEAD On THE STREET..

"As 1 write this" he says, "a dead
negro woman lies in the street. within
200 yards of this consulate, starved TO
death. She died some time this MORN
ing, and will lie there, maybe, for
days."
Mr.. Brice also notes the issuance Of
an order allowing the reconcentrados to
return 10 the country, but, he says, the
restrictions in the order are such as
70 practically prohibit.

food to no one having relations in the

per cent of the destitute. From this,
Mr.. Barker concludes that however
sincere may be the desire to help the

want of means. He also states that all
popular subscriptions have proved a
total failure. because the Cubans are
poverty-stricken and the Spanish Will

SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
The reDorts of the condition of af-
fairs in Santiago are made by Consul
p. e, Hyatt, beginning on the 18th of
November last. Mr.. Hyatt had then
but recently returned 10 the island.
and he begins his reports with a review
of the condition of the insurgents and
of the autonomists. He had been dis
posed, he said, to believe that the in
surgents were weakening and that the
autonomists were coming to the front.
After investigation, however. he was
convinced that such was not the fact.
\ portion of this correspondence is
withheld by the state department.
Writing on the 9Th of December, Mr..
Hyatt says:
